Location
Kandy is Sri Lanka's hill country capital, where tropical heat is exchanged for cooler mountain slopes. Castle Hill Guest House enjoys a privileged position above Kandy Lake, with the Temple of the Tooth in full view and has long been a favoured haunt for the budget traveller with a sense of the past. A footpath near to Castle Hill offers a short cut to the lake -- only 10 minutes for the fleet of foot.
Introduction
Castle Hill Guest House has barely changed in 30 years -- a lick of paint here, a small repair or update there. The result for the budget traveller has traditionally been a much-loved family home resonant of a simpler, less demanding era. "To change Castle Hill would be to ruin it, the old look has to remain," says Ayoni Senanayake. That atmosphere still suits some, but more demanding clients, seeking a modern, "boutique" atmosphere or attentive standards of service, should look elsewhere. Standards of cleanliness for instance, can be particularly inconsistent and the family dogs are also not always appreciated.

Meal times are flexible, with any dinner orders agreed at breakfast and drinks available on request. A rambling lounge has a TV area, a small library, a piano, several sitting areas and two dining tables. Laundry can also be arranged on request.

Excursions
Explore the city of Kandy, steeped in history and culture. Walk around the tranquil Kandy Lake and enroute, visit the Temple of the Tooth where a sacred tooth relic of the Lord Buddha is enshrined since 4th Century A.D. The temple has decorative walls, a golden roof and fine woodwork. Religious services (pooja) are held daily at dawn, mid-day, and in the evening where guests can participate. The services are accompanied with traditional music and drumming. We also recommend a visit to Peradeniya's Royal Botanical Gardens with over 60 hectares of tranquil, immaculately designed lawns, borders, pavilions and plant houses; nature walks in Udawatte Kelle Forest Reserve; and Kandy's rich ancient arts and crafts including drum making, Dumbara mat waving, and crafting Kandyan jewelry.

Note: Castle Hill guest house does not offer drivers' quarters. If you book Castle Hill as part of a tour, your driver will be booked in Kandy town for a small supplement.
