Cottages in Piliyandala

It’s a nature friendly location and a very convenient. Amazing place to stay at, friendly staff and customized service. Absolutely love the live-with-nature theme going on about the place. Great family room, Felt like our own villa! The host is super nice too.

Nice location, many eating joints nearby. comfortable rooms, we took the master bedroom with attached bathroom, the other two rooms have a shared bathroom. the Hosts do not live at premises and also they do not give any other rooms to any other guests as policy so we had the whole place to ourselves, which was surprising. Owner is a doctor and he just wanted us to have a relaxing time, i think it is great value for this price.

Staying at Cottage by the Lake in Thalawathugoda was truly the best experience of my lifetime! The rooms were impeccably clean and well-maintained, offering the perfect level of comfort. The serene surroundings and picturesque views make it an ideal retreat for nature lovers It's like stepping into a little paradise. The owner is an absolute gem. So kind, warm, and accommodating, which made our stay even more delightful. I cannot recommend this place enough. If you're looking for a peaceful getaway close to nature with exceptional hospitality, this is the place to be!

Location: The location is really good and accessible. It is only 3-4 buildings away from Mt. Lavinia Beach, meaning you can just walk back to the hotel for bathing after the beach. There are quite a few restaurants on either side (regular ones on the main road ~200m away and shacks on the beach side). For added security, the compound features a large gate with an auto-lock system ( guests hold a key), which I thought was neat. Rooms: The rooms are exactly as advertised. The compound features three villa-style rooms situated within a quiet, peaceful, and well-curated lawn. The room was extremely clean, well-maintained, and spacious with a central bed, a writing table near the window, and a few side tables. Each room also had its own sitting area with chairs and a cloth-drying rack just outside. The bathroom and bath towels were also quite clean, with hot water available throughout the day. Service: The service was exceptional. Both the host Janitha and the hotel caretaker Gunaseelan are courteous and friendly people. Before check-in, Janitha tracked my arrival and ensured that things were in order when I arrived. Gunaseelan, the caretaker, is also quite friendly and generally made me feel welcome: helping me with timely breakfast, an umbrella during rain, restaurant pointers etc. Although the booking description states that breakfast is not included, I received a generous free breakfast with a wide spread on both days (orange juice, tea/coffee, fruits along with bread or a local dish like string hoppers). I even received a complimentary surprise drink in the afternoon. Overall, if you are going to Mt. Lavinia for a quiet getaway, this is definitely The place to go. I found it to be awesome!

I recommend this location to everyone, the structure lacks nothing, the staff was really friendly, clean rooms, comfortable bed. Air conditioning, washing machine, iron, and a place to hang out the laundry, in the garden very convenient. We thank you for everything What the owners have made available to us.. Thank you,
