The space was simple, brand new, cozy, and beautifully designed, it felt very cozy from the moment we arrived. The food from the in-house restaurant was incredible, full of flavour and made with so much care. What truly stood out was how warmly we were welcomed. Our immediate family had planned this trip after such a long time apart, and Croft Cottage gave us the perfect setting to reconnect. It wasn’t just a holiday, it was a heartfelt experience shared with loved ones. There’s truly no better way to spend quality time together. Highly recommended!

The location is nice, though a bit far from the center; however, it is very peaceful, with no noise or disturbances. Highly recommended for travelers who appreciate peace of mind. The cottage’s design is also very charming

We had an amazing stay! The location, the owners and the room itself were great. We had the Sri Lankan breakfast in the morning and loved it. Also the owners were really helpful. They made sure that not only the place where you stayed was great, but also that you got to visit every place where you wanted to go.

Moran and his family were very lovely. It was just like being at home, with shared kitchen and dining facilities. Comfy bed and nice hot shower. They even went out to get us our takeaway dinner and served it up to us.

From

United Kingdom

This is a great place to stay if your traveling between cities and need a place to stop for a night. Its surrounded by tea plantations and a waterfall so plenty to see in the surrounding areas too. The owners were so lovely and fed us well. The room is probably the nicest one we've stayed in during our sri lanka trip. The views are amazing!

From

Switzerland

Dambika the lady owner was very kind and helpful. The villa is very private, spacious with a living room, two-bedrooms, shower and basic kitchen and a small garden space. Everything was very clean. It was quite cold in the night but there are many extra blankets available. Parking space at the front of the house. All in all recommended if you have transportation or Pick Me and want to be out of the main town area.

Italy

This place was so cosy, it has a fireplace in the bedroom and it was so nice to have it lit at night. There’s also a living living area where I was able to work from (although the internet worked well only for the first day, I was able to hotspot from my phone). There’s a tv you can access YouTube on. Really nice shower with hot water. Cool location at the top of a misty hill, although we did have our own transport which helped. Lovely helpful owners.
