Guests say

Guests are enchanted by the Temple of Diana's unique charm, stunning architecture, and beautiful parkland setting. The accommodation is praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and the special touch of a welcome basket. While some mention minor maintenance issues and the challenge of stairs, the overall experience is highly regarded, with many expressing a desire to return.

The majority of guests report the property as spotlessly clean, with only one review citing cleanliness issues. This suggests an exceptionally high standard of cleanliness that is well maintained.

The location receives high praise for its beauty, tranquility, and wildlife, with guests enjoying the parkland and the estate. The setting appears to be a significant highlight for visitors.

Comfort is frequently mentioned positively, with guests appreciating the cosy yet opulent feel, comfortable beds, and the orangery. A few comments about the property being cold upon arrival and the challenge of stairs slightly affect the score.

Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the well-equipped kitchen and the orangery. However, some guests note minor maintenance needs and issues with kitchen equipment, which slightly lowers the score.

While guests appreciate the welcome basket, there are not enough references to other thoughtful gestures to accurately score this category. It should be noted that such gifts are a bonus and not guaranteed.

About this property

The Temple of Diana, built in the 1760’s for Sir Henry Bridgeman, is located within 1,000 acres of ‘Capability’ Brown Parkland on the Weston Park Estate. The Temple will sleep six in three double bedrooms, with two being en-suite. The estate benefits from the on-site Granary Brasserie and a children's adventure playground and miniature railway.

The Temple of Diana was built in the 1760’s for Sir Henry Bridgeman and is a masterpiece by the 18th century architect James Paine, which has been beautifully restored into luxury holiday accommodation sleeping six guests. Originally designed as a multi-purpose garden building, the Temple has many intriguing features which can be enjoyed 21st century style. A three-bay glazed Orangery is a wonderful space for relaxing or dining with unbroken views out over the parkland; the circular tea room is now a beautiful sitting room and downstairs the old dairies have been transformed into a modern handmade kitchen with all the mod cons, a large family bathroom with underfloor heating and a rainforest shower plus a comfy snug. The accommodation is set over four floors with a large number of stone, spiral steps. The Temple will sleep six in three double bedrooms, with two being en-suite.

    Amazing place and so comfortable we had a brilliant time Well equipped and warm every luxury was thought of And the estate was so beautiful

  • Confirmed Guest

    Lovely and different place to stay, grounds were amazing. We had a issue with wasps in one of the bedrooms but staff on the state tried to sort it but could not locate the nest so one of the couples were moved to a different accommodation, not ideal but we made it work. We would all stay there again.
