Exceptional service from our host Jeewantha who fed the wood fire at night in the lounge, answered all our questions, made sure we were well fed and very comfortable in this beautiful, timeless get away. Much nicer than staying in the big hotel, we had personalised service and beautiful accommodation. Easy walk into town for amenities and short tuk tuk rides to the hiking starting points. We had a day and a half and took in a stroll through town to see the old buildings of the Police Station and the Post Office before a drink at the Golf Club. The second day, we hiked to Lovers Leap, descended through the Pedro tea workers housing estate towards Gregory’s Lake. Got distracted and headed to Hill Club for tea on the lawn.

Very good location, small walk through the back garden which leads to the main hotel where they serve breakfast and dinner and a nice little bar. We visited in December so very festive and cosy feel. Staff were very friendly and accommodating even made us a packed lunch for our trek.Room and bed were very comfortable. Would highly recommend.

Can be slightly cold in the room and the house. Once the heater is on it gets nice and cosy.

Great host (Sanath) who was very friendly and helpful. Very quiet and comfortable rooms. Sanath lit a fire in the lounge after dinner where we played family cards…very kind and nice.

This is a traditional looking guest house surrounded by nice gardens. Very lovely room and large bathroom. The butler was very attentive and kind.

The location is up on a hill away from town, so not very conveniently located. The room and especially the stone floor bathroom were very cold and damp. The butler had to bring me 2 heaters and two heavy blankets in order for me to warm up enough to sleep. I was very uncomfortable. The WIFI was non-existent despite the butler's efforts to reset the system for me. I tried unsuccessfully for 5 hours to get a WIFI connection so that I could do my work. I had to check out after only one night. I was too frustrated. I was told that breakfast would cost $30, which I did not take. Too expensive!

The room was okay and the bathroom was clean, The beds were comfortable.

The breakfast was served at St Andrews and it was horrible. The staff at St Andrews have a dont care attitude and they dont simply understand or care to understand simple instructions. The hotel is cutting down their costs by serving margarine but labelled this as butter. Baked beans were replaced with chick peas in tomato sauce. Even the sri lankan food were below par. Oatland garden is poorly maintained. The grass is not cut and there is weed all over the place. The place needs a colour wash badly. For the price paid this is overpriced.
