Temple House

The entrance hall of Temple House announces itself with plasterwork and cornicing that sets the tone for this four-storey listed property in West Burton village. The ground floor opens into interconnected living spaces: a sitting room with Adam-style fireplace and wood burner, a dining room with its own burner, and a kitchen flowing through to a utility room where everything needed for self-catering is gathered—from the range and dishwasher to a coffee machine. Bi-fold doors lead to a gravelled patio with garden furniture and a barbecue.

Bedrooms are spread across the upper floors. The first floor holds three bedrooms—one with a zip-and-link super kingsize (convertible to two singles), one with a kingsize bed, and a zip-and-link twin—served by two bathrooms with baths and walk-in showers. The ground floor offers a fourth bedroom with a double bed and its own shower room. A second-floor landing has a television and a bathroom with a slipper bath. The house suits families or groups of up to eight; travel cots and highchairs are available. Wi-Fi, heating, electricity, bed linen and towels are included, along with initial logs for the wood burners. Parking is on-site and on the quiet lane outside. Cauldron Falls is nearby. No smoking throughout.
