«We booked 2 nights but were lucky to extend our stay for 2 more nights, because owners just made two new rooms ready, and had not yet published them on booking sites. Property now consists of four rooms - two on the ground floor (these are doubles), and newly introduced two rooms on the upper floor (one double and one family room with two double beds). On the ground floor rooms, breakfast was served on individual table right in front of the room entrance (there is a little garden). On the upper floor breakfast was served on the individual spacious balcony.
Mountain View at the time of breakfast is charming. The breakfast itself is more than exceptional. We like to have a hearty meal in the morning to have enough energy through the day, and here it was right on. Adding delicious mango juice with a hint of vanilla. Ceylon tea with milk of course. Fresh air. It was one of the best experiences, which actually made me write all this (usually I don't bother - since I travel a lot and do not have time to review all hotels)
Owners are a hearty gorgeous and welcoming couple, who really improved the quality of our time spent in the area:
1) we needed to take a picturesque train to Ella, but we drove a car, so they arranged an experienced driver who drove our car from Dickoya to Ella, and there we hiked to little Adams Peak, and then drove the car back to Dickoya. They also called the trainstation to enquire about train tickets for us. [the 1st and 2nd class was fully booked, we went by 3rd class and it was OK because - in Hatton, not many people board the train, and we had vacant seats by the window]. With each next station, more people were entering the train.
2) I needed to buy a saree and they gave a great advice about local store in Hatton (where I did buy a great saree), and also about other great apparel stores in Kandy (which was our next destination). [Btw in Kandy - those stores are Nolimit and Fashion Bug. Also we discovered great Glitz store which is in KCC.»
