Pedlars Manor

Hidden Gem with Heartfelt Hospitality Our stay at this boutique hotel was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed with flowers and local juice by the in-house team, whose care and attention to detail made us feel truly at home. A special thanks to the manager, Chamath , whose kindness and professionalism set the tone for our entire experience. The food was absolutely delicious—every meal was a highlight. We especially loved the Sri Lankan dishes, which were rich in flavor and prepared with such authenticity. Our kids were equally happy with the Western options like pasta and fish and chips, which were perfect after a day of exploring. The hotel itself is beautifully designed—a secret hideaway that feels like your own private sanctuary. Every corner is thoughtfully curated, blending comfort with style. It’s rare to find a place that balances luxury with such a genuine sense of home. We can’t recommend this secret place enough to anyone looking for a peaceful, private stay with impeccable service and heartfelt care. A true gem—we can’t wait to return.

Beautiful villa with warm, attentive service from Chamath, Kasun, Thushan, and Chef Manu. The space has such a calm vibe—private rooms, air conditioning, spacious bathrooms, and a super aesthetic setting perfect for Instagram shots! The crystal-clear pool was always at the ideal temperature for a refreshing dip. Whether lounging around or enjoying the peaceful surroundings, it felt like a true escape. We loved the Sri Lankan set breakfast on both days—delicious and generously portioned. For dinner, the chef prepared staple items like rice, while we brought our own main curry dishes. The staff were more than happy to accommodate our requests. Manager Chamath and his team made everything effortless, always available and genuinely welcoming. Given the chance, I’ll definitely be back. I’d 100% recommend this spot for anyone looking for a chill, low-key luxury stay with good food and good vibes.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **A perfect getaway!** Our group of 11 friends spent two unforgettable nights at Heenatigala Walawwa, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and cared for. Nothing was ever too much trouble — their warm hospitality truly stood out. The property itself is beautiful and serene, offering a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere that was exactly what we needed. We were lucky to have perfect weather throughout, which made our time there even more special. The highlight was definitely the food — the chef prepared the most delicious Sri Lankan meals, full of authentic flavours and variety. Every meal was a treat, and we looked forward to each one! This was the ideal holiday spot for our group to unwind, laugh, and spend quality time together. We’re already talking about when we can come back. Highly recommended!
