Blinkbonnie Inn

We were walking around the Arthurs Seat looking for a place that had a beer with a view. We stumbled across Blinkbonnie and it was exactly what we were looking for. Great food with good prices, cold beer and the best view in Kandy from the balcony!

My husband and I had a great two-night stay here. The owner was incredibly welcoming, and provided us with helpful advice; he did not try to encourage us to hire guides and drivers that we didn't need, and made recommendations that allowed us to maximize our time in Kandy. The hotel has a nice view of Kandy and the lake, but is a bit of a walk from the heart of town. Our room was extremely comfortable and well-furnished, and was immaculate. Breakfast here was very generous and tasty. WiFi was strong. We would absolutely stay again, and even recommended it to other travelers headed to Kandy.

Magnificent views of the Kandy skyline, although we stayed for only one night at the Blinkbonnie Inn, the owner and his family welcomed us warmly, we were treated to a delicious home cooked meal of noodles, dhal and mouth watering mango curry. Our room was comfortable and a/c gave us a good nights sleep. We had no difficulty in travelling via car from Sigiriya, and although fuel prices have increased the Sri Lankan people continue to try and live their lives, as normal please don’t be put off by political unrest, the protests were peaceful in Colombo and we haven’t experience any unrest since. This beautiful country needs our tourism to survive after the economic challenges over the last few years.
