We choose to stay for 3 days in this hotel at the end of our 3 weeks trip for its relative proximity to the airport. We were pleasantly surprised by everything. The location at the edge of a lake is great, the building is imposing with huge open air common areas. Our bedroom was equally impressive. Food wise, we probably had our best Sri Lankan food there for both breakfast and dinner. The service is excellent, pleasant and efficient. My husband enjoyed a local ride on the hotel bike. We certainly will return on our next visit .

Where to start - excellent staff, lovely room hotel and grounds and fabulous traditional food. Really enjoyed our night after flying in and then starting our tour of Sri Lanka - an excellent hotel for an initial taste of the country and to relax after flights.

My wife and I stayed in this beautiful place for 1 night, on arrival in Sri Lanka. It is close to Negombo and about an hour's drive north, from the airport at Colombo. It is a beautiful building with lovely grounds. Our room was very spacious and comfortable and we were given a very warm welcome. We ate our delicious dinner and breakfast in a covered area in the garden, serenaded by the chorus of crickets and frogs (insects kept at bay by citronella candles). Highly recommended as a first for last night stop when visiting Sri Lanka, and worth staying an extra night if you wish to explore Negombo and the coastline nearby

A friendly welcome from all staff. Comfortable room in a beautiful colonial house with magnificent view. Breakfast excellent, especially the home made ginger jam. Would recommend highly. Lot's of birds & wildlife around. The perfect start to our Sri Lankan holiday.

Fabulous tranquil spot after a long overnight flight from Heathrow. Staff very welcoming and the room was large and cool. We had a Sri Lankan meal overlooking the reservoir accompanied by the sound of birdsong. The Sri Lankan breakfast was a great start to the day (I am sure they are used to English people asking them to hold off on the hottest spices!)

A fabulous start to our holiday in Sri Lanka. Gorgeous hotel with very comfortable room and with fabulous food. We only had one night and would have liked to stay longer. Great introduction to Sri Lankan curry! Very peaceful and a very attractive pool.

Great for a first night after landing in Colombo. Colonial style house with lush garden overlooking a reservoir. Good cuisine and stand-out is the attentiveness of the staff. Rooms have high ceilings and are amply furnished. Bathrooms have a large walk-in shower

We spent the first night of our honeymoon here and absolutely loved it. It was a short drive from the airport and the perfect start to our trip. The only shame was that we couldn’t stay longer. We had a lovely afternoon by the pool and went to visit the local temple before dinner. The rooms were big and with great showers, the food was great but the stand out above all else was the fantastic staff. Couldn’t recommend this hotel more highly!
