    Beautiful decor and an amazing collection of treasures from adventures around the world. We celebrated our son’s birthday and all the staff went out of their way to give us a memorable time. We had the most tasty cake and festive decorations to make the day special. Thank you for that experience 🙏

    The best place we have stayed during our travels throughout the world. Beautiful and comfortable room with own terrace, nice pool, lovely breakfast and attentive staff. Own part of a beach area with hammocks and beach chairs (the actual beach is not private, but only used by a few). Highly recommended

    Nothing major, but we were in the ‘cave’ twin room - although lots of character the stairs to the mezzanine were steep and floor space a little limited for 2 adults sharing. The restaurant is good but some local Sri Lankan options at breakfast would have been nice, and the option to eat in an evening without pre-booking in the morning. (Understandable given the limited number of guests though).

    Unique, Beautiful property that felt very calm and exclusive despite being conveniently located on the main road. All carefully and artistically designed with wonderful lush gardens, pond, and massage room. The swimming pool is lovely with shady loungers and a proper swimming ‘lane’. Comfortable beds, powerful showers and helpful staff.

    our original room that was a standard room over 2 storeys felt a little cramped and dark (but we were upgraded to a bigger room for an extra fee, that room was amazing).

    great small hotel, originally the home of a police sergeant which has expanded into other buildings of a similar style, set in tropical surroundings, nicely decorated in traditional style, beautiful swimming pool, very quiet and peaceful, felt like you were in your own luxury private villa, friendly staff, perfect for a quiet holiday, short driving distance to turtle beach and jungle beach

    There are not many properties where all points you can give are actually not enough, but the Sergeant House is such a place. We stayed in the 3-Bedroom-Villa with our kids and had a fantastic time. It’s literally impossible to say what we have enjoyed more, the attention given to us by the staff or the amazing property. We are definitely looking forward to repeat this experience again.
