Clouds Holiday Bungalow Haputhale Reviews

Nice

We spent three wonderful days in Haputale enjoying the beautiful views of the tea fields and the clouds. The Clouds Holiday Bungalow is a spacious, cozy house with four rooms, including a living room where we read, drank tea, played the piano and enjoyed the views in the afternoon. The owner provided us with homecooked meals for breakfast and dinner, which were some of the best food we had in Sri Lanka, and helped negotiate a fair price for the car we hired to take us to Galle. We certainly enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back sometime.

Up a very narrow road from Haputale, at the end of the road and surrounded by mist lies this tiny guest house with four rooms. We were the only guests the first night so it was very quiet. On a clear hour, the view is lovely, but most of the time we were surrounded by mystical mist--hence the appropriate name. The caretakers spoke very little English, were very friendly, but had not cleaned the room very well since the last guests. We had to ask for soap. Twice I was asked about payment, and both times I showed documentation that I had already paid. There was a wardrobe with a few hangers and an old-style small safe. The bed was OK. You can walk about one km to the nearest restaurant and cafe. Breakfast is served on the premises. The garden is lovely!
