The wooden features are beautiful and the bedrooms are outstanding. Wonderful snooker table and fireplaces. Lovely garden where you can sit and enjoy afternoon tea. The staff, especially Sameera, were absolutely excellent- they couldn’t do enough for us. Thank you again Sameera, we will hopefully see you again one day! - Only slight negative is that it could have more photographs of the historical figures or building itself going up the walls. ##### Ryan Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 4 Mar 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful garden! I thought it was very expensive par night ($300), but all inclusive. We had very good Sri Lankan meals for breakfast and dinner. The garden was beautiful. The road condition to the hotel was terrible. No wonder a driver refused to take us. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 20 Dec 2018 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Isolated. Broken and Scary nightmare access. Isolated. Scary nightmare access. Unmade track for miles. Cannot see pot-holes when wet and dark. I am not allowed to include the bellicose correspondence from the hotel management. So, this is my second version that excludes quoting the nasty belligerent emails to my initial feedback. The rough track to this old place is dangerous! Only suitable for Jeeps and maybe buses with very big wheels. When raining, all the holes are full of water and not visible. In front of our car, which bucked and weaved to traverse this nightmare route on a wet night, a motor-cyclist hit one of these concealed holes and fell off and nearly went over the edge. It is NOT a road! No wonder the hotel is mostly empty. This place is trying to capitalise on its past colonial glory of the 19th century, when there may have been a safe road. A cold unwelcoming place. Some staff were attentive and the room and food were ok. Having made my serious mistake of booking for 3 nights, we were stuck there until we escaped on the third day in daylight. There are many superb hotels in Sri Lanka. This was the worst of my trip. Never again! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angelika 8 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### tolles refugium ein wunderbares hotel in fantastischer umgebung. ruhig, sehr freundliches personal. absolut zu empfehlen. ##### Angelika Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Diana 11 Apr 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Superb location in heart of tea country This hotel was an actual governor’s mansion (hence the name), set in a stunning landscape of working tea plantations. The road to get to the hotel is rough, but I saw it as part of the adventure of arriving at what felt like an oasis. The rooms are a little dated, especially with the low-pressure showers, but are clean and comfortable. Our room had a view over the gorgeous gardens, which are really a credit to the care taken by the staff. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1136-p00401c10-3dd5-11e8-90f5-02426f8ac431-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Diana ### 6/10 Okay #### Dr Michael 11 Feb 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service Magisk lokalisation mitt i ett teplantage med fantastisk utsikt milslångt.

To get here, though, one must be prepared for zig zags, switchbacks, cliffs perched high, steep and narrow, one road-head on-near collisions, whiplashes thru traffic and small towns. We had a fantastic staff and service that felt like you're own personal butlers. Every comfort is their personal mission. Adorned in British decor, but modern conveniences, we felt like royalty in our fantasied family home. What a special place! Favorite to do's with our 4 kids ages 17, 15, 13 and 9 years: Tea Trails, Tennis, Biking, Tea Leaves Picking, Fishing, High Tea, Board Games and Fabulous Meals ... Tea production, exports and laborers congregate and dominate the area. Tea planting by smallholders is the source of employment for thousands while it is also the main form of livelihoods for tens and thousands of families here in the region. Sri Lanka is the world's fourth-largest producer of tea. ##### christine Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lise Lotte 13 Feb 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely place. Highly recommendable. e to a misunderstanding with the driver, we arrived slightly irritated and tired after a very long drive on small dumpy roads. It only took 10 min and a warm welcome from the staff at The Governor’s Mansion to shake that feeling off. We had a lovely stay of 2 nights in February 2016\. The whole place oozed of old British style and a feeling of being a welcome quest. Note that all drinks are included in the price. The surroundings are picturesque with the tea growing all around. We hope to be back !!! ##### Lise Lotte ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 19 Jan 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Helt fantastisk midt i en te-plantasje. 1,5 times kjøring til Adams Peak. Fantastisk service! ##### Verified traveller ### 2/10 Terrible #### GERALD 18 Jan 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Avoid Lovely location but it's the worst managed hotel I have ever come across. ##### GERALD ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike, California 22 Aug 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### This hotel could be our vacation destination My wife and I love to travel and experience new things every time we do. For that reason, we rarely visit the same city twice and we NEVER stay at the same hotel twice. However, the Governor's Mansion is one place that we would make sure and come back to the next time we visit Sri Lanka. The grounds were beautiful and peaceful and the staff treated us like royalty. Our stay at the Governor's Mansion was like a vacation within a vacation. Our only regret was that we did not stay longer. Our 4 star rating for room comfort was only due to the firmness of the mattress, however that seems to be very common throughout Sri Lanka. But the room was immaculate and had all the amenities that made our stay a 5 star experience. ##### Mike ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 29 Apr 2019 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 9 Dec 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Langdale Boutique Hotel by Amaya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amaya-Langdale-Nuwara-Eliya.h5280996.Hotel-Information) > > [VICTORIA GOLF RESORT SRI LANKA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Victoria-Golf-And-Country-Resort.h15895682.Hotel-Information) > > [Capsule Hotels Milan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Milan-Capsule-Hotels.d180012-aaCapsuleHotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in El Gouna](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Gouna-Hotels.d11947.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [B&B Northumberland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Northumberland-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d6046225-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Torel 1884 Suites & Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Porto-Hotels-Torel-1884-Suites-Apartments.h31734275.Hotel-Information) > > [Occidental Paradise Dambulla](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kandalama-Hotels-Occidental-Paradise-Dambulla.h8360229.Hotel-Information) > > [Malabar Hill](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Welipitiya-Hotels-Malabar-Hill.h38893995.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritance Kandalama](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kandalama-Hotels-Heritance-Kandalama.h1526814.Hotel-Information) > > [Uga Jungle Beach - Trincomalee](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jungle-Beach-By-Uga-Escapes.h7754814.Hotel-Information) > > [Santani Wellness Kandy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santani-Wellness-Resort-Spa.h15440298.Hotel-Information) > > [Wattura Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wennappuwa-Hotels-Wattura-Resort-And-Spa.h33621862.Hotel-Information) > > [Thotalagala](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haputale-Hotels-Thotalagala.h35771158.Hotel-Information) > > [Gal Oya Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gal-Oya-Lodge.h12662912.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Liechtenstein](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Liechtenstein.d11405.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Hotels near Hardraw Force](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hardraw-Force-Hotels.0-l6088181-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Church of Saint James the Greater Apostle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Church-Of-Saint-James-The-Greater-Apostle-Hotels.0-l6223844-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Coconut Grove](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coconut-Grove-Miami-Hotels.0-n11937-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Belfast City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belfast-City-Centre-Belfast-Hotels.0-n6200265-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Avaana By SpringHills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Avaana-By-SpringHills.h21123453.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from London (LON-All Airports) to Gaziantep (GZT-Oguzeli Intl.)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lon/gzt/london-to-gaziantep) > > [Flights from Birmingham (BHX) to Norwich (NWI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhx/nwi/birmingham-to-norwich) > > [Flights from London (LHR-Heathrow) to Islamabad (ISB-Islamabad Intl.)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/isb/london-to-islamabad) > > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Erpedu (TIR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/tir/manchester-to-tirupati) ### Packages > [Chefchaouen Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chefchaouen.d6125502.Holidays-City-Breaks) ---
