"The perfect place to chill out for the weekend with the care and pampering of a contemporary health spa. Following a multi-million euro makeover, the spa offers a host of activities and treatments to pamper your troubles away."
‘Best Spa', Evening Herald Travel Awards, January 2006

"Temple of Treats – visit Temple for a peaceful getaway. Between the pampering and the serene setting, you won't want to leave. Dining here comprises healthy, simple, mainly organic produce that tastes fantastic. The chef manages to make healthy eating a sheer joy through a small but imaginative menu boasting mostly local and seasonal ingredients. The new bedrooms complete with stunning views of the surrounding countryside, a twinkling new reception area, a wonderfully comfy lounge…Temple has got this just right. If you need to chill, de-stress, detox or just need some peace and quiet, I can't recommend this place highly enough."
Claire Taaffe, Business & Finance, January 2006

"Visit the tranquil Temple. It's only an hour's trip from Dublin and no sooner had Mum and I arrived than we were seduced by Temple's tranquillity. I'd chosen Chocotherapy, a divine two hour treatment. Mum had opted for a facial and body massage and was thrilled with the results. We then headed off for a delicious lunch. The friendly staff are very professional and its so easy to just switch off and relax thoroughly. Book it now for a great weekend away on a variety of themes."
Sally Hennessy, Evening Herald, January 2006

"Everything befits a pampering retreat to spoil the senses…excellent contemporary décor, balconies, hot tubs and state of the art facilities. Temple is worth visiting for the food alone. Dinner was a treat: excellent seafood, flavoursome vegetables, good wines and a fabulous, fluffy lemon meringue. Facilities are immaculate, everything is efficient and the staff are friendly and discreet."
Sharon Miney, Woman's Way, January 2006

"As a recent visitor to Temple this reporter can testify to the fabulous holistic experience which the spa offers. Attention to detail and a focus on the mind, body and spirit offers a unique retreat from the pressures of daily life…If you're looking to be pampered, revitalised, refreshed and ready to face the world again then Temple will certainly answer your call."
Mairead O' Shea, Roscommon Herald, January 2006

"Stressed out city slickers and time-poor couples should head to Temple…the spa is more luxurious than ever, with relaxing treatments, and excellent food."
Prudence, January 2006

"Looking for a pre-party pamper or a post-party repair? Here is a fabulous spa choice…You must try Temple's exclusive ISHI Chocotherapy range of face and body treatments – bursting with antioxidants and anti radicals that nourish the skin and protect it from signs of ageing."
Cara Magazine, December 2005

"Few other houses in Ireland can maintain the conspiracy of perfect peace and relaxation that you find here. You walk through the door and you walk into another world."
John and Sally McKenna, The Bridgestone 100 Best Places to Stay in Ireland

"If you're looking for a healthy escape - hold the pain and denial - head to the temple of calm."
Leane De Cerbo, IT Magazine

"One healthy walk, one delicious afternoon snooze, an hour or two of reading and two nights of uncommonly deep sleep all contributed to a sense of wellbeing that lasted well beyond the weekend."
Mary Dowey, Image Magazine
