揭示的薰衣草之家

We verbleven in het Summer House. Machtige plek. Prachtig zicht. Service door jong personeel met wat gebrek aan ervaring maar zeer correct. Mooi zwembad en zeer lekker gegeten. Europese en lokale gerechten. De wijnkeuze was wel beperkt.

What an excellent experience! We stayed at The Lavender House for 1 night, and wished we could have stayed for longer. You still get the Staffs' undivided attention. The Staff are incredibly professional, friendly and can not do enough to help you. The Chefs were outstanding - the menu caters for Western tastes, however if you ask him to cook locally he can let his colours shine and produce some exceptionally tasty curries and condiments if you can handle the spice. The setting of The Lavender House is in the middle of a tea plantation estate, nestled with a stunning vista gazing straight down the mountainsides. The pictures displayed really are exactly what you can expect to get. As expected accommodation is modern, clean, tidy and full of personal touches. You will be spoil for choices of where you can dine (in your house/private terrace/communal terrace/inside). The history of Lavender House is very interesting, it was built by a Scottish tea plantation owner in the 1800s. There is still a preserved square of wall where guests from 1860 - 1940s would have their hight marked and sign their name as a memento. Simon & Tamara.

AN INCREDIBLE STAY, we didn't want to leave! We stayed in the Plum room and we had the whole grounds to ourself so it pretty much felt like our home and we had free rein to use the house as we wished, we had just got engaged two days prior so this was BLISS!! The grounds are STUNNING! The view, the interiors, the staff, the diversity everything about it was 5*. Special shout out to Saman the hotel manager, Sampath the Chef, Viduna, Thisara, and Prassanna who made the stay EXTRA special, so attentive, kind and warming. The food was incredible and one of the highlights of our stay, was when Sampath and Saman would specifically ask us what we wanted to eat for each meal (not one menu seen during the whole stay which was impressive and added that personalized touch, bespoke feeling!) once we had discussed what we wanted they would organize a 3 course meal for every sitting, we wanted to experience true Sri Lankan cuisine so for the most part our meals were influenced by these flavors and it was incredible to experience such lovely dining. For lunch one day they even allowed us to have a floating lunch in the pool! I could not recommend this location enough. As a creative person I truly see this as a perfect place for a retreat, a place where you can relax, delve in to hobbies and create your own oasis! Its remote location lends it self to creation, contemplation and relaxation without the hustle and bustle. We were grateful to be able to wake up to the view, surrounded by the diversity and great staff! Id like to add that we felt the pictures didn't do the property/grounds justice, also pictures of the villa, which is equally breathtaking just modern is outstanding (we were lucky enough to be able to see the villa and what it had to offer and it was very impressive) just a shame that there isn't any photos of it! (we were shocked to hear that there weren't other guests & that people had cancelled - we could only assume that it was because its an hour away from central Kandy?!?!) Since we had just got engaged we could see its potential in being a wonderful wedding location! We will be visiting again and next time for even longer!
