Ferncliff Bungalow is a very special place to stay and probably my favourite guesthouse in Sri Lanka. It's small (four rooms) which means you are extremely well-looked after by Bernard and his team. The bungalow is spacious with large rooms and a cosy communal dining area (complete with an open fire). The limited number of rooms means maximum flexibility when it comes to arrival, departure and all your meals. Bernard kindly prepared a packed lunch for our young children to eat on the train. The gardens are well-maintained and a welcome open (but safe) space for kids to let off steam.

Amazing place!!! The house in the Colonial style is situated in a big garden, with wonderful flowers and trees. The room was large and tasted furnished. The breakfast and the dinner were amazing. At night the host even opened the fire place and light the candles. One of our nicest places we stayed in Sri Lanka. We highly recommend this place!

Beautiful period property and garden. Bernard and his team were extremely accommodating - they cleaned our muddy walking boots and put hot water bottles in our bed in the evening. The food is fantastic, served in a lovely dining room with a roaring fire. Located near Victoria Park and 10 mins walk to the centre of town.

Staying in Ferncliff Bungalow is like staying in history! A beautiful colonial house nearly 200 years old maintained lovingly to the highest standards by its lovely team. Bernard is the perfect host. We felt so well cared for and pampered. Dinner was delicious. We are so happy we stayed in Ferncliff and would highly recommend.

It’s just so lovely and old English. Makes you feel like you’re staying in a big old house in the Lake District, but with the necessary amenities done to a high standard Staff will bend over backwards to help you

immensely characterful and charming, but also all mod cons.,

A wonderful place to relax with a rich history. The atmosphere takes you to 19th century England. Excellent staff will always help, prompt and conduct a tour of the territory. The house itself is the residence of the first governor of Sri Lanka, while the layout has remained unchanged for several centuries. Very tasty dishes, some vegetables and fruits from their own garden! And the shocking pudding is incredible. Thank you, I want to stay in this house for a long time!

very interesting colonial bungalow with beautiful gardens, a lovely tranquil base for a few days rest
