The main 1960s house of this lovely homestyle inn is set in a tree-shaded yard complete with fairy lights, parasol seating and an old horse cart. Dated if fair-sized standard rooms overlook a lotus-filled canal, while boutique-style 'deluxe' rooms include a few prizes with balconies. Most appealing is the genuinely warm and empathetic service.
Hosts treat many guests like part of the family, and may show you their fascinating old photos – ‘granddad’ was a British-era mayor of Mandalay. A full traditional Burmese multidish dinner is served by advance arrangement. It's rather far from the centre, but bicycle hire is available. Bring mosquito repellent.
