Pros:

Yes, loved the location of the property! Food was very good!

The bathrooms only have a bathtub which wasn’t the most convenient. More boardgames in the Billiards Room would be a nice touch too!

A gem of a place to stay
Pros:

Everything! Amazing staff, beautiful property . Absolutely loved our stay
Highly recommend
(And access was absolutely no problem after the devastating landslides in November 2025 - they’ve done an amazing job at getting everything up and running again - they just need more visitors to come back)

Cons:

Leaving 😉

Pros:

Excellent hotel — small and intimate, with only 8 rooms. It offers a beautiful view where you can truly enjoy peace and quiet. Special thanks to the hotel manager for the warm welcome and for being so helpful. The food was also delicious.

Cons:

A small inconvenience is that there is a bathtub instead of a shower, but it’s a minor detail.

Uno dei pernottamenti da ricordare in Sri Lanka
Pros:

Luogo affascinante nella piantagione di te: casa elegante e camera bellissima affacciata sul prato e con lo sfondo della piantagione; molto buona la cena e anche la colazione; esperienza molto bella: ha un costo, ma vale quello che si spende

Cons:

Nulla

Tolle Unterkunft mit wahnsinnigem Ausblick
Pros:

Wunderschöne Unterkunft in den Teeplantagen. Wir haben ein kostenloses Zimmerupgrade erhalten und waren in einem riesigen Loft untergebracht. Toller Pool und gutes Frühstück. Ein Mitarbeiter hat sich sehr viel Zeit für uns genommen und hat mit uns Tempel und Teeplantagen besucht. Das war klasse, da wir so super viel über die Traditionen und die einheimischen erfahren konnten.

Cons:

Die Anfahrt ist etwas schwierig. Google Maps hat uns zuerst falsch geleitet. Mit dem eigenen Tuktuk ist die Straße eher weniger geeignet. Außerdem hat man gemerkt, dass wir nicht in der Highseason dort waren, da die Anlage an sich noch nicht fertig gerichtet war und das Zimmer war etwas „eingestaubt“. Da wir zu der Zeit die einzigen Gäste waren, fühlten wir uns vom Personal teilweise zu sehr umsorgt. Das Preis-Leidtungsverhältnis hat für uns nicht ganz gepasst.

Rundum toll
Pros:

Das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend und in jeder Situation super hilfsbereit. Der Ausblick ist unschlagbar. Das Lavender House hat außerdem einen gut erhaltenen kolonialen Stil. In naher Umgebung sind diverse Teefabriken, die man besuchen kann. Und direkt vor dem Hotel sind teeplantagen, durch die man toll laufen kann.

Cons:

Die Lage ist etwas abseits, was natürlich auch den Charme ausmacht. Aber dort hin oder weg zu kommen können eine Herausforderung sein.

Amazing stay just lack of hot water which was such a shame.
Pros:

The place is amazing. It’s truly unique in that each room
Is its own little theme. We stayed in the Lavendar suite which had an amazing view from the room and was spacious and very comfortable. The staff - now we’re talking. They went so far above and beyond. It’s what makes the place to be honest despite the facilities. Our butler Ravi was always checking in on us to ensure that we were happy and was so nice taking us on tours to tea plantation and other cities and a unique experience at a Road side cafe.

The chef - wow! You will dine like a king. He is super flexible and will practically make anything you want with enough notice. Truly incredible and probably some of the best food we had on our stay especially the breakfasts.

They put in a honeymoon meal for us which was great.

Cons:

Just one major issue. We had no hot water at least not enough and ended up having to fill the bath with the kettle in the room. This is apparently a long time issue that has not been fixed by the management. This is a super basic need for use of any hotel room that should be immediately fixed or provided a significant discount to the room cost.
