A wonderful hotel overlooking a lake in a rural area. Even though it is a bit off the beaten path, I can strongly recommend it as a base for exploring Sigiriya, Dambulla, Polonaruwa, the Minneriya National Park and surrounding areas. Management is very hospitable, friendly, and helpful with all practical matters or any issues, food is of great quality, and the somewhat secluded setting is poetic and breath-taking. Great value for the money, and a potential highlight of a trip to Sri Lanka.
