Amazing family stay

Amazing accommodation, and so much better than staying at a large soul less hotel or resort. Old colonial building with a lot of character. Would highly recommend

A heritage gem and a lush haven with infinity pool above the lake in Kandy

We absolutely loved Castle Hill Bungalow, and it was a real highlight of our stay in Sri Lanka. First - the location could not have been better. It is located high on a hill overlooking the lake and Temple of the Tooth, so is walk…
