Having stayed at all 3 properties on site this isn’t my favourite but it’s still to a good standard. The house is pretty clean and tidy and we loved the safe garden for our dog to run around in and the view from the garden is wonderful.. There is some attention needed to damp areas in the house both upstairs and down. The downstairs bedroom particularly has a musty smell which I see has been mentioned before. The only thing that would be of absolute benefit to the house would be curtains/window coverings of some kind in the large lounge room. It’s quite blinding in there when there is full sun and it’s such a shame as it’s the main sitting area for a house of 6 guests to be together. I personally love the remoteness of the area and if needed the garage up the road is handy for provisions. Locally there are so many beautiful places and beaches to visit that you are spoiled for choice. A visit to Porth Gain for fish and chips is a must!

We have just returned from a lovely week at Temple House and enjoyed every minute . The house itself is on quite a busy road but the noise didn’t bother us . We found that we were a bit isolated as we couldn’t walk from the doorstop with the dog . There is a garage with a shop just up the road & a scruffy looking pub which never looked open . Saying that , there are some lovely places within driving distance to visit , Porthgain being a favourite , the Sloop inn is fab & the walk to the blue lagoon is stunning . The house itself is beautiful with a stunning garden room , we spent a lot of time in there relaxing . The upstairs of the house appears to be quite new , the bedroom is lovely overlooking the sea . The thing that spoilt it for us was the downstairs bedroom , it smelt awful & down the back of the bed was a rancid dog chew & months of dirt , we had to drag the bed out & clean the wall , skirting board & headboard down with disinfectant , not ideal as this should have been checked beforehand , apart from that , we had a lovely stay .
