Ivy Cottage Ahangama

The rooms are so comfortable and cozy. And the restrooms are so aesthetically built. This is the best place to stay in Ahangama. Especially, Dilan sir took great care of us throughout the stay. The staff is so cooperative and friendly. Helped us in literally everything!

I liked everything

Vi uppskattade läget på boendet. Det låg en bit bort från både järnvägen och huvudvägen som gör mycket oljud. Själva boendet var vi supernöjda med. Trevlig personal. Kan absolut rekommendera att stanna här om man ska besöka Ahangama. Vi fick också välja vilket rum vi ville ha när vi kom dit.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. I had a late flight back home, and they let me use the shower and ordered a Transport to the airport!

Had nothing to complain about

An exceptional stay from start to finish. The kindness of the staff is truly remarkable — they are incredibly attentive and always listening to their guests’ needs. The service was excellent, the room was luxurious and very comfortable, and the breakfast was absolutely fantastic. We felt genuinely cared for throughout our stay. Highly recommended!

nothing everything perfect

Ivy Cottage was outstanding!! The staff could not do enough for us!! Breakfast was AMAZING!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Sincere thanks

The room and bathroom

That it was a bit too far from main road

The location was good and room was modernize well, we enjoy our gateway. The room is very clean and neat, we like the design. They are breakfast is very good and tasty 😍 We are so satisfied and very happy for they are services they provide.

They don't have a generator when there's power failure, during our trip there was a power failure when we return back to the hotel after dinner and the reception also was not there so we were bit confused at that time. Just suggesting for improvements , it's better to let us know when there's a power failure and make sure the reception is there. Other than that, our stay was excellent and we enjoyed.

Comfortable bed, and super air-conditioning. The bathtub was a nice addition. The room was nice and spacious.

The hot water wasn't sufficient, and some of the amenities mentioned on the site were not available (hairdryer & kettle).

Nicely designed accommodation close to the beach. The Sri Lankan breakfast is great here! The hosts our really friendly and we were able to rent a scooter for 2000 Rs per day

Relatively expensive

The host and staff were very helpful and were on Constant call if we needed anything.

Great location very close to the beach. Lot of good food joints at a walking distance from the property. Staff were very helpful and always available. Bus stop, railway station just 5 mins aways.

Very new and clean rooms and bathroom. Good quiet aircon.

It’s cute cottage

Not having privacy

Great location, wonderful staff, and very clean. A big plus the bathtub

Without a discount, the price is too high. There’s no shampoo, shower gel, conditioner, or body lotion. The only cover is a thin sheet, with no extra blanket,since the AC is right above the bed, it wasn’t very comfortable. No beach towels are provided, and the breakfast is very basic. I booked this hotel at a discount, and it was great. But at full price, I don’t think it’s worth it.

Great property, it is quite fresh and new. The room and bathroom are spacious, staff were very laid back and helpful at the same time. Charming little cottage just abit inland but close. All the stuff is quite new and the tub is such a nice addition with the hot water. They gave us the room next to the caretakers room, you could literally here his phone buzzing all night and him talking, didn't really care too much but it shouldn't happen in a property such as this. So don't take that room!

Our stay was really nice and comfortable at Ivy Cottage. The location is perfect, walking distance from Kabalana beach and on a nice road. There's space to park if you need to onsite. The room is spacious and really clean, lots of lighting options and great big bathroom with bathtub and hot shower. The wifi is good too. We slept really comfortably every night and generally had a super comfy stay. The kind guys working there are available for communication pretty much 24/7 & they are keen to make the stay comfortable! Laundry was easy to sort and also a room refresh. Breakfast is really delicious & they are flexible to meet your needs & timings. Highly reccomend!

The flies outside are annoying but I that's just outside dining issues! Nothing to put off a stay here.

The staff is super friendly and helpful The bathroom is really nice with bathtub too. Good bed comfy Air conditioning working good Good location near Kabalana beach. Breakfast is OK.

In Sri Lanka, almost everywhere there is no separation between the shower and the rest of the bathroom so the floor is wet most of the time. Making the room a bit humid and shady, not enough windows… They should provide a wiper after showering. No place to hang clothes at all. No warm sheets when air con is on.. You can hear motorbike from the street as it located close to it.

Good service, excellent bathroom, comfortable room

Nice comfortable room and good breakfast.Very friendly staff too.Convieniant access to Ahangama town

No patio (varandah to come out and sit basically ) .If you gonna stay inside room or roam and come for a comfortable sleep this is the best place.Shower room is so comfortable .

Room, design and the service

Breakfast should be improved and the amenities were not replaced apart from that everything else was 10/10

This is simply wonderful stay. Too bad I had to leave shortly because of my work. Villa is a newly built one. Its built in colonial theme, but it has modern luxury added to it to make it super comfortable. Bathroom is just wow... super spacious and had bathtub. Surfing beach is just 2-3 minutes walking distance. Lots of surfers were staying nearby.

