Accommodation at this rural idyll consists of basic but clean rooms in the main house and a handful of comfortable, vaguely alpine-style cottages in the gardens. There’s a small lake on the grounds; wildlife abounds, including iguanas and peacocks. The owners are a welcoming Swiss–Sri Lankan couple.
