10/10What a stunning place and the photos don't do it justice. Slightly off the beaten track its a house and grounds offering complete peace, but at the same time you are slowly immersed in the wonderful Sri Lankan culture. It was wonderful to get to know Sisira and Indrani. They couldn't do enough to look after us and the food was the best we had in Sri Lanka. Aside from the fantastic beach (the kids could swim in the sea all day unlike the South with its strong currents), I just loved waking up in the morning with the ceiling fan circulating a cool breeze and looking out to sea to watch the fishermen far far away. A holiday of dreams.
