Shan and his family were so warm and welcoming. My husband and I felt instantly comfortable. They were great with contact, and advice before we arrived, and insisted on meeting us and our taxi driver in the middle of the night to escort and ensure our safe arrival. The room is lovely with the most magical view into the valley and hills. The bed made me feel like a princess. The bathroom was clean and functional and there was always a hot shower if you needed one ( The Sri Lankan climate was encouraging me to have cold showers!!) We devoured the Sri Lankan home cooked breakfast both days, and we were kindly offered dinner during our stay which was equally if not more delicious! Shan and his very knowledgable daughter kindly hosted us to the tooth temple which we had previously not known about. They expertly and very personably toured us around the grounds giving us its history along with their own personal insight with their experiences there. It was simply magical. The only thing I would change is to stay longer!! :)
