At the guest house, units are fitted with a desk. Featuring a private bathroom with a shower and slippers, units at the guest house also boast free WiFi. At the guest house, every unit is fitted with bed linen and towels. Sahan provided me with a spacious, comfortable, clean, fragrant and bright room. The bathroom is immaculate. It is located a 10-minute walk from the ancient city and rents bicycles to visit it. Sahan is a flexible and friendly person, full of attention and useful advice. He recommended a good hairdresser and an excellent (and trendy) restaurant just a few steps away from the property. As I had to work remotely, I needed excellent Wi-Fi, and here it is truly perfect: I had six hours of video conferencing without the slightest problem. I felt at home and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to visit this beautiful site.

The area is popular for cycling, and bike hire and car hire are available at the guest house. It rained almost without stopping during our stay at Lake Cabin. However we had a happy time in the care of our excellent host who made us welcome and helped us find an excellent local place to eat as well as arranging a tour of the lake where we saw several elephants. There were good choices for breakfast. The lake view from the veranda was stunning with so many birds.

The guest house specialises in a Full English/Irish and Asian breakfast and breakfast in the room is also available. At Villa Ravichini, the family-friendly restaurant is open for dinner, lunch and high tea and serves Asian cuisine. The guesthouse is close to the main sites. Ravi makes delicious breakfast with lots of fresh fruits. He even made us a takeaway breakfast when we had to leave early for elephant safari. Ravi organized bikes for us to use to see the ruins. He also set up an elephant safari with an excellent guide, Shiron. He was knowledgeable and showed us some incredible birds. He had a knack for getting us in the right spots for elephant viewing and was respectful to give the elephants space. Highly recommend a trip with him. We also recommend the morning trip as he said in the afternoons sometimes there are 200 jeeps!

À la carte and continental breakfast options with warm dishes, local specialities and fresh pastries are available. The family-friendly restaurant at the guest house serves international cuisine, and is open for dinner and lunch. Nice air-conditioned apartments in a beautiful shady garden. The apartments are located close to the sights, the lake and shops, but far enough from the busy main street. The host was very attentive and willing to help us with anything and completely arranged a safari for us, including transportation. He also lent us bikes, which we used to ride around the lake one day and the next day to ride through the historical ruins. We spent 3 nights in the villa and it was a wonderful experience that we highly recommend to everyone.
