This village hotel is set in well kept grounds which are natural to the local area and gives the feel that you are in a local village albeit the cottages are of a much higher standard than any local might have! It really is a very nice village and is part of the Cinnamon group; I stayed in 4 Cinnamon hotels during my 3 weeks in Sri Lanka and by far this was the best. The restaurant was in a lovely setting by the pool surrounded by trees. Nice gentle and appropriate music in the evening. The rooms were very clean and well maintained. The staff were polite, tried their best and were helpful. There was a hiccup with service on the 2nd day but once the problem was brought to the attention of the manager then the service improved and the issue was taken positively as a “learning exercise” which I thought was a good approach. I’d like to particularly like to mention Bandula, the manager, and two very good waiters, Hasitha and Gimhana.
