    The host was very attentive to me, a half-blind. Dinner was elaborated local cuisine, which was so nice. Nice to sip a cup of tea overlooking a quiet river from the room terrace. And here birds sing elsewhere.

    The host couple made a huge effort to make our stay comfortable. The food was the best we’ve had in Sri Lanka so far. Good location for sigiriya & dambulla caves - we had a driver.

    Lovely location. Great Sri Lankan breakfast. The fans in the room kept us cool. The staff kindly drove us to The Heritance for a wedding, as tuk tuks were harder to find. We were lucky enough to see a wild elephant!
