Delicious Culinary Delights

The food at the Farm Resorts was really good. Each meal featured locally sourced ingredients, and the Sri Lankan breakfast with delicious curries and coconut sambol was a highlight. The carrot and ginger soup was particularly good! Each dining experience was in a stunning outdoor setting.

Lovely Lake Views

I stayed in a chalet that was right by the lake, and the views were absolutely amazing. The room itself was spacious and beautifully decorated. I loved the large glass windows that opened up to let in the refreshing breeze and provide a continuous connection to the landscape.

Staying at The Farm Resort was an unforgettable experience for me! The breathtaking views, especially from our cozy bungalow right by the water, were simply stunning. The hospitality we received, particularly from our butler Raju, was extraordinary, making our visit very special. While everything else was close to perfect, I found the rooms could use a bit more attention in terms of maintenance. Overall, it was a lovely stay in the heart of nature with superb service.

I had a lovely three-night stay at the Farm Resort, which is beautifully tucked away in a tranquil area surrounded by stunning hills and tea plantations. While I didn't get the specific chalet room I requested, my upper floor room still provided a nice distant view of the lake and was spacious and comfortable. The dining experience was delightful, with well-prepared meals, although breakfast could have offered a bit more variety. The service was top-notch, with attentive assistance from our personal butler throughout our stay. Overall, a peaceful getaway with magnificent natural beauty, but not ideal for those seeking nightlife or bustling city vibes.

This resort spa is a tranquil oasis situated next to a beautiful lake, surrounded by lush tea plantations. The rooms are spacious with breathtaking views, and the staff is incredibly attentive, making our stay memorable. However, it could use some activities on-site, and dining can get a bit pricey, so consider the meal plans. Overall, it offers great value for a peaceful getaway.

My husband and I experienced a mix of highs and lows during our stay. While the location and views were stunning, the initial room we received was not cleaned properly, which was disappointing. The service in the restaurant fell short, but we appreciated how the staff handled our complaints promptly. The resort has a lot of potential, but some fundamental issues need improvement.
