“Highly recommend,breakfast/evening meal/a beer.£10 a head”

So wonderfully quiet.

“10/10 Homestay”

Myself and my girlfriend loved Pepper Cottage because we felt right at home. It’s a real family oriented homestay with shared dinners and breakfasts every day. Rooms and facilities are super nice and clean too!

Pepper cottage is so beautiful and well looked after. The location is stunning and peaceful, a great spot for exploring knuckles and close to Kandy. The hosts take care of you so well. We want to go back!

“I had a fantastic stay! Its an home away from Home, and I wish I stayed longer! Until next time!”

I loved the homey feel of the whole place. I was greeted and made to feel at home as soon as my Tuk Tuk pulled up outside the driveway. I loved the quiet and the local nature of the place.

“A little bit of paradise.”

We had the most relaxing two nights at the cottage. Lucian was the most attentive host. The food was delicious and the hike and swim at the waterfall were magical. Loved it and would love to return for a longer period to further explore the area.

The manager Lucian is so friendly, he really made our stay in Sri-Lanka more easy by helping us out with all of our questions. The cottage is well maintained and designed/decorated with great care. The food was super tasty and fresh. The area is unbelievably pretty. We enjoyed all of it! Would definitely recommend it!

“Best in Sri Lanka!”

The Pepper Cottage was realy a paradise! I think the best place where we stayed in Sri Lanka. The people were helpfull and so friendly. Esspecialy for the children they were great. The cook prepared every meal fresh and stood every evening in the kitchen for at least 3 hours. The food was brilliant!

“A warm and friendly holidayhouse”

Lucian is a great host. We've been here for three full days. The first day, he guided us on a walk in the neighbourhood, to a paradise-waterfall where we could swim. The second day he arranged that he and a friend drove us in our own Tuktukrental-tuktuk's to and in Kandy and he guided us. The third day we went, again with Lucian as our guide, on a day hike in Knuckles. The food is great, there is a washing machine, you can use the whole house. The house is a warm and friendly place with a splendid view. The cottage is run by the community, so everybody is helping and you get a nice view of de lives of the Sri Lankan people. When booking is full, contact Lucian directly!

“Peaceful stay in nature”

Peaceful retreat in a great location.

“Super!”

You have a nice view from the terrace. Lucien cooks delicious food! Would recommend.

“Wish we could have stayed longer!”

We loved everything about this place. The host Lucian is amazing and so accomodating and a very good cook. The room is simple & clean, and has everything you need + a very nice shower. The view from the garden is beautiful and if it’s raining there’s a nice living room to chill. We did a hike to one of the peaks in the knuckle range, which Lucian helped us arrange (you need a guide to come with you + special socks so the leeches can’t get you). It was challenging, but beautiful, and we were the only ones there since not many places offer this hike. It took us around 7/8 hours to complete the hike, so we recommend to start early!

“Beautiful Location & Great Hospitality”

I like the views, garden and plantation surrounding the property. Friendly staff, who gave us a soursop from his harvest. Comfortable stay, but is difficult to get to, especially at night. We were informed in advance, but did not expect the steep roads leading up to the cottage.

“Great secluded location with nice trekkings”

Lucien is a great host and you are in a very quiet area but with a feeling of being at home. It's a private experience. We also did the knuckle forest hike and it's great but intense! Be up for 6 to 8 hours of rainforest trekking!!

“Great experience !”

We had three wonderful and peaceful days at the pepper cottage. We were lucky and the only guests in that time, the host Lucian was very helpful to organize trips according to our individual wishes. He is an honest person with an interesting story and has good connections in the village, everyone knows him. We did a hiking tour through the village and to a beautiful waterfall. The next day we went to a local weaving mill, tea plantation and fishing with local fishermen. We were never forced to buy anything, he just wanted to show us. Food was excellent and fair price. Rooms are nice and Tidy and Lucian is a very good Cook. We liked it really much.

Lucian and the whole local community are very welcoming. This whole cottage arrangement is a perfect example of local sustainability. The free guided hikiings with our children, natural swimming pools, visiting organic coffee plantation... Sri Lanka at its purest and wildest. (You better do the last hilly kilometre by tuktuk).

We were at the Pepper Cottage on our 2nd day during our Sri lanka visit, so we didnt really know what was ahead of us. Luckily we met Lucian who was the host of the place. Besides delicious and variable lokal food that lucian cooked for us, he, showed us the nearby waterfall and even Took us to a Gym in the morning. Furthermore we were the first people to sleep in a cottage beside the house, just like 20m up the Hill. Shower and Toilette worked wirhout Problems and the Moskito-net Kept most of insects away from us. All ower im very happy about our 3 day stay at the pepper cottage. It Was the perfect Start into our trip. Add: We followed Lucians advise to Continue travelling by bus which worked perfecty. Outside of Colombo things are war more chilled.

“Very nice house in beautiful nature, amazing host, Lucian, and incredible food.”

Lucian, the manager, is an amazing host and very good cook. we had a feast everyday of our stay, and we felt ver my welcomed and cared for.

“Beautiful location!”

Beautiful location! If you like to get a little more off the beaten track, you should go here. Lots of nice walks in the area. The food is also good and Lucian is very welcoming. Would recommend!
