    We had a great time at the Blinkbonnie Inn, we had great views and a great room. The staff were so friendly, helpful and were able to accommodate our requests and went above and beyond in some cases! We had breakfast at Blinkbonnie most days and...

    Lovely terrace restaurant with view over the city. Exceptionally friendly staff who helped organise trips for us. Delicious food.
  • Jacob

    The room was spacious and clean. Staff friendly and helpful. They were flexible with us too - letting us check in early and arranging our breakfast earlier than the start time (and it was delicious). Helping guests out makes a big difference.

    Breakfast was amazing and host was really friendly. A little out of Kandy centre but great views of the lake and city.

    Our stay in Blinkbonnie was really nice. The room was clean and comfortable with a nice balcony. People working there were friendly and helpful. We had good breakfast at the terrace with nice view of Kandy.

Property information

Situated in the heart of Kandy, Blinkbonnie Inn is a warm, relaxed place perfectly suited for you as it prides itself with the best views in Kandy. You will believe it after you have your breakfast in the view-point restaurant, overlooking the beauty of Kandy. Encompassing twenty rooms in two unique buildings all situated on the same beautiful property in a quiet area of Kandy. We offer a personal service that only a very small, family-owned and managed, guest house and boutique hotel can give. From this retreat, guests can stroll to the city and explore around. All this combined with their outstanding service and traditional hospitality for 30 years makes Blinkbonnie Inn a great place to stay in Kandy. Enjoy your stay in one of our beautiful rooms, each with a private bath, luxury bedding and a balcony with views to the mountain and Kandy lake. The view point restaurant has 180' views of Kandy lake and Temple and mountain ranges. You can enjoy a lovely cup of world famous Sri Lankan tea in the mornings watching playful monkeys passing by as well as a beautiful array of tropical and migrating birds, a great way to begin your day.

Neighbourhood information

Some days Kandy’s skies seem perpetually bruised, with stubborn mist clinging to the hills surrounding the city’s beautiful centrepiece lake. Delicate hill-country breezes impel the mist to gently part, revealing colourful houses and hotels amid Kandy’s improbable forested halo. In the centre of town, three-wheelers careen around slippery corners, raising a soft spray that threatens the softer silk of the colourful saris worn by local women. Here’s a city that looks good even when it’s raining.
