Taylor’s Hill Estate a été bâti à Kandy il y a plus d’un siècle par un fermier britannique et se caractérise par un style architectural original et très plaisant, faisant la part belle aux pierres locales. Le domaine est agrémenté de vastes et luxuriantes pelouses et de jardins remplis de fleurs. Il y a beaucoup de choses à faire dans la région : randonnées, pêche et visites de plantations de thé, par exemple. Taylor’s Estate est fait pour celles et ceux qui sont à la recherche d’un refuge tranquille dans la magnifique campagne encore préservée du Sri Lanka.
Il y a cinq chambres agréablement aménagées dans la propriété et chacune porte un nom différent : Pattiyagama, Loolecondera, Taylor, Le Cocq et Lipton. Elles disposent toutes d’une salle de bains attenante et d’un lit double, sauf Taylor, qui est dotée de lits jumeaux. La plus somptueuse des cinq chambres est la suite Pattiyagama, qui bénéficie d’un coin salon et d’une agréable cheminée.
Le tarif de location de Taylor’s Hill Estate inclut de succulents repas. Un petit-déjeuner composé de trois plats est servi tous les matins, ainsi que le thé de l’après-midi accompagné de quelques gâteux puis un excellent dîner dans la soirée. Pour le déjeuner, les hôtes ont le choix entre découvrir une autre cuisine ou faire appel aux services de la villa. Le domaine bénéficie en outre de bonnes installations pour les loisirs, notamment une piscine à débordement, un court de tennis et de badminton et un jeu de croquet.

10/10I cannot recommend Taylor’s Hill highly enough – without a doubt my favourite hotel I have ever stayed in! I spent two nights there in September 2015 with a friend in the beautiful ‘Taylor’ room. Taylor’s Hill is a beautiful colonial house with immaculate gardens and wonderfully decorated interior – SUCH a nice atmosphere overall. We were very lucky in that we happened to be the only guests in the hotel for the majority of our stay and the service was exceptional – but I don’t doubt that it would have been just as good had the hotel been full! Dawn was lovely – welcoming, and very helpful with her recommendations of things to do during our stay. All of the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. And the FOOD! We couldn’t believe how delicious absolutely everything was! It could rival most London restaurants. Even though we were the only guests there were several choices for each course at every meal and every single thing we ate was spot on. The freshest fruit salads and smoothies, amazing full English breakfast, afternoon tea with homemade cakes and sandwiches, exquisite soups, curries and desserts… the best food we had in the whole of Sri Lanka. Apart from lounging around in the beautiful living room or morning room or gardens, there is also a TV room, snooker table, pool, croquet lawn and badminton net – we mentioned one night that we might play croquet and badminton the next morning and by the time we had finished breakfast outside in the sun they had already got all the equipment out for us! We also did a day trip to an elephant orphanage (a couple of hours’ drive away) and to Kandy. Honestly, this place is faultless. I can't think of a single thing it could improve. I would go back to Sri Lanka just to stay at Taylor’s Hill again. We were so sad to leave - it felt like home after just two days! Thank you for a fabulous stay!!
10/10We loved our night's stay at Taylor's hill, the staff were friendly and attentive, and the food was excellent. The room and location were brilliant too. It was great to get a taste of the lifestyle enjoyed by the colonial classes and later the Sri-Lankan elite. It felt slightly weird to us enjoying what must have been a very bi-polar time in life for those around then!
