Old Frankland Estate Eco Lodge

I was there twice with my university friends. It was a really nice experience to us.they provide great customer service. Really calm place, you can spend your leisure time here very well.foods are also delicious.reasonable prices. Highly recommended to persons who searching a place to spend freely with their friends. <3

Amazing rooms, and amazing villa.
Service was truly good and they prepared really nice dinner and breakfast.
Mind blowing views inside the tea estate.

Just one drawback was there, the access road to the hotel was not good. Hotel staff provided us with transport to and from the hotel and even arranged a place for us to park our vehicle.

If you want to relax from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the peace and quiet in the mountains, this accommodation is just the thing - a fantastic, old property between curry and cinnamon! The hosts were incredibly nice and accommodating - always with a laugh on their faces. Unfortunately we had to cancel one night because we were pressed for time. Despite booking and basically a cancellation fee, we paid nothing. The breakfast and dinner were also first class! We can highly recommend Old Frankland to everyone!

Wonderful place. Access somewhat complicated but the staff will help you get there.
Worth.

We went there for a family day out. Had a warm welcome. Environment is very calm and beautiful. Lunch was fine. Pool is ok. Everything was goo. But the road is broken. Call the hotel before you go there. They will guide you.

Personally the journey I had for this destination was a memorable one and it was a hella scary. All because I had a wrong turn and led to a road that even walking is not safe. It was a rainy day and an evening. I was with my 2 year old child and wife. If you accidentally took a wrong turn there will be no place to turn back! So keep that in your mind and always ask from villagers. Do not rely on maps.

Beside the road, the place is a wonderful, cosy family friendly bungalow where you can have a comforting bath from the infinity pool facing a breathtaking mountain range. Since this was an old tea factory bungalow that has been renovated you can't expect five star amenities. The rooms were spacious. The bathroom was clean. But the bedsheets were not clean enough for our liking since we stayed with our baby.

The food is okay. Portion size was a bit of concern for our group.

The caretakers were friendly and helpful.

As a whole it was a good experience in the middle of nowhere. As a bunch of friends and family we had a good time.

Super place for friends gatherings. Nice view in the Swimming pool. I think the support staff is the Key value there. They are super friendly and very very helpful.
Property owners are definitely very lucky to have such staff with them.
They take care of every small thing.

You can have BBQ dinner also. They will arrange with your request. They had a Karaoke system and we enjoyed it very much.

IMPORTANT: Be careful when you follow the map. It may lead to a very defecult route. Always follow the ' Rewarh maha vidyalaya or Siri Jayabodhi viharaya route.

Everything was spot on. The owner and caretaker were really helpful and friendly. The road was a bit rough but manageable. When you get to the location, you won’t regret. The place and view were amazing. Indoor pools. Spacious rooms and bathrooms. And a big lobby area. The food was absolutely delicious. Felt like home. Highly recommend it to everyone.

Such an amazing place! We stayed there for one great night. The view from the hotel is unbelievable and all you can hear is the sound of birds!
The service was amazing and the staff were very nice. We met the owner of the place who was very friendly and helpful. He took us to the sunset point, gave us a ride on checking out and arranged our transport. I cannot recommend this place more and I would give it 10/5! We would definitely come back to it. The time we spent there was an experience rather than only a stay.

The view and pool at this hotel was stunning, sounds of nature all around very tranquil, probably the most beautiful surroundings i hace ever stayed in. Hotel staff were super accommodating and lovely. Dinner and breakfast was good and plentiful:)

Only major negative was the location, whilst it was nice to be in the middle of nowhere, this is also its downfall, the road to get to it is pretty horrendous! Our driver in his people carrier van was amazing to carry on, I worried for his vehicle! We were supposed to stay two nights here, but being on a busy schedule with heaps to visit and see, having to come back to the hotel on that road for a second night was just too much to make our driver do, which was a massive shame as we loved it here. The hotel cancelled our second night with no charge which was kind of them as they could quite easily have charged us for that too.

This place is perfect if you want to get away in beautiful surroundings for a few days, and not leave the hotel. If you are busy visiting everything its not so convenient and pretty far from main kandy, at least 1 hour.

Some feedback for small improvements for the hotel is to fix the minor things like broken toilet seat, exposed wiring, mount for tv on the wall but no tv there, we didn't have a room key as previous guests had taken it by accident (was not a problem for us as only staying one night but maybe for others) and maybe scoop some bugs out of the pool more often (I understand it is a jungle location so expect a few bugs!)

