Small hotel with nice environment and good service attitude. Breakfast can also be ordered according to the menu, and the portions are large enough. The only drawback is that the bath water is too small.

The guests were not used to the tent room, but fortunately they were given a new room the next day. Thank you so much!

A wonderful place, amazing staff and beautiful view. Unfortunately we only stayed one night but it was absolute lovely. We traveled with our two girls, aged 8 and 5, and the family room with a bunk-bed was excellent. The food was also amazing, one of the best hotels we have stayed at. Thank you very much

We absolutely adored our couple of days at this hotel as part of our honeymoon. It’s a stunning location, with infinity pool, beautiful outdoor dining, comfortable/luxurious accommodation and friendly, helpful staff. We found a bottle of wine in our room to congratulate us on our honeymoon, which was lovely. We were asked to select our meal choices so that fresh ingredients could be sourced that day for our meals. Nothing was too much trouble for the team here, and we definitely want to go back!

Firstly I must commend the chef Tyronne who created the most delicious dinner we have had so far in Sri Lanka. The beetroot and apple warm soup was a wonderful start to the 3 course set menu. Our room is exquisite with a balcony overlooking the pool with the valley below. The original home has been gloriously restored and the extension thoughtfully designed to complement the existing residence. If boutique is what you desire, then The Elephant Stables will be just perfect and an experience you will treasure.

Our immediate impression was one of surprise & delight. The property was exactly as we imagined. The location was perfect. The staff greeted us with genuine warmth. Nothing we asked for seemed too much trouble. We selected a meal from the set menu. It was the best meal from a set menu that we have experienced. The room is well appointed and very spacious.

Now this hotel is definitely different..in a totally good way. Limited accommodation, rooms were super! Infinity pool and gardens overlooking Kandy Centre ie high up in the hills. Traffic depending, 10 minute drive to the heart of Kandy. Staff amazing and although the menu is limited the chef produces outstanding meals. Everyone amazingly friendly…like being with a family. All this in an ex colonial house with a lounge filled with older memorabilia and more modern artifacts. It’s great to eat outside in the garden looking out over a panoramic view of the hills around Kandy. Definitely one of our highlight stopovers.

We stayed here as a family of 4 in August as part of our tour of Sri Lanka. After a day of sightseeing including the brilliant Temple of the Tooth Relic we arrived in the dark, and were blown away when we realised we were staying in a colonnial style tent that took glamping to another level. I don’t think I’ve ever seen my kids so wow-ed. The space, the cute four poster beds, the luxury bathroom, and of course the air con! Then the next morning we enjoyed the views out over Kandy as we had breakfast. The location is great being on the edge of the city, and providing a boutique offering. The staff were so helpful and offered that we could have dinner in the room/tent which was lovely after a long day. The food was delicious (the kids are still talking about the chocolate lava cake) and we felt very looked after. Unfortunately we only had one night here and in hindsight we really wish we’d had two days here. We enjoyed the pool the morning we left before taking the train journey down towards Ella, but feel we would have enjoyed more time both in Kandy and at this hotel.
