Sigiriya Water Cottage

Room is big.WiFi is weak. The most unpleasant thing is, list price $90,when I payed by card was$100.24. Though they said the government charge and etc.

What an amazing place! The owners and staff are all wonderful, welcoming, helpful and friendly. The breakfast and dinners are delicious and plentiful. The pool is great, the sun loungers comfortable. The cottage was brilliant, impeccably clean with very comfortable bed. Watching monkeys playing from our private balcony was a treat! It really is an oasis of calm and comfort and the perfect place to stay in Sigiriya. We spent 4 nights using it as a base for day trips to lions rock, Anuradhapura and the surrounding areas. I can’t recommend it more highly!

We booked 3 nights in a Water Cottage. Run by a lovely family who are very helpful and friendly. There is the option to eat dinner here which was handy for us and the menu was tasty with a good variety of dishes. The pool is very clean and has a nice relaxing vibe about it. The water cottages are spacious with nice views and a small balcony to watch the wildlife. We were lucky to see macaques, langurs, a monitor lizard, peacocks and a variety of other bird species.

Great stay. Well kept property and clean rooms. Especially enjoyed the dinner and breakfast provided and the service experienced. 5/5

We really enjoyed our stay here. Ran by a lovely family who are all very helpful and friendly. We stayed in the apartment with pool, a huge room and very clean. It didnt have the views the same as the water cottages though, but suited our needs. We didnt use the pool as others have mentioned its cold and the weather was rainy during our stay. The pool area is lovely - shame the sun wasnt out for us. The food here is amazing, we enjoyed every breakfast and the dinner was delicious and so reasonable… please try it!! You can walk into the main town in the day time but not recommended in the dark. Overall great stay. Thanks so much!!

We had originally booked the villa with private pool, which turned out to be a jacuzzi. Immediately we found the room to be a bit gloomy and it didn’t have a particularly nice view so we asked to move to one of the water cottages, which they did. The water cottages are lovely, great views and small balcony to watch the amazing wild life. Pool area is lovely, but some of the sunbeds could do with replacing. Breakfast was simple, but sufficient, but I think they could offer slightly more options, provide juice and offer more than one cup of coffee or tea. Dinner was ok for the price and there was plenty of it, but there was no choice, you were given what they cooked. There are two restaurants a 5minute walk which offer alternatives. The redeeming feature of the place though is the family who run it, they are absolutely adorable and will go out of their way to help, they arranged all our trips for us. The rest of the staff were also very friendly and helpful, would definitely go back if we are ever in Sri Lanka again

This stay had many advantages. Charming hosts who now provide a very nice Sri Lankan dinner every evening as well as breakfast. All set in an open area where we could recover from the Sigiriya heat by the pool watching a peacock, hornbills and a grazing ox. The accommodation cabin was large but our only concern was that some steps inside were hard to see or remember in the dim lighting at night.

Nice place to stay. Good local food prepared by the womrn of the house. Great clean swimming pool. Big room with fantastic shower and little private swimmingpool with jaccuzzi. We enjoyed after a day climbing Lion Rock and a great safari aranged by the friendly staff!

This was our first stay (3 nights) on our travels round Sri Lanka. We had a lovely setting and privacy in an end lodge overlooking woods and lake beyond. Spotted monkeys in the trees along with peacocks and birds. Lovely pool. Romantic bath and late night swims! Could have done with a clothes line or clothes horse for drying clothes.
