The Bellwood Manor

Amazing service, beautiful property, good location - quiet. Nice spa also run by an Indonesian lady

Bellwood Manor is immaculately and faultlessly furnished with an excellent staff. Every detail is designed and brilliantly executed. The food is brilliant with an excellent chef. I cannot recommend this stay more highly. It is a sheer pleasure to spend time at Bellwood Manor.

No faults. Cannot be faulted.

Absolutely delightful old Manor House, very comfortable, so relaxing. The staff are lovely and attentive, there’s a super restaurant and a snooker room, croquet, and a spa. We didn’t want to leave!

Everything! I have nothing to fault

Service was flawless, staff very welcoming and all go the extra mile to make things comfortable and easy. The food was great, and on the day we left they went out of their way to sort food for us to take away very early. The interior is amazing, gardens and spa are great. The latter, you book out for an hour session when you want it so is very private too. 10/10

The Bellwood Manor is an excellent boutique hotel. It offers a quaint reminder of the colonial era with exceptional service and represents Sri Lanka very well. The staff are personal, attentive and responsive to any/all needs. The entire staff go above and beyond to make sure your stay is comfortable. Truly a remarkable service experience. The breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner service are designed to be personal and enjoyable; they will tailor the selection to your preferences. The property is exceptionally well maintained with a detail eye obvious in all the staff and leadership.

The positives far outweigh any small issues. Nothing to critique.

The Bellwood Manor was by far the best hotel we stayed at during our week in Sri Lanka – and honestly, one of the best places I’ve ever stayed at in all my travels. A charming manor full of character, set in a stunning location, where every single detail is thought through with so much care. From the moment we arrived, the staff were absolutely amazing – kind, attentive, and incredibly caring. We were truly pampered from start to finish, and I’ve never experienced service like that before. They even took the time to share the fascinating history of the manor, which made our stay even more special. The quality of both the interior and exterior is outstanding. The woodwork, the materials, the decor… everything is done with impeccable taste and gives off such a warm and luxurious atmosphere. Even the garden is immaculately maintained – the grass was trimmed like a golf course, which just shows how much pride they take in every corner of the property. The dinner was like something from a gourmet restaurant – refined, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The pool and sauna area, located in the old stables, is absolutely fabulous – luxurious, peaceful, and completely private for us. Our room was gorgeous, but the real standout was the exceptional bathroom – spacious, elegant, and just perfect. We also loved the billiard room, super classy, and the cozy bar, perfect for relaxing at the end of the day. We were genuinely and sincerely blown away by this place, and I recommend it wholeheartedly. One thing is certain: we’ll definitely be coming back!

Super comfy rooms, great private spa and outstanding staff
