Guests are enchanted by the Temple of Diana's stunning architecture, beautiful parkland setting, and tastefully furnished interiors. The unique charm and the opportunity to explore the estate's grounds contribute to a memorable experience. The orangery is frequently highlighted as a standout feature. While some guests mention minor issues, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing a desire to return.
Most guests found the property spotlessly clean with fresh bedding and towels, contributing to a comfortable stay. However, one review mentioned cleanliness issues, including the presence of frogs and silverfish, which slightly lowers the score.
The location is consistently praised for its beauty, tranquillity, and the ability to explore the surrounding parkland. Guests appreciate the secluded feel and the estate's wildlife, enhancing the overall experience.
The property is described as very comfortable, with huge beds and well-equipped spaces. The orangery is a favourite spot for relaxation. Some guests noted the challenge of spiral staircases, but this did not significantly detract from the comfort score.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable living areas. However, some guests noted the need for maintenance and the inconvenience of the building's layout. The presence of a triathlon event also caused some disruption for a guest.

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. The estate benefits from the on-site Granary Brasserie and a children's adventure playground and miniature railway.