Overall a super stay here, would definitely come back again (with a 4x4 lol) Thankyou to everyone who made our stay what it was:)

Beautiful place, very adventurous journey.different experience.highly recommend to spend few days to have a very relaxed peaceful holiday

Had a great time in the hotel. Very good rooms with very delicious food and friendly staff. A very good place to spend your moment in this hotel

Superb location.delicious food.calm and quite place.relaxing.specially thanks to chamara who support to us till late night.

The hotel staff, food & the service was amazing. A good place to spend your holidays with your family. Really nice nature view point.

Amazing place with a beautiful atmosphere and the people working here are very friendly and helpful.

Very good one to stay at kadugannawa.bit far away from kandy road.we have to stop our own vehicles in a park at the state entrance and then they are providing a fourwheel cab to reach the bunglow.food and bbq was excellent. Caretaker was giving very good service.highly recomend this place for a vacation.

Great place! The stuff was super friendly and always gave us more food when already finished. The view is extraordinary and the place itself as well. The owner was a very hospitable and friendly man who even showed us around in his estate and gave us a look around and guidance in his garden to explain plants and everything we were interested in. We would really love to come back! Thanks and keep going:)!

Very calming atmosphere. Superb view of mountains. Nice pool with an awesome scenery on the edge of the cliff. Friendly attentive staff. Good for family and groups.

This is what Sri Lanka is all about for us. Little jewels in the middle of nowhere! Very much loved staying here, and still feel gutted that we only had one night there (place was fully booked, and couldn't cancel).

Nalin, the owner and manager of the estate, is such a positive and upbeat guy, its infectious. Not only did he offer to pick us up from Kandy - when we could have actually gotten off the train at Peradeniya Junction, which is much closer than Kandy - but he patiently drove us all the way to the estate through solid school traffic, whilst making great conversation along the way.

If you lucky and the place is not full, you might get to choose a room. Check them out, they all very nice, but each one is quite different. Staff are super hospitable and nothing seems ever too much to ask for. Everything is done with a smile and their English is pretty good actually. Most of them work in a number of capacities on the estate, with many of their family members working on the tea and spice plantations. So you get a good feeling for the place, if you willing to engage in a little bit of conversation.

The pool is a true gem in this place. Clean and well maintained, specially considering you miles from the nearest main road. The same goes for the rest of the place, so don't be put off by the odd missing fixture of damaged item; these are minor details. Food is very good too, and we ate more than enough.

If you like to have cocktails and alcoholic beverages other than beer, just ask, or bring them with you when you arrive.

Great walks around the area, which is really peaceful, not even a single dog barking! Please keep it like this - don't play your mobile phone, tablet, speaker etc and let everyone else enjoy the peace and tranquility of this lovely place!

这就是斯里兰卡对我们的意义所在。在荒无人烟的地方的小珠宝! 非常喜欢住在这里, 仍然觉得很沮丧, 因为我们在那里只有一个晚上 (地方已经订满了, 不能取消) 。

该庄园的老板和经理纳林是这样一个积极乐观的家伙, 很有感染力。他不仅提出要从康提接我们-那时我们本来可以在佩拉德尼亚路口下车, 比康提要近很多-而且他还耐心地开车送我们一路走到庄园, 同时进行着很好的交谈在路上。

如果你运气好, 这个地方不满, 你可以选择一个房间。看看他们, 他们都很好, 但每一个都很不一样。工作人员非常热情, 似乎没有什么要求太多。一切都是带着微笑完成的, 他们的英语其实相当不错。他们中的大多数人在庄园里从事多种工作, 他们的许多家庭成员在茶叶和香料种植园工作。所以, 如果你愿意进行一点交谈, 你会对这个地方有很好的感觉。

游泳池是这个地方真正的宝石。干净, 保养良好, 特别是考虑到你离最近的主干道几英里。其他地方也是如此, 所以不要被损坏物品的奇怪缺失夹具所拖延;这些都是小细节。食物也很好, 我们吃得足够了。

如果你喜欢喝鸡尾酒和啤酒以外的酒精饮料, 只要问一下, 或者在你到达的时候带上它们就可以了。

伟大的散步周围的地区, 这是真正的和平, 甚至没有一个狗叫! 请保持这样-不要玩你的手机, 平板电脑, 扬声器等, 让其他人享受这个可爱的地方的和平与安宁!

A calm and quite place with a breathtaking view. Situated in the middle of a tea state. The staff was really nice and cool.
