The location/view from the pool was exceptionally beautiful. The house and room extremely comfortable and very clean. Very peaceful and wonderful food. The breakfast was delicious and far more than we could eat. Lovely family. Helped with our transport and a day out.

I am a retired airline staff member, and this place is a part of my retirement plan. I started my career in the Hotel Industry, and I am now back to the same field after retirement. Exploring new places, experiencing different cultures and creating memories through travel is a common interest for many people and I am not an exception. Regular physical activities such as walking and gardening are part of my daily routine. Building and maintaining relationships with family and friends (including new friends) is important to me and it was one of the reasons that I wanted to run this hotel after my retirement.
The Grove is located in a quiet neighborhood overlooking the Hanthana mountain range and Ambuluwawa, the bio-diversity complex. Guests have enjoyed the quiet and calmness of the place; especially early morning with the birds chirping and the peaceful mountain views. Living in a neighborhood surrounded by mountains can provide stunning views with lush greenery and cascading waterfalls. It often offers a peaceful and serene environment. Away from the hustle and bustle of city life, our guests can enjoy a quieter and more relaxed environment with less noise and pollution. Mountain areas are a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. They can engage in various activities like hiking, rock climbing and camping. It can be an ideal choice for those seeking tranquility, a connection with nature and a sense of adventure. Guided nature walks allow guests to explore the diverse flora and fauna while gaining insights into the region's ecological significance. This can be arranged either in groups or individuals to trek the mountain. Peradeinya University and the Botanical Garden are 11 km away from the property.
