This place is pleasant, and the staff are obliging, but it is very overpriced for what it is.

“Beauty & Elegance!”
The elegance of the Stafford Bungalow is just wonderful. Attention to detail is of a very high standard, nothing was too much if needed. The room was large and beautifully furnished. The grounds were impeccably kept with view accross the tea plantation. The food was first class.

“Fabulous”
Stafford Bungalow far exceeded our expectations. The property is stunning and the gardens are amazing. All of the staff were very friendly and attentive, helpful and well trained. The location is a bit out of town and there aren’t many dining options nearby, but that isn’t an issue because the food at the property is excellent. We opted for half board, which included a huge breakfast, afternoon tea and a three course dinner. In hindsight, I wish we had selected the full board option because the food was really good. The chef and kitchen staff cooked both Sri Lankan and Western food to a very high standard. Our room was large, very clean and very comfortable. We stayed in the Master Suite, which has its own private courtyard. We enjoyed a walking tour of a nearby tea plantation and also a visit to a tea processing plant. Thank you to all of the staff for an excellent and memorable stay at Stafford Bungalow.

“A beautiful and tranquil oasis!”
Hidden away from the bustling town centre. A beautiful and tranquil space both outside and inside. Food was amazing - we had half board which included breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner. We were also offered complimentary walks - tea plantation and bird watching
