The Farm Resorts

On Hatton’s Castlereagh Reservoir, this 4-star guesthouse sits right by the lake — about 0.1 mi from the water and a short drive from Christ Church Warleigh. It’s a handy base for waterfall hunters and highlands trekkers, with Devon Falls, Aberdeen and Laxapana Falls, and Adam’s Peak all within easy reach.

An intimate, boutique-feel guesthouse with just a couple of rooms. Expect refrigerators, LCD TVs and minibars in-room, separate sitting areas and private bathrooms stocked with toiletries and slippers. Daily housekeeping keeps things tidy. The property also has a terrace and garden for chill downtime.

Onsite massages and a spa center set the tone for relaxed stays. Rent a bicycle, fire up the barbecue, or picnic by the lake. There’s a playroom for kids, tour/ticket assistance for local excursions, and a roundtrip airport shuttle available for a surcharge. Free self parking is on the property.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. The guesthouse offers express check-in and check-out, dry cleaning and laundry services, and luggage storage.

An onsite restaurant and bar serve lunch and dinner, with room service during limited hours. English breakfasts are offered daily from 7:30 AM to 10:00 AM for a fee. There’s also a barbecue area for more casual, lakeside meals.
