“This was our second stay at Ashburnham Estate, and once again, it exceeded all expectations. There’s a rare quality to this place—an effortless elegance and warmth that welcomes you the moment you arrive. The landscape is breathtaking, with rolling hills, and quiet, expansive views.
Every detail of the experience feels considered, from the beautifully curated interiors to the gentle rhythm of each day. The food was exceptional, and prepared and served with genuine hospitality.
Ashburnham offers not just a break from the everyday, but a complete shift in pace. The whole fteam is gracious and attentive without ever being intrusive, and their warmth and professionalism enhanced the sense of calm and care.
I travel a lot, and I don’t believe there’s anywhere quite like it, thank you Vish, Daniel and the team! We will return again I’m sure!”
“The Bungalow is situated within a former tea estate and is a place where the modern hospitality meets the colonial charm. The staff is super friendly and is very attentive to the needs of the guests. They are very knowledgeable about the surrounding areas and will provide information about the tourist sites around the area. Wifi is available and the room that we stayed in was very spacious.”
“What a beautiful quest house. It is set away from the busy main road and very peaceful. There is a restaurant, which we did not use, so I can't comment, but there was no noise, apart from some soft music,which was quite nice and chilled.
The room was very clean, with clean bedding and towels.
Staff were very helpful and Friendly. Loved this Lodge. I could have stayed longer just to enjoy the peacefulness.
As we are travelling by bicycle, our bikes were very secure for the night.”
“We only had one night here. Beautiful location. dinner was a delicious classic Sri Lankan meal and breakfast was a great omelette cooked up by the wonderful Ashoka.
The views are spectacular from the top of the hill. Also great view from the pool.
Christo was also very welcoming and made our stay as comfortable as possible. He also took us on a bush walk around the property showing us all the different plants, herbs and fruits.
If you’re lucky like we were you may spot a few wild elephants as well as the roam the hills around the property.”

“Sarath and his wife Deepthi are the most delightful hosts.
We had a wonderful time staying in their beautiful home in the jungle.
We had a steam massage (highly recommended) and Sarath took us for walks around his spice plantation.
It’s a beautiful place to unwind and chill, and you are looked after so well.
Deepthi’s cooking is amazing.
Wish we could have stayed longer!”
