The property is very charming. It is a colonial bungalow with a big lawn. Rooms are quite big with big washrooms. The feel of the place takes you back in time. It was one of our best stays in Sri Lanka in the hilly region.

A period (colonial) bungalow set in a lovely garden- for cream teas - in a quiet location with instant hot water & solid WiFi. Add hot water bottles & good food. Thank you Bernard.

It’s a beautiful property in a peaceful environment, only a short walk away from the centre (maybe 10-15’). Bernard and the rest of the staff were amazing
