Really good Stay, A True Gem!

wonderful drawing room friendly staff magnificent facilities perfect rooms

We arrived and entered a wonderful drawing room and we were encouraged to treat it as our own. The staff were friendly and helpful. Those few days were spoiling! The facilities were magnificent, and the rooms equally so.

The room was quite old, and it was not well kept, especially in certain areas.

The restaurant had a varied menu with local and international dishes, all prepared to a high standard. The breakfast included fresh fruit, pastries, and cooked-to-order items (especially the pancakes!). Dinner service had a relaxed atmosphere.

Very nice Stay at a Beautiful Estate

comfortable journey expert driver immediate arrival

I booked a taxi from Colombo. The journeys were comfortable, safe and very informative thanks to expert drivers. I felt at home immediately upon arrival.

The aggressive payment policies and unfulfilled signature experiences. The linens felt damp throughout my stay. Dehumidifiers would improve the comfort.

Facilities

9/10

The estate offers magnificent walks to burn off some calories (the food is great!). There are multiple bungalows available, each with its unique character. I particularly enjoyed the hikes and tea factory tour.

Service

10/10

The staff ensured all my needs were met. The team was wonderful, and the service was very attentive. Little touches, for example, Nessa was helpful, and chef Gayan described every meal.

Location

The location is fine, offering views of the lake, mountains and tea plantations. This hotel is in a beautiful area. It provides a serene and picturesque escape from the outside world. (I highly recommend visiting!)
