This hotel was beautiful in every way. Staff were friendly, food was delicious and the property itself was immaculate. Loved the high tea on the lawn with a great selection of teas, which is expected in tea country! If you are looking for a little luxury in Sri Lanka this is the hotel for you! Highly recommend.

Great location - Great food

Pros: Old age charm and the food.
We stayed 2 nights here and thoroughly enjoyed it! The hotel is situated in a very good location - easy to walk to town or the race course where all the local activity occurs. The breakfast is amazing catering for everyone I would imagine. Our room was large and very comfortable. We loved this place.
