Guestbook for The Temple at Stancombe

Bonito and Carelle

A week and a half later and I still recall with excitement our glorious weekend at Nic's Temple! From our arrival and first little mystery of finding the secret hiding place of the keys to the Temple, to the serene lake and dazzling grounds, this was a weekend for the history books. Nic spared no detail in ensuring that all our expectations were met and it's no surprise that my girlfriend swiftly became my fiance that weekend! Magical.

Our experience is best summarised in copying this Trip Advisor review, submitted with honesty and conviction.... 'I hesitate in even beginning to write this review...I have often commented via Trip Advisor on a variety of our international travel experiences with an objective of being informative to future guests and constructively feeding back to owners and proprietors. But, with The Temple, my hesitation is that a part of me wants to retain this retreat of peace and beauty to my own selfish awareness for my future enjoyment, without change or alteration. Perfection..designed for two people in friendship and seeking restorative retreat to an environment of historical beauty and splendour. An unrivaled get-away. The web-site is accurately descriptive and Nic Barlow's photographic portrayal is artistically resplendent but no text nor picture could truly captivate the experience that awaits the discerning visitor to The Temple." Thank you Nic and Jane for allowing us the opportunity of sharing your beautiful home.

We can't decide whether to tell all our friends or be selfish and keep it to ourselves. The most perfect three days with my wonderful new wife! The more we explored the more amazing this place became! A fantastic start to married life - I'm telling no one about this beautiful hideaway.

We've traveled far away from home, to some quite exotic pats - but this little piece of paradise has captured both our hearts.

Second visit! Thank you for a most perfect surprise birthday present, Nic.
the Temple has not lost any of it's magic in 12 months, it truly feels like a very lavish second home now. Can't wait to come back.
