Notting Hill Country House

We stayed here for two nights. It’s a small hotel only minutes from the lake and other attractions. It’s in quiet a built-up area, which we weren’t expecting, but it was on the hill with the lake in the distance so weren’t disappointed. Plenty of amazing birdlife could be spotted from the balconies in the surrounding trees. We enjoyed the breakfast on the terrace and was embarrassed by the amount of food. We tried to order less the following day, but still ended up with the same amount. We booked a room facing Kandy Lake and where upgraded to the family room, which was lovely. However, we found the room very smoky, especially the bathroom, from the neighbors incinerating rubbish. It effected my sinuses and eyes badly, so if you have a reaction to smoke, I suggest booking a lake facing room, even though it’s smaller. Also, if you are looking forward to a cool drink on the balcony after checking in, please ask your driver to stop at a supermarket just before you arrive to pick some up, because you can’t buy anything from the hotel. We really enjoyed watching the birds from the balcony late in the afternoon. If we are back in Kandy we would defiantly stay at Nottinghill Country House again, but just make sure we are in a room away from the smoke.
