Pioneering the concept of a hospitality enterprise in Kandy, we are a family-run tourist inn with more than 30 years of experience, and are consistently recommend by internationally certified travel guides, including the Lonely Planet, Rough Guide, and several notable French and German works. Mcleod Inn has won the Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence for the last consecutive 5 years. Our premises boast 10 deluxe rooms each with A/C, satellite TV, hot water, free Wifi and a personal work and beverage stand. Located across the Kandy Lake, the Knuckles Mountain range, and the Sacred Temple of the Tooth Relic, we also offer a stunning view of the surrounding lake and mountain range, made accessible by a common lounge and balcony. Greatly appreciated by local and foreign guests alike, we offer both Sri Lankan and continental cuisine for breakfast and dinner. In addition to same-day laundry and transport services, we cater to the avid traveler, being located in the cultural heartland of Kandy at walking proximity to notable venues like the Temple of the Tooth Relic and the Durumadalawa Nature Reserve. Above all, we believe in value-for-money accommodation, catering to all needs.
Starting in the early 1980s, Mcleod Inn has been run within our family with each subsequent generation renovating and updating our services to cater to the present times. Our tourist inn has persevered for decades, keeping both the originality of small scale enterprise and the innovation of the passing times. We hope you have an excellent stay at Mcleod Inn, for family-run hospitality is our passion, through and through!
Located in the cultural heartland of Kandy, we boast walking proximity to several iconic venues including the Temple of the Tooth Relic, the Durumadalawa Nature Reserve, and Kandy’s Archaeological Museum. A shortcut accessible by our property gives you quick and easy access to urban Kandy and all its retail outlets, restaurants and bars. The mild and welcoming Kandyan climate is preferred by guests both foreign and local alike, made all the more enjoyable by an evening coffee in our common balcony overlooking the Kandy Lake, outlined against the golden roof of the Temple of the Tooth Relic and the mountain and forest cover of the countryside.
