    AC would be a great

    We were the only cottage, very private, great location in the jungle watching wildlife. Hosts couldn’t do anymore for us, gave us a ride to viewpoint, sorted our guide and jeep for safari. Moms cooking on our terrace was fab too 👍

    We stayed at Milk House Cottage for one night and can highly recommend it. The owner is very welcoming and leaves nothing to be desired. We had an outstanding dinner in the jungle and a great breakfast as well. We went on a safari early in the morning and the owner got even earlier to make sure everything went smoothly, that we found our way in the dark and didn't oversleep. We will definitely come back the next time we travel Sri Lanka.

    There is no hot water, but after hot day you just dream to have a refreshing shower. I even manage to wash my hair with no problem. There is no AC but there is a ventilator which helps.

    Let me tell you this: I felt like a queen in a paradise. I was traveling as a single female and my concern was security. I felt absolutely secure since I've met Isuru - lovely young host with his wife and kid. These place is a GEM in Sri Lanka if you are looking for a peaceful place far from crowd surrounded by nature. I was very looked after, breakfast and dinner was delicious freshly prepared by the family. Isuru has a Tuk Tuk so he can help you arrange any travel you need for reasonable price. He also helped me with safari tour (I had the best guide with knowledge) and with the buses, he gave me a lift and stopped the fast bus for me and told a driver where to let me go. His hospitality and kindness was above expectations and that's why I gave a review 10 out of 10. Who cares about decorations inside the cottage when you just want to be outside admiring birds, plants, nature surroundings, etc... and come back to the cottage for a sleep. You have kettle with bottle of water, tea, coffee with cream and sugar there too. There is moscito net in good condition too. But the greatest: you have a cottage for yourself and you the only guest. There is no more cottages so the privacy is immaculate. There is a space for 2 :-D Originally I have a booking for 1 night, but I've extended since I've realised it's a paradise on earth for me. Cleanness 10/10 !!!

    Nothing!

    This was a fabulous spot!! The owner was a truly delightful guy, nothing was too much trouble at all and he was very kind and accommodating. They made me a special dinner for being gluten free which was lovely and he got up very early to make breakfast for us to take on our Safari!! Was a cute place to stay, room was all you needed with lovely private terrace at the back. A nice quiet spot out the way but conveniently located for Udawalawe national park. Would definitely recommend!

    Beautiful peaceful nature cottage!

    This was a lovely place in a very quiet location next to paddy fields and a gorgeous forest and garden often visited by peacocks, which was truly special. Had my morning coffee observing the wildlife! The cottage is comfortable and the host Izuru is so helpful and kind. He organised a perfect well-priced safari for me with a guide who was very respectful of the animals and took me on the less crowded roads in Udawalawe park, which is what I had asked for. I stayed for two nights so I also had time to explore and walk to the neighbouring village, which was lovely. The hosts cooked great food for both breakfast and dinner and I got to try helapa for the first time too! I loved it there and I highly recommend a stay if you're looking for a peaceful and welcoming location!

    Absolutely amazing! Wehere shell we start? First thing was a verry lovely welcome and he told us to park our Tucktuck under a roof, for it might rain. He offered to organise us a Safari for a really fair price. It was nor a problem that we spontaneously decided to have dinner there. Dinner and breakfast were just amazing! I would go so fare and say it is the best food we had in Sri Lanka so far. His wife and mother are great cooks! We enjoyed the food on our terrace with a awesome view! We were able to see all kind of beautiful birds. It is very quiet and you have a lot of privacy! It is obvious that he has a lot of experience with the hotel industry, everything was just perfect, the room was so clean and everything was taken care of. You probably think this sounds too nice, but truely, come and see yourself, just don't make the mistake we made and only book one night ;) Thanks for such a great stay, Steffi & Simon

    The cottage is really nice and quiet, if you're looking to escape the chaos and feel secluded this is it! We would recommend this to anyone. I don't care what anyone says, this is the best curry in sri lanka (homemade by his wife).

    We had the best stay at this lovely cottage in the wild Sri Lankan nature. A really nice cottage in the wild with the loveliest hosts. We really liked reconnecting to nature. The bed was great and the food (breakfast, curry) even better. To top it off Isuru booked us a really nice safari (with pick up at the cottage) and we saw a lot of wild animals Would definately recommend this stay!!

    Very nice cottage very close to the national park. Isuru organized everything for us, the pick up, loads of food (that is served at your own balcony) and especially a really nice safari early in the morning with an amazing tour guide. The cottage is really cute, in the middle of the jungle. Would 100% recommend it!

    Everything was better

    My boyfriend and I stayed here one night, and went for safari the next morning. The host organized everything for us! Very easy. We got served amazing Sri Lanka dinner, and the dinner and breakfast was 10/10. It was such a lovely stay, and the host was super, very kind and gave us the best service. It is super quiet, relaxing and at night we could see fireflies and hundreds of stars. We have stayed at many places around Sri Lanka but this is one of the best!
