The house itself is very impressive in the colonial style. The room we had was on the ground floor just inside the entranse. The room itself was large, clean and comfortable. The staff are lovely,very helpful and interested in the birds we were watching in the grounds. I was invited into the kitchen for a demonstration of how to make... More

First of all I have to say: We got what we paid for. We were on a spontaneous trip and couldn't find any other accommodation near Kandy as everything else than Manor House was already booked. We paid around $60 per Double room and I have to say we got value for money. It is a very nice place outside... More

Beautiful historical house converted in hotel in a very nice set up. Rooms are large and clean with nice refurbished bathrooms. Excellent food and very welcoming and caring staff. A great choice though very out of town, needs transportation to get to Kandy.

We stayed 2 nights in Manor House in Kandy. Arrived late and quite tired from Colombo. Owner and staff were very welcoming. You really need a driver as the house is not close to anything. The staff are very nice and the owner was very helpful with organising a driver for our trip to Galle. The food is just average... More

If you like old colonial buildings that have been converted into B&Bs you will enjoy Manor House. Pros - beautiful house, quiet setting, lovely staff, charming interiors. Cons - far from Kandy proper - need a car. Not a lot of people staying here so can feel a little desolate. Rooms and bathrooms are a but dated, but manageable. Overall... More

We spent Christmas at the Manor house. This hotel is a bit out of the way from Kandy but it offers a quiet, peaceful stay. The room was adequate and felt like being at Mom’s house. The food was excellent, they went out of their way to prepare whatever we asked for. The chef made us a nice eastern breakfast... More

The hotel itself is very pleasant - an old colonial house converted into a hotel. The rooms are large and clean. However, the shower and wash basin taps trickle with water. The shampoo bottles were actually diluted with water! Dinner was a catastrophe. We were left waiting for half an hour to be seated. This was followed by another one... More
