Kandy Cottage is a charming and cosy place of retreat for writers and artists, and also welcomes regular holiday makers.
It has the best of both worlds: it nestles in a little hollow adjoining the Udawatte-Kelle forest sanctuary, but is only ten minutes' walk from the historic city of Kandy - the cultural capital of Sri Lanka.
The Cottage is wired throughout with broad band internet access; and the facilities range from laundry to laser printing. What's more, the pricing is unbelievably low compared to similar places in Sri Lanka.
