Many bugs in room, although with insect net down that did help. Dinner portions very small. Hot water wasn't turned on for us so we had a cold shower the first night

Beautiful position, view, charming old colonial homestead. We had the place to ourselves, lovely host

Very little - staff were friendly but could have had more information available such as good hikes in the area

Beautiful hotel, with stunning views of the hills around. The perfect place to relax on a journey around Sri Lanka

This is not a criticism, just an observation - Internet connection/WiFi was quite slow!

Accommodation is of a very high standard. Interior decoration is tasteful and pleasing. Garden is beautifully landscaped and well maintained. Staff are polite and accommodating. Peaceful location with a beautiful mountain view.

The boiler for the warm water in our room had some problems, the hot temperature lasted only short time.

The hotel is in the middle of the tea plantation with an incredible view. The staff is super kind and always available for any requests. The amenities are gorgeous and refined in all details, surrounded by a very well maintained garden. Dinner available (but you need to reserve) and breakfast was excellent. There’s also a lovely swing for instagram photos :) Would love to return!

The only draw back is the entrance porch you drive into. It isn’t exactly what you would expect, but once you walk up to the bungalow the beauty is all there. A very plush and homely place.

The place is as beautiful as the pictures. Easy to find if you use google maps. The sitting area, the room and the bathroom, the place is tastefully furnished, befitting a place of this status. A cosy fire place, the comforts of a hotel in a bungalow. The food was good. The staff were friendly and was eager to make our stay memorable. A special mention of the roasted carrot soup and the Sri Lankan dinner. Weather was lovely and the walk we did on a path way through tea bushes, by the side of the bungalow was adventurous. We enjoyed the late evening and the early morning walks.

That we had to move on...

Everything! The location, the property and the view are amazing. The owner and the staff are both very polite, helpful and friendly. They let us take a closer look to their bee hives when we requested it and did everything to get to us something that we forgot at our room on our next destination. The touch of quality on everything they do and offer is evident

Wi fi did not work propperly. Dinner plates lack a little of quantity. They only sell wine but the price high. They dont offer beer. Would be nice if there are more charging points in the rooms. Bear in mind that this is a country house, so its far from towns and transportation is difficult through apps unless you want to pay extra amounts.

The location. The environment. The beautiful garden.The peace. The excellent service from Tisara who was in charge.

Staff was very attentive. Nice large room, very large bathroom, hot water had the best pressure we got in 14 different places in Sri Lanka. Comfy bed. Very good value for money.

Internet was not good and hot shower gets cold after a while, that seems a problem in Sri Lanka in general.

The lounge and garden were so so pretty! Friendly staff and nice deco! Very clean and the bed is so comfy, the best I had in Sri Lanka trip.

Beautiful place with a very nice view in the mountains. The room was spotlessly clean and the bed was very comfy. The breakfast was delicious and the dinner was cooked just for as we were the only guests.

Marvelous place! The manor is set in a picturesque countryside and you have amazing views on the green mountains from your room and the garden. The rooms and the garden are beautifully decorated, fresh flowers and herbs are used for internal decoration. The facilities are good. The staff was very welcoming and helpful and arranged us a last minute dinner, which was delicious and inexpensive. We had Sri Lankan dishes for both dinner and breakfast and we were very happy with it! We wish we could stay longer, rocking in that lovely swing, enjoying the nature and some nicely brewed tea.

we spent an amazing weekend at this place. The staff prepared a very nice room for us with decorations and fruits in honor of our honeymoon. The atmosphere in this place is amazing! Very beautiful estate with magnificent stylish renovation and interior. The chef is very cool, all the dishes were incredibly tasty. We wholeheartedly recommend this wonderful place!

The location is a bit isolated and not close to any interest point and restaurants. The rooms aren't private and there was no fan / AC.

The staff were very hospitable, the views were beautiful.

Looking forward to a ‘private chef’ food was very average and European. We were surprised that one evening our fellow Sri Lankan guests were given a Sri Lankan curry which we weren’t even offered. Whilst our room was very comfortable and well equipped, 2 broken lights gave the impression that maintenance needs to be prioritised.

Great location, gorgeous gardens

There is a villa with 4 bedrooms and the owner accept reservation for 8 bedrooms. Via booking .com we reserve a villa wiht 5 bedrooms and two extra bedrooms. Teoreticaly 7 bedrooms. 1200usd , breakfast, etc.. When we get there , the lady owner tryed to explain me that is a confusion from booking.com bla bla .. and she only have 5 bedrooms in total . 4 in the villa and one separate in the garden. Warning ! The way she declare the property in booking.com gives the possibility to book the villa(4 bedrooms) AND each bedroom from this villa again . Practic you can book each bedroom twice and if you are a big group 8-9 rooms are perfect. BUT when you get there you will find jusy 4+ 1 and some patetic explanaition from a lady who do not care about her clients. Booking.com is also advised about this story.

Good location and nice view .
