Located 1.3 km from Kada Panaha Tank, Corner Cottage - Anuradhapura offers accommodation with a terrace, as well as a garden. It is set 1.9 km from Kumbichchan Kulama Tank and offers a 24-hour front desk. The guest house provides rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. My stay at Corner Cottage will remain a positive memory of my time in Sri Lanka. Gihan and his wife truly care for all of their guests, looking after their wellbeing and also allowing for independence and privacy. It felt to nice to be well cared for, especially when traveling alone. Gihan can help arrange tours and activities and will take you himself in his Tuk Tuk when available. They have bikes for hire and I enjoyed riding all around Anuradhapura a couple of times. Their food is amazing! In the past they owned a restaurant and it shows. A huge variety and the best food I’ve had in Sri Lanka. I am gluten intolerant and they were very accommodating to my diet. You can tell they care a lot about their business, investing in it and caring for their clients. Extend your stay, you won’t regret it. There’s much to see In Anuradhapura and you’ll not want to leave Corner Cottage.

This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The homestay provides lake views, a picnic area and a 24-hour front desk. Next to the fact that this place is just incredible and you should not doubt any second to stay here because of the beautiful surroundings. But most importantly Gamini and his family are making your stay so incredibly worth it. They are the kindest people in Sri Lanka we have met and took such good care of us. While I was being very ill the family went out all the way to take care of me or to drive me to the hospital.. It was just too kind. Another big thank you here for all their help. I can't describe how grateful we are and how happy we are that we stayed at their place.