The rooms were superb. Clean and comfortable. The toilets were a big plus as it was well maintained and the overall room was good. The breakfast was also quite good especially considering the price. Well worth the stay.

No amenities in the toilet so bring shampoo etc. The rooms are a little closed up as limited light source from out but extremely well lit inside.

This is a new place started with a new management. But the guys know really well how to handle people. Superb hospitality. Villa is newly renovated and all the furniture and bedding are new and comfortable. It has an antique theme, but comfy with modern stuff. Bathroom is nice and equipped with bathtub. Villa is near to the surfing beach. Just walking 5 minutes.

We had a fantastic stay at this villa! The colonial architecture mixed with modern amenities is stunning. Everything looks brand new. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The beach is just a 5-minute walk, and there are lot of surf spots nearby. The rooms are super cozy, with modern bathrooms and bathtubs that were perfect for relaxing after a long day.

Nothing much to say..

We loved our stay in Ivy Cottage. It is very nicely built in colonial theme. Architecture is unique and very nicely designed. Accommodation was very comfortable with luxury bedding and bathrooms. Staff was very helpful and attentive. They have done a good job keeping the place very clean. Security is good as Ivy Cottage is in the middle of tourism area and staff available all the time. Surf spot is 5 minutes walk away. I will definitely return again if coming back to Sri Lanka.

Nothing to complain... Just watch for the rainy days if you are coming for surfing.

Newly built. Great bedroom and bathroom

Parking can be little difficult. But I had a longer vehicle.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful villa! The property is newly built with colonial architecture that perfectly complements the tropical surroundings. It's just a short, pleasant walk to the beach, which was a huge plus, as I'm a surf enthusiasts. Lot of surf instructors around too. With several prime surf spots nearby, it felt like a paradise for surfers. The location is ideal, situated in a popular tourist area with easy access to local attractions, restaurants, and activities. Despite being in the heart of a bustling area, we felt very safe thanks to the villa's improved security features, which gave us peace of mind throughout our stay. I highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a relaxing yet adventurous getaway close to everything you need. We can’t wait to return!

Rooms are really clean, new and modern. The bathroom was so nice with both shower and tub. Nice host and also good location.

When we stayed here outside area were still under construction but it’s gonna be really nice place ones this is all done.

the breakfast can be better

The personal was very friendly! And the room is very clean and comfortable

Dinuka tried his best during my stay and gave me a lift to my next accomodation the breakfast was pleasant Dinuka is very kind to provide water

I wrote that i would be arriving to the property at 2.40pm which was acknowledged, however when i arrived there was no one. there was no staff til more than an hour later. The locks on the doors were shoddy, so a stranger/man broke into my room at 7am on Jan 1, 2024. which gave me a huge shock as i was travelling alone. There were a lot of flies in the room Cold showers for my entire stay, even though i asked the staff to please look into fixing the water heater You can hear your neighbours very clearly even with ear plugs. The doors do not shut silently as well The wifi was almost non existent Some lights were broken The window sills were really dirty Difficult to have air ventilation unless you open your front door When you take a shower there isn't a shower door, so your bathroom gets wet. Making the room have a damp smell. No soaps provided The bathtub was dirty

BEWARE OF THEFT: Took two rooms for 3 days and had theft of personal jewellery in both rooms which were locked by us when we were away. No CCTV or anything to help investigate. Very devastating experience.

Great place very near Kabalana beach. Dinuka the manager is super kind and extremely helpful person, always ready to go extra mile to make your stay exceptional.

Very clean, spacious room and bathroom. modern architecture style with comfortable interiors a short walk to the beach

there’s no generator to be used during power cuts. a bit lonely in the night since the caretakers don’t live on the property - so would recommend it for either couples or groups. no bottled water so would recommend taking your own

stunning. so clean and finished perfect such a comfortable room very private also

the staff weren’t around too easy to contact and no one was available for breakfast the wifi was weak but it wasn’t a problem for me

Great place to stay, very clean and comfortable. Owner was lovely.

Apartment is very fresh and stylish. Breakfast was on another cafe, they pick & drop with tuk-tuk and it was great

We don't like to use air-con. We trying to use only fan. Although this aircon was new, even the most slowest fan mode was too fast and noisy for us. As ceilings are not very high, there is less of air and it was not comfortable to sleep with fan mode. If you use air-con it may be fine. They were still on construction mode, therefore backyard was noting to do. If you spend all time out than it is ok choice

Good price/quality level, friendly staff. Breakfast was not inside the stay but this would be arrange on short term.

Unfortunately no local breakfast as per our request.

Rooms and interior

Cloth rack and cupboard were not there. Water not provided - Atleast one water bottle.

We only needed a comfortable clean place to stay for the night, and this place met our requirements. An old house very nicely refurbished and i think we were their first booking and there was no stay in housekeeping person but the admin. staff was just a call away. The kitchen was still under construction so breakfast was a 5 min. tuk ride arranged by the housekeeping. Overall a good comfortable place and value for money.

Parking could be a bit tricky for a big vehicle, better call them before to see how parking can be arranged.
