Harran and his team were very excellent and efficient. They are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast had plenty of choices. Authentic Sri Lankan /Western Breakfast with exotic fruits/juice. They also provide good lunch /dinner at reasonable cost, if you would to have home cooked meal. It is located in very convenient place opposite to the famous Nallur temple. It was fascinating hearing the history of the residence.. Very much enjoyed the stay. We are coming here since 2017 as feel like home to home. We will come back again. Thanks Haran for your hospitality

Our stay at Berty’s Cottage was outstanding. Berty and Hilda are wonderful people really helpful with anything we needed, train, tuk tuk & tours before and after we arrived. Food was delicious as we requested genuine Sri Lankan and my husband got great cooking tips in the kitchen with dinner. They even packed our breakfast because we had a very early departure. The accommodation and their home is very clean and we felt welcome in all living areas. Thank you Berty and Hilda for a wonderful visit to Jaffna.

I & wife stayed for 4 nights. The room is clean & equipped with all the essentials like an air-conditioner, clean bathroom, and hot shower. The room is quite small in size with a table and dressing table. The place is packed with facilities. Ample, secure car park, Wi-Fi, small kitchen ideal for making tea or coffee, filter water, and also a washing machine ( we didn’t use it). If you are looking for a place for 1 - 2 night stay for a price range of 5,000 rupees Nallur Holidays Inn would suit you well.
