We came for dinner, the food was amazing and the staff were really nice to accommodate our needs (don’t forget to book in advance!). We had a buffet-style dinner with a soup, rice and different sides (dal, veg, chicken), fruits, tea. The owner also played the guitar and sang for us. I recommend it to everyone who looks for a nice, authentic Sri Lankan experience!
Highly recommend. Close enough to town but also away from the hustle and bustle, just up from the lake. Owners are fantastic and the decor is brilliant; truly gorgeous old 1940s style furniture. Nice comfy beds. Balcony to sit on. Our room had a brand new bathroom with a great shower. Lovely breakfast. We even had a jam on guitar with the owner in the evening.
I had a lovely stay at Sharon Inn. My room was on the top floor and had a balcony with great views, very quiet and comfortable. Everything worked fine except for the WiFi, but I guess that's Sri Lanka in general. The owner was kind and accommodating, the last day he even sang and played the guitar for me, one of my favourite songs from the Beatles, and he has a lovely voice. Definitely recommend staying here if you are looking for some peace, away from the hectic touristy area of town. They also have a restaurant serving local dishes.
Despite the fact we didn't reserve a table, all the stops were pulled to give us one of the best meals we have had in Sri Lanka. Great guitar entertainment from the owner! Thank you! Caroline
One of the best meal experiences I’ve ever had! We had to reserve in advance because everything is home cooked and fresh for the day, and it was absolutely worth it. The meal was massive, offering unlimited helpings of everything. We started with soup and moved on to rice, dal, chicken, and an incredible spread of over 15 different vegetables. The homemade lemonade was also delicious and a perfect accompaniment. Beyond the food, the atmosphere is so homely. The hosts and staff are warm and lovely people. We even ended the night jamming on the guitar and singing along with the host. A truly special evening that I can't recommend enough.
