The property overlooks the Kandy Lake and the entire city. It's a beautiful 120 year old cottage with a stunning lawns surrounding it. It's quite close to the city center, but away from the histle bustle. The most alluring aspect however is the service. Sisila was our host and he was absolutely wonderful. Would recommend this to anyone who is looking to stay in Kandy.
The staff were excellent especially Donanajaya and breakfast was really good I recommend the traditional breakfast
The rooms were in need of some renovation work and they need to buy new towels.
The property is like a dream. Amazing big house, you feel like royalty. The garden is even more amazing. Unfortanutely the weather was little cold so I didnt try the swimming pool but it looked spacious with an amazing view for the city. The property is managed by 4 young guys who do everything for you, and they make the most delicious breakfast ever.

Posizione incantevole con vista lago e Tempio della Reliquia del Dente di Buddha distante solo 10-15’ a piedi. Stile coloniale. Ottima colazione. Perfetto per Esala Perahera
Le chiavi per chiudere appartamento sono un po’ vecchie e il meccanismo di chiusura non è agevole.
The property is gorgeous- its a beautiful heritage bungalow set amidst stunning gardens. The view from the garden is magnificent- you can see Kandy lake and parts of the city from an elevation and yet you are so close to the city. That was a huge plus. The two very hardworking boys in the bungalow were really helpful and attentive- it was clear that they were holding up the entire show. We had all our meals here and they were of exquisite quality!! They serve lovely curries and cutlets- not on the menu but please ask! You wont regret it! The personal touch felt wonderful and we truly enjoyed meeting other guests at the dinner table - it was unlike any hotel stay- we really loved bumping into strangers and then making friends- an informal set up you wouldn’t encounter in a hotel stay. The garden and landscaping is absolutely gorgeous. When the lights come on in the evening, the place looks like a magical mystery escape.
While the property itself is stunning, some basic upkeep is badly needed. We had a broken window from where bugs , lizards could easily get in, we plugged it with a rolled up towel and hoped for the best.
Quality of toiletries was bad and synthetic smelling. There was no shampoo and no lotion. The door lock was broken and fixed with a screw that stuck out which was a safety hazard. Lights in places in the room and toilets didn’t work. There was a musty smell in the rooms. Floors weren’t clean, our feet became very dirty- there were no slippers or robes in the rooms. The bathroom glass was dangerously shakey. The house water seemed cloudy- had to ask for bottled water which was also charged, unlike anywhere else in Sri Lanka.
The management needs to pay attention. The property is too beautiful for this wasted potential. The price paid for the rooms should be enough to support this level of basic refurbishment. If you can look away from some of this, the overall feeling of this place is magical.
I loved this place. The house is beautiful. Very spacious and comfortable room. The food was great. The gardens and view are very nice. The staff was the best!!!! Friendly, professional, helpful. Really wonderful staff. Great wifi in my room.
I liked everything.
L’accueil et le service exceptionnel.
La vue
Nous avions une chambre pour 3 personnes. Le lit double était parfait mais le lit simple inconfortable. Notre chambre donnait sur l’accueil/pièce principale avec une très mauvais isolation sonore. Nous entendions donc tout. Impossible de faire une grasse matinée. Cet hôtel manque un peu de chaleur et coin cosy pour dîner. Je trouve qu’il n’est pas à la hauteur du prix demandé (si on se réfère à l’offre locale bien sûr).
Everything exceptional charming space
Upon arrival, we were absolutely in awe of the stunning gardens and old world British colonial hotel. We felt like we had stepped back in time. Our room was delightful with a 4 posted large very comfortable bed and doors opening out onto the garden. Our breakfast was delicious with fresh fruit and a cooked breakfast or traditional Sri Lankan breakfast.
What we treasured the most however was how caring and thoughtful the staff were. We would like to make special mention of Dananjaya who looked after our every need, getting ice and slicing up limes for our Gin & Tonics and even setting up an outside table for breakfast on our last morning. I would go as far to say this has been one of the best places we have stayed in Sri Lanka.
Thank you again Dananjaya 🙏
The suite was beautiful. A wonderful house and a wonderful garden, very calm and exquisite staff. Excellent breakfast. Only a few minutes drive from the main temple. I highly recommend.
The pictures are the same for almost all rooms, whereas in reality they are very different (size, space, amenities), I had the suite with the armchairs which is huge and beautiful ! But there is only 1 such room at the hotel. Thanks.
Beautiful property with fantastic views in a quiet location but close to lake.
Shower was not always working, either too cold or no water but they did fix it. Air conditioning unit dripping all night long.
Luogo di incredibile bellezza e buon gusto. C’è un immenso giardino tropicale, la villa è elegantissima e piena di cose belle. Ci hanno fatto l’upgrade e la stanza era molto lussuosa.

Questa struttura è un sogno! Intrisa di fascino, ti offre un servizio di alto livello grazie all'accoglienza di Dananjaya, Chamidu & Dilsha. È una villa antica, conservata benissimo, arredata con mobili d'epoca e ti regala una bellissima vista su Kandy ed il suo lago. Consigliatissima!
Nulla! Tutto perfetto!
