巴朗戈德後院飯店(The Backyard Balangoda)

Wow! We absolutely love The Backyard. We were running very late and Sumith kept Intouch to ensure we could have dinner when we arrived. The place is an architects dream! Actually it’s Sumith’s dream. He designed it and helped build it from scratch. The main house is brilliant with a lovely bar area and seating. Everything is triangular. The building, the light fittings, even the decor. The chalet is something else. The morning views are to die for as you watch the morning mist roll through the valleys. It is set within his own tea plantation and he has his own brand of tea. Unfortunately we left our bag of tea when we departed, but he happily posted it to our final destination so it can come home with us! There is plenty of parking (we arrived in our hired Tuktuk) and the garden is immaculate. Dinner was super good, needed after a long journey there. Sumith is a super host and really cares about your well-being. We hope to both return someday to this amazing place. Thank you for an amazing stay.
