We were backpacking in Sri Lanka April with 2 children (aged 9 and 6). We spent our first 2 nights in the Hotel Sri Lancashire. It was a perfect restful start. We were collected at the airport by the a/c van and welcomed on our arrival with fresh juice in coconuts and fresh flower garlands for us all. Our family... More

I visited twice in Feb and March. I only planned to visit once but liked it so much I returned later. I was fortunate that the owners were present when I was there. They were totally committed to their guests to the extent that I felt like a friend rather than a guest. Then it got better! The staff were... More

I definitely recommend staying here. A few friends and I stayed here for 3 Nights this April. The location on the river is beautiful and the rooms have such nice little touches, especially recommend a river view room. Just a 15 minute walk from the beach. But I think the best thing about my trip to Bentota, were the people... More

Best welcome to any guest house we have ever had, picked up from the train station and on arrival fresh flower necklaces, juice and then a room with gorgeous fresh flowers and towels in the shape of a turtle. So close to the beach, we walked there for the day. The afternoon was spent on the loungers back at the... More

My boyfriend and I stayed for 4 days at Sri Lancashire Guest House and were simply dazzled from the beginning. We were warmly welcomed with a fresh coconut drink and flower lei necklaces. We stayed in the Jasmine Room which was lovely and adorned with fresh flowers each day. The staff were all so friendly, professional and helped us organise... More

The room was fine, nothing amazing, we were put in the back room which backs onto the road (which is pretty quiet). The rest of the guesthouse was... More

Spent 9 days here at the start of our holiday, and I can only describe it as wonderful. We received a lovely welcome from Wasantha, Nishanti and Chaminder, and as we arrived late because of a delayed flight, Wasantha went out and fetched us a takeaway meal from the nearby Golden Grill restaurant, which Nishanti served on the terrace. You... More

Trying to find Brief Gardens by train and bus took me to Bentota where i ended up lost. Not a good end to a day until i saw the sign for Sri-Lancashire after getting off the bus at a random stop in Bentota. Fate was my friend on that day !!! Being a Lancashire lass i decided to follow my... More
