I had a lovely stay at the Old Frankland Kandy Luxury Boutique Hotel, which is a charming old plantation house offering stunning views of the surrounding hills. While the location is a bit remote and the access road is steep, the adventure was part of the charm. The staff was exceptionally friendly, and I enjoyed delicious homemade meals during my stay. However, the hotel does need some maintenance, particularly in terms of cleanliness and upkeep in certain areas.
