My wife and I stayed for two nights during our honeymoon and it was an incredible few days. The food really was exceptional, the service and attention to detail was above and beyond all expectations. Rooms were spacious and clean and even when the weather wasn’t perfect, we could sit in the comfy drawing room by the fire. Would very much recommend!

This place was absolutely beautiful! From the welcome to the waving goodbye as we left we felt so cared for! They have thought of everything and are so lovely to be around! We had a wonderful time enjoying the property going via tuk tuk to Liptons seat and they took care of it all! I could not ask for a better place to stay! It was so dreamy!

Nothing quite prepares you for the Thotalangala experience! From the moment you sweep up the concealed driveway all your senses go into overdrive - the exquisite gardens, the understated grandeur of the bungalow, the playful monkeys, the position on the side of a valley with the most incredible views right down to the south coast and the reception from the staff. Over the coming days the exceptional food, wonderful local walks through the tea plantations and that incredibly positioned swimming pool served to make Thotalangala our favourite stay in Sri Lanka. Thank you to all the staff who looked after us so well but particularly Manjula and Mainala. You treated us like royalty!

Beautifully designed hotel and rooms, with spectacular gardens and panaramic views of the valley and tea country. Exceptional service from friendly and attentive staff. Fantastic, high quality food menu. Close proximity to tea plantations and places of interest. Would highly recommend this hotel as a place to stay at

Thotalagala was everything we hoped for and more. We had only booked for one night here which was not enough time to enjoy all the experiences that Thotalagala had to offer. The area is so beautiful, the house so inviting and the service so personable that you will never want to leave. There were so many thoughtful touches from the spiced hot chocolate upon arrival to hot water bottles in the beds at turn down service (it can get cold at night in tea country). We just felt very taken care of during our entire stay.

Very private estate. Great and well trained staff. Thank you Samdaruwan and team for excellent two days. With an excellent kitchen and a small but good wine and drinks selection (also in all-inclusive). Stunning view. Wonderful walks in the tea fields. Trip to tea factory.

We’re just leaving after another, even more wonderful family trip to Thotalagala. We thought we couldn’t love this place anymore but it turns out we could. The staff are simply amazing and at every turn they went over and beyond to make sure our every need, before we even knew we wanted anything, was met. Huge thanks to Chamara and the four wonderful butlers, the amazing chefs and the rest of the team. We can’t wait to be back for the next holiday!!

Malshan was simply marvellous, from our first day he made our stay just lovely. He was attentive and realised very quickly our chosen drinks and remembered the next day. Just great. Also must say the whole place is rather wonderful - amazing view. The manager is also very subtle but beautifully helpful if needed. Can recommend the tea factory experience and view from the top. All rather splendid.
