Oh where to start? Probably by saying that I feel very lucky to have found Kandy Cottage. What a wonderful place and Thomas, what an wonderful host! Tucked away in a quiet corner of woodland 10 minutes walk from Kandy town, Kandy Cottage was such a wonderful find. I chose to stay here because of all the fantastic reviews but... More

We had a fantastic welcome from Thomas to Kandy Cottage - its a lovely peaceful green oasis up a leafy lane a really short distance from central Kandy. We stayed in the family room with our 2 children (age 9 and 6). We were back packing and Thomas was brilliant at organising drivers, tuk tuks etc. he also took us... More

We really enjoyed two nights with Thomas and Mani as our hosts. Thanks especially for the recommendations for accommodation in Ella and Galle. We were most grateful that Thomas purchased our train tickets to Ella and Hatton in advance. Guest house accommodation is the way to experience the real Sri Lanka and meet like minded travellers. Kandy Cottage is in... More

We had some trouble finding Kandy Cottage but the welcome we received made the journey worth while. The rooms were basic but very clean and spacious. Thomas, the 'manager', is such a lovely man. He cooked us a wonderful dinner and then breakfast in the morning. This guest house is off the tourist track but is definitely worth a visit.

Small house with few rooms. Warm, friendly and extremly helpful service. Nice atmosphere – you are living in the hills above Kandy in surrounded by jungle. Perfect cleanliness. Outstandig Sri Lankan dinner. BUT: You have to be clear that you are living a little bit away from town centre (walking distance to Kandy lake – 15-20 minutes) CONCLUSION: One of... More

We did a round trip in Sri Lanka and stayed in several accomodations. They were all good, but we experienced Kandy Cottage as the best. Thomas helped us finding our way in Kandy and provided excellent hospitality. Mani made us some wonderful breakfasts and meals, and we will never forget our train trip from Kandy to Ella, among others thanks... More

We had two excellent nights here, the cottage is simple, Thomas is a wonderful host, the food is wonderful and plentiful, breakfast in the garden overlooking the forest is a lovely experience, masses of birds, monkeys and other wildlife abounds. Walk up behind the house to a small but lovely nature reserve, we were the only visitors in the early... More
