Cannot put into words how magical this place is. Nic goes above and beyond to ensure you have a comfortable magical experience. He is on hand if you need anything and reachable we contacted him via email and he came straight back to you however he stays away to allow you to enjoy the wonderful private experience that the Temple offers. The Gardens are closed to allow you to enjoy them in complete privacy which was the big attraction for us, we stayed 2 nights and did not see another person as we wondered around the breathtaking gardens taking in the sheer size of the place! Nic told us that we had 20 acres to ourselves to explore so as you can imagine we done a lot of walking and exploring. Nic provided lots of history and insight to the place and made sure we had everything we needed from the essentials to luxuries like champagne, wine, spirits, chocolates and snacks, he even gave us a lift to the station on check out day. We cannot recommend this experience enough, since we left we have constantly talked about it and already want to return in the future. Pictures online do not show you just how beautiful this place is you have to see it and experience it for yourself. We got incredibly lucky with stunning weather for the 2 days we stayed there so we recommend staying during the summer time. Inside the temple we enjoyed the stunning views each morning over the lake where you could enjoy watching the wildlife. (we spotted some baby moorhen babies which was adorable and we got very excited.) Nic includes a guest book so that you can document your time there which is a nice touch and you can read other peoples entries going right back to 1991 which I enjoyed laughing and almost crying at some. He also includes postcards which was lovely, I wrote a few and mailed them to my family from the temple. We are already excited for our second visit.
