We spent two nights at Stone House Lodge. Although the room was very comfortable, and pleasant to sleep in, we felt that we were missing out by being so far from the centre of town. The food was fairly uninspiring (we like a bit of kick to our curries which was distinctly lacking here) and the use of TVP/soya lumps... More

It was difficult to know how much things cost. There was no menu. The prices came as a surprise. We did not meet the owner. We were told the house had been sold. Building work is being carried out, so if you stay in, you cannot spend a quiet morning resting in. We were not told about the building work... More

We were very disappointed. You do not get anywhere near service that matches the... More

The overall place is s nice old stone house, in a remote and 'quiet' district. With a lot of rather old furniture and displays. interesting architecture. Our room was very large. The dust was not cleaned, as for spider webs a bit everywhere in the house. The large bathroom is quite old, yet functional. We were alone for 2 days,... More

We tried out the Stone House Lodge in Kandy run by the remarkable Asoka Ratwatte, Sri Lanka really is as much about the people as the places visited. However, lets start with the place; Stone House is very tasteful in an understated sort of way. It feels deeply calming and has a beautiful garden with a lily pond. For my... More

We found this lovely retreat through Lonely Planet. we were looking for a base in the kandy area for our first trip to Sri lanka and this did not disapoint. We were made to feel especially welcome and enjoyed the quiet attractions of the garden and location with views over the hills and Kandy. The master Bedroom was lovely with... More
