My family and I stayed at the Weir House and it was one of the highlights of our trip to Sri Lanka.  The house is beautifully decorated, blending colonial and modern aspects seamlessly together.  Its location is in the mountains surrounded by forest and sitting on the terrace the nearby whitewater river can be heard.  Our room was great with all the amenities we needed and then some.  The food was delicious.  And, a very special thanks goes to Maha, the manager, we had several very nice discussions.  At check out we traveled to our next accommodation in Kandy.  Unfortunately, the new accommodation in Kandy didn’t meet our expectations, and after calling Maha, he recommended a great hotel and helped us book it.  His kindness really saved the day for us.

Amazing beautiful accommodation surrounded by forest with a nearby whitewater river.

Such beautiful accommodation. The location is a feast for the senses - all around is verdant forest and the constant buzz of jungle creatures and the rushing river water. We spent three days ensconced just enjoying  the exceptional views, reading, chatting and playing games. The river nearby was a fantastic place to paddle and cool off - a good number of hours were spent swimming and clambering on the rocks.  The food was truly amazing and Dana and Maha and the team were attentive and kind. Staying here proved to be one of the highlights of our tour of Sri Lanka.

It should be noted that the road to the property is awaiting repair, this means our mini van did struggle a bit on it. It may be worth bearing this mind if considering it as a base for excursions.

a stunning forest retreat

We loved our stay at The Weir House. From the time of inquiry with Sumudu to the moment we left, everything was on point. 
We booked a total of 3 rooms which included a triple, however we were given the quadruple in place since we also had a little guest with us to make our stay more comfortable. 
The property is beautiful and the interior is tastefully decorated. 
Maha and his small team were exceptional  and managed everything most perfectly. It’s hard to understand how they flow with everything so calmly but they made it all work. 
Food was awesome. The soups, juices and Sri Lankan food needs a special mention as they were delicious. 
This property is perfect when you travel with a larger group Vs a mere double as the whole property is then exclusively yours. 
We enjoyed our stay very much and can’t wait to be back.

Special places

We had a lovely stay at the Weir House. The staff is very accommodating and attentive. The house is located a bit off the beaten tracks in a calm and green surrounding, perfect to relax. The interior and setting are really tasteful.
We used our stay to do cycling and hiking in the surrounding area, but also Kandy and Nuwara Eliya are not too far away (less than 1 hour).
As there are only five bedrooms, it was very cozy and private. Overall we would definitely recommend and hope to visit this place soon again.

Little gem in the green

This might just about be the most wonderful hotel we ever stayed in. Idyllic situation in beautiful woodland beside a stream. Great bird-spotting all around and some lovely walks along quiet lanes. The rooms tastefully furnished and decorated, and the food….! Just gorgeous. All the staff friendly, helpful and attentive, nothing was too much trouble. Lovely swimming pool. We’d love to go back.

Boutique hotel excellence

We immediately felt at home when we arrived at the Weir House. The beautiful living room has such a cozy and homey feeling and you are surrounded by nature. You can relax at the pool while only hearing the sound of the nearby river. The staff is very kind and gentle and made sure we were always comfortable and had everything we needed. It is also just half an hour away from the famous Ambuluwawa Tower, making it the perfect day trip.

Delightful stay

I absolutely loved the style of the Weir House that really felt like my own home away. The cozy and elegant atmosphere made our time there very enjoyable, also thanks to the wonderful and kind staff that takes care of everything. The location immersed in nature makes you relax and unwind. You can chill at the beautiful pool, go for a nice hike along the river or a day trip to the famous Ambuluwawa Tower that is just 30min away.

A lovely stay

I stayed in many nice places on this trip, but the Weir House really stood out as something special.  A boutique property with only four guest rooms and outstanding personal service, it will make you feel pampered and care for.  Maha, the manager, took care of my every need and even kept me company at dinner, as I was traveling solo.  The chef is outstanding and I thoroughly enjoyed each meal; I was also surprised to have choices for breakfast and dinner each day, given how small the property is.  The sound of the rushing brook below lulled me to sleep at night and there were forest paths to walk on nearby.  My room had a hanging swing on a private porch right outside the double French doors, perfect for reading and lounging.  I highly recommend this place as a getaway from the hustle and bustle of Sri Lankan tourist circuit.

Something truly special

The Weir House was a perfect place for us as a family during six days. With our son (2 years old) and daughter (4 years old) we used the accomodation as a base camp to see family in the neighbourhood. The staff of The Weir House is excellent. They help you with everything. For example; Carrying our lugguga, short tuk tuk tour and even in some times helping with the Kids. The food is also excellent. The chef brings the sri lankan food to a higher standard. Really delicious. 

Beautiful accommodation in the hills

A perfect retreat after a busy week of travelling. The customer service and thought given around the food served as well as activities to suit the whole family demonstrated their passion. It's a truly idyllic spot, clean and well maintained and nothing is too much trouble.
