The room was very clean. The caretaker, Raja, was very pleasant. Overall, it was a great experience.
The ramp to the Car park is a bit too steep for cars with shorter ride heights.

Good
The location is perfect where you can reach other places easily. Hot water in the bathroom perfectly functioning.
The bad smell of the canal running close to the property cannot bearable. we cannot open the window for fresh air.
The cool fresh milk pack in the tea making facility won't workable when you want to make a hot cup of tea - (need to replace for creamer packets)
I have informed the owner about the maindoor defects, I hope that will be rectified for the next visitor.

Great staff. Always ready to help. Changed sheets cleaned up after us took care of us and always helped us out when we had difficulties in the country. Amazing place. Also an amazing initiative by Ms Gihani Rajapaksa. Our trip wouldn't have being as smooth without Big House. Would recommend going to Big House over another place.
