If you have the chance I would 100% recommend booking at stay at the Temple - it's nothing but the most tranquil, well set up, and visually stunning place to stay. The owners have done an incredible job creating such a beautiful home that forces you to slow down and truly relax. The garden and the spa are to be admired and enjoyed, which we did thoroughly! The hospitality provided was also so thoughtful and we really appreciate the opportunity to stay at such a wonderful place. We'll be looking to book again soon!
