    Lovely homestay with Shan and his mother going above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. Very good value for money for a couple of nights, and breakfast was good with choice between Sri Lankan and Western style. We immediately felt welcomed with a cup of tea and were encouraged to make ourselves at home. We were provided with recommendations for activities and restaurants which was very helpful. Shan kindly arranged a driver to take us to the station too at end of our stay.
