We booked to stay at Kandy Cotage after reading rave reviews on tripadvisor. We paid for two nights but left after the first. I guess it depends what you are looking for. The accommodation is basic and rustic, which no doubt appeals to many (including ourselves) but we the Kandy Cottage website description was not wholly consistent with what we... more

We spent 5 nights at the cottage and it is in a great location for the town. Our 7 yr old enjoyed the wildlife and the food. The staff are great and very helpful. If you are a family and want privacy book the whole cottage. The friendly space is great for family of 4 if you don't want to... more

We spent 4 nights at Kandy Cottage (April 2009) and stayed in the "moonlight room". Devika the lovely lady who runs Kandy Cottage made this a wonderful experience. She went out of her way to give amazing service. The evening dinner was FANTASTIC, really delicious home cooked sri Lankan food and such great value- some of the best that we... more

We stayed in Kandy Cottage for 3 nights with our 3 kids. The location is superb for visiting Kandy as it is a 10-min walk to the city centre, yet it also appeas to be in a quiet isolated location. During our stay we rented the entire cottage consisting of 3 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and living / dining area.... more

I stayed at Kandy Cottage for three nights. It's a wonderful place to stay - it's close to the centre of the town but in a lovely forest setting. The rooms are clean and rustic, the food is authentic home cooking and Devika, the Manager, is very welcoming. more

We stayed at some amazing hotels during our stay, but our time at Kandy Cottage was one of the true highlights of our trip. As many have mentioned before, the house is simply furnished, clean and compact. We stayed in the Moonlit room which... more

Our travel style: prefer good bargains and tend to be budget travelers, but not at the expense of cleanliness and comfort. We look for places that are culturally relevant to the location, not cookie-cutter uniformity. Kandy Cottage is a charming homey B&B/guesthouse managed by the delightful Devika. We stayed in the Moonlight room. Simple tasteful furnishings, all the basic necessities,... more

I've been travelling for a year and have stayed in over 100 guesthouses all over Asia. For me Kandy Cottage will stand out as one of the best, and certainly trumps all for the quality of cooking, value for money and relaxed atmosphere. Devika is a wonderful host and I will be sending my friends to stay with her in... more

As long as visitors understand that this is not a hotel, but a local-owned, local-run B&B and accordingly expect more of a home, they will be more than satisfied. The place itself is basic; there are three bedrooms, two have attached bathrooms and one is suitable for a family travelling with young kids. The furnishing is basic but comfortable. There... more
