The staff at this hotel deserve recognition for their amazing hospitality, kindness and warmth. They looked after us very well in August when we stayed 2 nights. The hotel itself is very beautiful, we loved the big open space in the centre of the hotel and the nice dining areas. Stunning pool and views overlooking jungle. Very peaceful, restful location in heart of nature. Our room was spacious with a beautiful, comfy bed. The food served at the hotel is fantastic and we really enjoyed both breakfast and dinner.

Please ignore all comments being dramatic about the road up to the hotel. It's not that bad. We did it in rental car, no problems.

We spent two weeks in Sri Lanka and this was one of our best accommodations. They tried their best to please us, they welcomed us with a welcome drink and the warmest love. Tourists are courted everywhere in Sri Lanka, but here I 1000% felt like I was treated like a queen. Everyone was welcomed at the hotel by a very nice gentleman (he also prepared our breakfast), he was always smiling and cheerful. During the 3 days we spent here, this loan became OUR HOME. Tbhe view is beautiful, the stars are beautiful. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to unwind and relax, surrounded by unobtrusive kindness.

It is a bit difficult to find/get to the hotel. We arrived in the dark and I was very afraid that the car would get stuck. The next day they took us down the mountain in a jeep.

The hotel is very nice, the swimming pool is awesome and Chamera treated us amazing!!! We really enjoyed the views in the morning and the swim!!!

The only problem is it’s hard to get there, but if you have your own car, it’s possible. However, think it’s not convenient to go and come back from kandy (it’s more than an hour driving) I recommend it it you come By car from the airport or Colombo and you want to stop on your way to kandy.

Very nice location: the view and the pool are amazing. We got picked up free of charge from the bus station. The restaurant also offers dinner (we had rice and curry). Staff is really friendly and arranged a nice evening with music for us. We would come again ☺️.

amazing location, exceptionally great service! My partner had a birthday and the staff went out of their way to get a cake with candles in the middle of the jungle! location is amazing, it’s so peaceful around and you can enjoy the nature around is breathtaking!

The property is a good distance from Kandy so is free from the hustle and bustle of that busy town. It's in an outstanding location with beautiful views across the tea, cinnamon and pepper plantation which is owned by the hotel's proprietor. The staff were charming and helpful in every way.

evrything amazing. staff amazing. rooms great. pool view unbelievable. big recommendation.

road to get there very narrow. consider leaving your car or van on the main road and taking tuk-tuk to the house.

At first we were like: where is the tuktuk guy taking us on this shaky curvy road? Then we were stunned by the views and the warmest welcome we have had on Sri Lanka: the staff greeted us as if we were family. The room was big and clean, with a balcony overlooking the pool and the mountains. Dinner was really tasty and breakfast just over the top. We enjoyed the sunset while swimming in the pool with an amazing mountain view and watched the sunrise from our balcony. Really nice to buy some local spice that’s grown right here at the plantation.

nothing

Chamara was the best host we could have asked for. So friendly and caring, also he is probably one of the best chefs here. We got the perfect dish with lots of fresh veggies. The place is quite and perfect to relax in the mountains. It has a wonderful view and sunset. Chamara showed us the property with tea, cinnamon, pepper, mangos etc. He helped us to get the train at Kandy station. Nothing bad - we are thankful that we found Old Frankland and Chamara!

Exciting scenery. Charming&friendly staff. You feel like at your relative's home full of love and care. Highly recommended to feel moments of tranquility 🌸

It's better to order hotel transfer rather than taxi because of hidden location.
