Reviewed Mar 21, 2026The location of this hotel was amazing ..deep in the jungle Monkeys are literally outside the door, and the tour of the plantation fascinating Daily yoga Food is very good Staff beyond charming

Reviewed Feb 26, 2026This is a beautiful small hotel, set in a secluded valley surrounded by a tea plantation. What a perfect stopover after a long flight and our only regret was not staying longer. Everything about Rosyth is personal and nothing is too much trouble. The food was simply delicious and we much enjoyed our estate walk and visit to the tea factory. We loved our stay.
Nothing at all - but keep an eye on the monkeys!

Reviewed Feb 24, 2026Das Rosyth ist eine wunderschön gelegene Anlage mit allen Bequemlichkeiten, die man sich nur wünschen kann. Es liegt mitten in der Natur, alles ist grün und üppig. Die geräumigen Zimmer sind super geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Das Essen ist hervorragend. Besonders genossen haben wir den Nachmittag in der Tea-Factory und den Estate-Walk. Viel gelernt über die Tee-Verarbeitung und Rubber-Trees. Farzana und Neill sind tolle Gastgeber - wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Danke.

Reviewed Jan 7, 2026We spent 3 nights, just relaxing, doing yoga, eating really well, enjoying cooking classes, estate walks and a thorough introduction to their tea plantation. The owner couple is really friendly, the staff are very attentive, the food is amazing and the property is absolutely gorgeous, nestled on a hill side, in the jungle, surrounded by birds and daily greetings with monkeys passing by.

Reviewed Oct 26, 2025Wow, what a stunning place. Beautifully presented and incredibly peaceful, our family room was divine; the food really was delicious and the staff were beyond helpful. The morning yoga was as heavenly and zen as the foot massage on arrival. We had a truly fascinating time touring the tea plantation with Isuru (he’s absolutely amazing) and stayed and chatted to the tea pickers for hours. Totally wonderful.
Not everything on the wine list was available- that is literally the only comment I can make that isn’t perfect about Rosyth.

All of the staff were a delight with our children. The food was delicious, amazing curry and rice and dahl! And the breakfast was a great variety. We had the opportunity to have a tour around the estate and also see the tea factory where they sort the leaves. Really enjoyed the experience.

Reviewed Jul 31, 2024Beautiful stay in the middle of the forest. The property owners were very friendly and welcoming as well as the staff that were always very helpful. The food was amazing and gives you the perfect experience of the sri Lanka authentic food. They also offer complimentary foot massage to welcome their guests and yoga class every morning! They have a non for profit tea factory and took us on a visit to the factory with a guide that explained every step of the process for free! Very calm and relaxing place and highly recommended for families!

Reviewed Jan 17, 2024We had a brilliant 3 days at Roysth Estate! It was the last leg on our 2 week trip with out 18 month old around Sri Lanka and certainly the highlight! So many thoughtful details such as a baby monitor set up in our room and placing us close to the action so we could allow Arthur to nap whilst we were by the pool! The food was insanely good and the tea factory tour was fascinating! The staff were all so accommodating and delightful with out son. He was so well looked after and became a huge fan of hoppers and roti! Neil and Farzana were fabulous hosts and made you feel at home instantly- when we arrived it felt more like arriving to a family party than a hotel! The rooms were lovely and the whole hotel has been decorated in such a thoughtful and tasteful manner. The spa was also brilliant- the complimentary foot massage on arrival was very welcome after a long drive! Would highly recommend to anyone, especially as its only just over 2 hours from the airport so makes an ideal place to get over jetlag or top off a trip!
Nothing- was fab!
