A majestic and stately property hidden away from tourist crowds in Keggale. The rooms are spacious and decorated with beautiful artefacts. Nothing is lacking as a facility inside the room. A pleasant fragrance from the incense burner welcomes you in the luxurious room. A very relaxing atmosphere. Check in and check out was super smooth. Special mention to Brian, the gentleman who manages the restaurant for his hospitality and kind attention to all of our requirements

Rosyth Estate is a wonderful little hotel in the middle of nowhere. The team was extremely welcoming and did go above and beyond, even though we only stayed there for one night. Special kudos to the best chicken curry we had ever!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay here! The staff were incredibly kind and went above and beyond to make our visit special. They even arranged delicious dinners for us, organized tuk-tuk rides, and showed us their beautiful Ayurvedic garden where we enjoyed a relaxing massage and discovered some excellent natural products. The local breakfast was also very tasty and a perfect start to the day. We truly felt cared for and can highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a warm and authentic experience.

Hotel was great , we arrived at 5 am and security let us in . Restaurant was great , WiFi was good , shops are a 2 min walk up the road as is the elephant orphanage. View from our room was amazing . Elephants come right up to you . Bathroom could have been cleaner but that is my only down point . Value for money 11/10 for the experience we had There is a herb garden , elephant poo factory and tea factory that are all very interesting

Pinnawala basically has 4 main attractions therefore a maximum of 2 days is sufficient. The main attraction is the elephant orphanage. Related to that is the elephant bathing at the nearby river which is fascinating. Remember the ticket you purchase for the orphanage is required for the bathing so do both in the same day as the tickets technically only valid for the day (we did not know this so we went to the orphanage in the evening and went to see the bathing the next day.. however the kind ticket officers let us go). Then there is a mini zoo where animals roam in more space than usual. You can feed animals here which could be fascinating (for a small fee). Then there is a traditional village called Iparini Gama where you can experience live style of a traditional sri lankan village.

Spectacular area to get up and close with elephants.

Spectacular area to get up and close with elephants. Unique experience with elephants walking thru the village for their daily bathing. General accommodation facilities were good. Bars and eateries also of reasonable standard. We stayed at Grand Royal Pinnalanda and found this quite satisfactory in services and value.

Amazing experience to watch the elephants bathing.

Amazing experience to watch the elephants bathing. A number of souvenir shops on the street and limited food options. We ate in our hotel. Shops don't stay open late as most tourists leave for the day. 1 night is enough.

The staff were very obliging.

The staff were very obliging. We arrived at 1am, this was not a problem and they greeted us warmly. Next morning we watched elephants in river from our balcony. The events coordinator took us to a place where we could walk and swim with elephants. He stopped on side of road on way back to try coconut milk. Wonderful staff. We found the breakfast not quite to European tastes.
