We enjoyed a fantastic three-night stay here at the end of our trip to Sri Lanka. The setting is just perfect and we loved being able to hang by the pool in peace. Would absolutely recommend staying here if you’re going to this part of Sri Lanka. The breakfast was excellent.

Lovely staff, large and comfy room with a functional bathroom and a huge garden with swimming pool. A perfect quiet place to spend the week-end.

The place is beautiful, the garden is huge and the location on the river is so peaceful. The grounds are well maintained including the pool which is clean with four sunbeds around it. Towels for using the pool are also provided. There is secure parking on site. John and his team were excellent hosts and made us feel so at home. John had great knowledge about the local area and has created info packs with maps and restaurants etc. We were able to check out a few hours late as no one was coming into our room that day, this was hugely appreciated as we had a late night flight. The rooms are nicely designed with lots of space and are simple but classy. Mosquito nets are provided. I would highly recommend staying more than one night to fully appreciate this place.

Breakfast was a little basic compared to the fabulousness of the rest of the hotel (toast, butter, jam, plastic cheese and an egg). There were lots of flies around during in breakfast too but I'm not sure if much can really be done about this.

The hosts, the peacefulness, the balcony, the pool, the gardens, the local area etc...
