By far, the best feature of the property were the views from the chalets. We had the good fortune of staying in Chalet 6, which I believe was the quietest and had THE BEST VIEW. The changing sunlight throughout the day provided a constantly evolving backdrop for relaxing on our generous blacony. Food met our expectations with a good variety of local and western options. The included breakfasts were generous and really delicious - esp the Sri Lankan options (ALWAYS opt for the Sri Lankan breakfast) The weather was great which allowed us to take out meals outdoors or indoors. The outdoors views, were again, amazing. Our butler, Yoga, was attentive and eager to ensure our comfort. The entire staff was helpful and friendly.

Small things could be easily improves such as reading lights for both sides of the bed. Important to highlight that alcohol was not on the menu - however, our butler was able to send someone to town (we visited during the Poya holiday in which alcohol was not available). For the price and as a destination holiday, we would have hoped that some of the activities on the property would have been included in the rate (kayaks & bikes).

Stunning property — there are 6 chalets and 1 family bungalow nestled among a 22-acre tea plantation, a walking path, lots of flowers and trees and right by the Castlereigh Reservoir. My elderly parents and I had a very comfortable 2-night stay in the family bungalow. The staff are friendly! We had several meals on-site during our stay; breakfast and lunch served outdoors with incredible views and dinner served in a cozy dining room. My fave was kayaking on Castlereigh Reservoir — extremely serene and peaceful! Absolutely nothing to complain about, everything was wonderful!

Really beautiful hotel with excellent service and an amazing view. The view from the balcony was the absolute highlight of the stay. The calm and beauty of the tea plantation was great. We had a private butler who did an amazing job. The food was excellent, especially the dinner. There a not much activities to do around, we did kayak which was nice. The bed was really comfortable. The manager was kind and explained a lot about the resort and the tea plugging in the resort, very interesting.

The wifi did not work a lot of the time. I think the price was way to high for the value, great hotel but too pricey.

We had a lovely stay at the Farm Resorts, the view was exceptional, felt like heaven, the hotel staff were very friendly and our butler (Mr. Nadeera) made our stay very comfortable the food at the restaurant was delicious especially the Sri Lankan cuisine The hotel offers great activities and an amazing walking path around the tea farm.

The staff (particularly Raju) we’re excellent and couldn’t do enough for us - the setting was also really lovely overlooking the reservoir.

the reservoir was quite dirty with floating litter and trash all along the bank (not a reflection on Farm Resorts because it’s not only their fault). Besides for kayaking and bike hire the only other thing to do at the property is eat and sleep so it was a bit boring.

Exceptional staff, efficient service, breath taking view, mouth watering food. My husband and I visited the farm resort for 2 nights and were met by Raju who saw to our every needs including helping me set up a beautiful candle lit dinner and a surprise birthday cake for my husband's birthday. Can't thank the staff enough for such an amazing experience ❤️❤️ The food is to die for. My favourite was the rice and curries along with the spicy buffalo chicken wings 😋😋 For leisure we took part in the Kayaking experience. 100% recommend to anyone looking for serene experience with a bit of morning exercise 🚣‍♀️🚣‍♀️ Most definitely hoping to visit again. Thank you to all the staff at the farm resort.

location is great (if you come for the lake bear in mind that during dry season it looks completely different form the photos). staff is super welcoming and kind. very good food quality and broad choice. kayaking was fun.

sadly the price we paid isn’t proportional to the quality. we spent way less for other comparable places in the country. I think that to keep the current night rate, the place really need to invest in a more modern room decor and new furniture for the whole complex.

Everything was great! Amazing views and landscapes, beauty of the lake and tea fields, quietness and fresh air, excellent service. We had bungalow with lake view. It was very comfortable and cosy, every detail has been carefully thought out, including umbrellas and delicious tea and coffee. The meal was very good although not cheap. It’s one of the best hotels I have been to.

A small minus is that the restaurant works for breakfast and then opens for dinner at 6.30 pm. Just keep it in mind.

Fantastic scenic location right on the lake, spacious bungalow, incredible quality of service, and delicious food. The tea plantation tour was absolutely incredible, and our fantastic bulter Ravi helped us with every need, including a unique experience to the waterfalls.

The views are spectacular and the staff are so kind, efficient and attentive. Raj in particular was excellent! We loved how quiet it was here and the food was also very good. It is not a 5 star hotel but if you’re looking for clean, comfortable, private and personal then this is the place.

Nothing - we loved everything.
