10/10Great place! We ended our two weeks tour in Sri Lanka at the cottage to relax near the beach and it was perfect! It is a lovely place only few minutes far from the beach! We enjoyed the pool and the fantastic Sri Lankan food prepared by the cook. The food prepared by the lady was the best we had though we were in nice hotels & restaurants before... So highly recommend the place!
10/10Lovely house in Bentota, you really feel as though you're staying in the middle of nowhere, although a few minutes in a Tuk Tuk will have you at the beach or town fast. Facilities are good, well maintained. The double bed in the master suite is very comfortable as we prefer a firmer bed. Beautiful beaches are 5 minute tuk tuk drive away, Galle well worth a trip just over an hour away or 50 minutes on 'fast' train. Ben the host was very helpful. Kamini was excellent and could not have been more helpful.
