Great hotel and service
This hotel is slightly out of Kandy, 10 minute Tuk Tuk from the station up a hill. This is what makes it so great, it’s quiet and when you have the fabulous breakfast on the patio the view is amazing. Fonseca and his assistant make this place. Small things like a SL mobile to call Fonseca or a really reliable Tuk Tuk when you’re out, one night Fonseca cooked us a curry meal to eat on the veranda and when we spent a couple of days chilling they bought us out a pot of tea and biscuits to eat on our rooms patio. Brilliant place and brilliant service.

The hotel is quite difficult to reach due to the narrow and steep roads. However, the hotel is quite pleasant and the manager upgraded us to a larger room the second night.

Sadly, we only stayed one night as we were travelling across from Colombo to the East Coast. We had two rooms, one for the children and one for us. We ended up giving the better and bigger room to the children as they needed the space. They were upstairs and we were next to reception but there was no noise to bother us. The atmosphere was very relaxed and the children and us trotted between rooms in our pyjamas to say Goodnight! Felt very safe despite us being separated. Both rooms were very comfortable. Our host Fonseca was charming and welcoming. We arrived late without notice that we would need food, but a short 15 minute walk down the hill took us to a delightful cafe/restaurant - very basic but cheap and delicious. The hotel is a converted colonial house up on a hill with great views - breakfast was provided and was more than ample. There was a lot of fruit! Plates of different types for us to try and homemade eggs and bread. We had a driver, so I'm uncertain how easy it is to travel to and from the centre of Kandy from the hotel, but there were many tuk tuks available. All in all a very pleasant overnight visit.

Beautiful place, excellent staff
We had a wonderful stay here. Our room was spotlessly clean with lots of space for luggage. The hotel is in a beautiful colonial style building with amazing views. It is a short tuk tuk ride into the main part of town - I would say this is a benefit as the hotel is away from the hustle and bustle and feels very peaceful. Breakfast was big and delicious (omelette, fresh fruit and smoothie, toast, roti and curd) served on terrace with lovely views. The highlight of the hotel is the staff that work here. Fonseka and his colleague (who’s name I can’t remember, apologies) took such good care of us. They got up in the early hours to serve us breakfast before we had to take our train. They sorted out tours and an itinerary and booked train tickets for us. Nothing was too much for them and it was their care that made our stay memorable - thank you!

Notting Hill Country House is the perfect place to stay if you want to be close to all of the attractions in Kandy, while away from all of the noise. The breakfasts were delicious, the room was clean and comfortable, and the manager and his staff were fantastic! He helped us get last minute seated train tickets to Ella, which we greatly appreciated! (tip: email host before your arrival to ensure tickets and less stress) I 100% recommend staying in Notting Hill Country House for your next stay in Kandy!

Excellent boutique hotel
With excellent breakfasts and helpful friendly staff, this hotel was definitely a good find! The owner was keen to make sure you had a positive experience, and helped ensure that we didn't miss any of the highlights of Kandy and the surrounding area during our brief stay. His advice was very sound and by arranging a tuk tuk to take us to a working tea plantation, the Botanical Gardens and the war cemetery was definitely a good move and made this excursion very easy and enjoyable for us to do. Although the hotel is a little way out of the town and away from the obvious main roads, getting a tuk tuk to and from it was not difficult or expensive. I would highly recommend it as a place to stay. (Note: It is always worth making sure that you take the telephone number of the hotel along with the address when you go out as not all taxi drivers know where the hotel is.)

Amazing views of the Kandy hills
Enjoyed our stay at NottingHill Country House.Old colonial house, shady upstairs verandah, peaceful garden but only 5 minutes away from the lake and 10 from downtown Kandy by tuk tuk. Nothing is too much trouble for Fonseca . He goes the extra mile to help and organised to have train tickets picked up for us. The rooms are spotlessly clean and comfortable, the shower is properly hot , the breakfast fruit lavish and the view from the garden and terrace is amazing. It will all be even better when they have made the road . For now it's a bumpy ride and there isn't a sign on/from the main road ( turn up left just before the sign for the Majestic hotel , follow road left and hotel isup a steep drive on the right) but Fonseca promises a roadside sign is coming in 2017. Recommended ,

Extensive breakfast and lovely view
Nice hotel up in the hills with a very steep road running to the hotel. Nice relaxed ambiance with jazz music playing each night. Very good rice curry served for dinner and excellent breakfast with a generous spread: fresh fruits, juice, roti, onions, omelette, buffalo curd with palm treacle, toast, marmalades and more! Fun to watch the monkeys in the trees and chat with the owner!
