Located 1.3 km from Kada Panaha Tank, Corner Cottage - Anuradhapura offers accommodation with a terrace, as well as a garden. It is set 1.9 km from Kumbichchan Kulama Tank and offers a 24-hour front desk. The guest house provides rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. My stay at Corner Cottage will remain a positive memory of my time in Sri Lanka. Gihan and his wife truly care for all of their guests, looking after their wellbeing and also allowing for independence and privacy. It felt to nice to be well cared for, especially when traveling alone. Gihan can help arrange tours and activities and will take you himself in his Tuk Tuk when available. They have bikes for hire and I enjoyed riding all around Anuradhapura a couple of times. Their food is amazing! In the past they owned a restaurant and it shows. A huge variety and the best food I’ve had in Sri Lanka. I am gluten intolerant and they were very accommodating to my diet. You can tell they care a lot about their business, investing in it and caring for their clients. Extend your stay, you won’t regret it. There’s much to see In Anuradhapura and you’ll not want to leave Corner Cottage.

Towels and bed linen are available in the homestay. The accommodation is allergy-free.

Kumbichchan Kulama Tank is 3.5 km from the homestay, while Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi is 3.8 km from the property. Sigiriya Airport is 71 km away. The owner and his right hand Shiran who were just amazing and will say yes to everything you need! Amazing people! Got lemon juice and the most yummy sugar lemon roti for welcome drinks, they made us feel at home. The location was perfect, out of the hustle and bustle of the town and close enough to be close to all the attractions. Nice big room, comfy bed, hot water (hot /cold water in different pipes) but you can shower with only the hot. Clean and really just perfect. Stay here!

Situated within 11 km of Pidurangala Rock and 12 km of Sigiriya Rock in Habarana, Oleena Home Stay offers accommodation with seating area. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, full-day security and currency exchange for guests. I spent three nights at Oleena Homestay and had an amazing experience. Jeewa provided great recommendations for things to do in the area, helped organise transport, and even took me on a day trip to Pidurangala and Dambulla in his tuk tuk. The home-cooked meals by Masha were absolutely delicious — a perfect introduction to Sri Lankan cuisine. The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. Jeewa and Masha truly went above and beyond to take care of their guests. I would highly recommend this homestay to anyone visiting Habarana and the surrounding area. Thank you, Jeewa, Masha, and Oleena, for welcoming me into your beautiful homestay and for your incredible hospitality!
