Hidden Lake Cottages Sigiriya

Close to nature, with lots of diverse bird life, and the odd monkey and mongoose! Walks through the interesting country side right outside the front gate. Extraordinarily friendly and hospitable hosts, who meet or anticipate your every need, including providing transport and guiding advice. Excellent, authentic Sri Lankan food available for breakfast lunch or dinner (and in between!) at very reasonable prices. The plunge pool to cool off in. The lovely local people, who are likely to stop and chat when you are out exploring the surrounding area, amongst fruit trees and fields of beautiful vegetables.

The struggle to not eat too much delicious Sri Lankan cuisine!

Beautiful setting, with our own private pool. Lots of birds. Owners gave us a late breakfast after we had returned from climbing Lions rock.

Nothing

The accommodation was absolutely nice with totally kind and lovely hosts. We enjoyed our stay a lot and did not miss anything. The little own pool was always nice for a refresh. The breakfast was great as well. We would highly recommend this accommodation.

What makes this place is the owner. She was lovely. Very accommodating. We arrived late and hungry. And there is nowhere to eat locally without getting a car. She made us food and accommodated a vegan..... food was delicious. Breakfast again was delicious and accommodating. The hotel is really cheap and even the mini bar items! The room was clean and comfortable. Having use of an outside area was nice too, set in a natural environment. Nice to eat outside except for the mosquitos! But the owner did bring us a mosquito incense repellant, again very thoughtful.

The hotel is literally in the middle of nowhere. There are signs but theyre not easy to see or follow in the dark. Google maps isn't correct for the route either, but luckily a local passed by and helped us. Better signage is a must! We didnt use the pool. It looked nice and clean. But the paint is peeled off in places. A paint job would really elevate the aesthetics!
