But the manager wasn't really welcoming at first. Then it was a bit better. Do not eat there. Food is not exceptional and Very expensive. We had 3 small balls 1 with... More

Our tour agent had booked this place for us, as it is a convenient base for exploring Sigiriya. It is slightly off the main road, and in a large garden with the cottages clustered around a central dining area. It can get pretty dark here, and I would definitely recommend a torch when you are here. We immediately felt the... More

Each time I go to Sigiriya (4 times already), I stay at this superbly cosy cottage. The Sri Lankan owner is the nicest person I have ever met in the world and he speaks French, which is quite unusual in this country. He will be very helpful to find you a good guide for Sigiriya Rock, since he used to... More

We stayed for 3 nights in March 2013. Our stay here was booked through our travel agent Michelle Tours (also highly recommendable) and we were not disappointed: This is a great place in a beautiful garden setting. The room with AC was spacious and nicely decorated. Only minor point would be the bathroom, which, although clean, could use some updating.... More

This was recommended to us but I think in the years since my friend had visited there had not been much refurbishment and the bathroom needed updating and the soft furnishings replacing (in particular the pillows looked well used). However, the food was good and plenty of it and while the garden was very pleasant, it was raining most of... More

Do not miss this little haven. If you like us are travelling on a budget and want the real Sri Lanka you have to stay. Our family loved the peace and jungle sounds. The beds were spotless, linen like new, the rooms bright and airy and the service impeccable. The open air restaurant is amazing at night and the food... More

We stayed 5 nights here because we wanted to treat ourselves with a place to truly relax in between everything there is to see in this part of Sri Lanka. And we are very very glad to have stayed here. Our AC room was big with a very high ceiling and had a sunny and private terrace from where it... More

We only spend one night here but thought it was a great little place. Very peaceful and quiet with nice spacious and clean cottages. would like to come back and stay a bit longer to explore the area. The evening meal the owner cooked was good and breakfast was also very good even so I can't quite remember what we... More

We enjoyed a very pleasant three day stay. Rooms are adequate size and the location, in very large walled, tree filled compound, is perfect for birds. It's a short Tuk-Tuk ride to the village (2k) and behind the cottages a trail can be followed to two very large dams (also excellent for birds) where wild elephants bathe at night and... More
