  Amazing food and a beautiful hotel

  We didn't actually stay at the hotel, but we spent a lot of time here as we had family staying here at the time. The rooms were spacious and tastefully decorated and the common areas of the hotel are beautifully done and very comfortable! The food at the Sun House is so delicious - we had my favourite curries of the trip here. The staff who work here are one of a kind too - so helpful and lovely and welcoming. I would definitely stay at The Sun House if ever I were back in Galle - not least because of the fruit bats and monkeys hanging out in the trees! So special.

  One of our favourite places in the world

  Last week the team at The Sun House and it's neighbour, The Dutch House, hosted 34 of us for 3 nights as well as our wedding (for 85 people). Both houses are filled with charm and colonial heritage and proved to be fabulous backdrops for our wedding and the various Sri Lankan festivities we enjoyed. The food is some of the best you'll ever taste in Sri Lanka. We've been visiting there now for 5 years and never had a bad mouthful. Rukman the manager is a wonderful host, funny and thoughtful, and always there on hand to help - his staff are simply the best in the world. The owner, Geoffrey, is also one in a million with a fascinating personal history of living in SL and supporting Galle's annual literary festival. Not a single guest of ours last week had anything short of a simply idyllic and memorable experience there that they will cherish for a long while yet. We'll be back again as soon as we can!

  Sun House Suppers

  One is spoiled for choice of hotel when touring Sri Lanka, not more so than along the south coast. Incredible old world properties have been modernised and many new ones built in recent years, but few hark back to bygone eras quite so effortlessly or elegantly as these two. Still privately owned, The Dutch House and Sun House are characterful but unique sister hotels (or homes?) a stones throw from each other and the hustle of Galles fort. Mercifully, the colonial masters of these gems are long gone, but waking up in either and being served by their delightful staff who pop up in both is a privilege. There is simply no other way of saying it. Just ask for the remarkably delicious curried scrambled eggs at breakfast. Your room girl might cook it, deliver it then wait patiently for your smile when you try it! The entire staff is as friendly, caring and accommodating as can be. Both homes are stuffed with objet d'art, creaky chairs and dusty books, and both possess real old-world charm. It is everything above and then some which sets these properties apart from their pretenders. Wi-Fi and other nods to modernity are in evidence of course, but so are indispensable smells of the tropics - mothballs and frangipani petals! Whatever you do, dont expect everything to work perfectly or predictably my upside down door lock made me smile, eventually! Read a book, cross the road to the other house for supper, but otherwise just soak it all in and feel lucky youve had a chance to. The hidden swimming pool at the Dutch house is near perfect. Book much less than a week and youll kick yourself.

  Lovely place to hangout with a group

  Was there with friends and family for 2 nights. This was a long waited holiday owing to Covid19 and subsequent lockdown in Sri Lanka. Nice decent accommodation in a very quiet neighbourhood, great staff who looks after the guest very well. Kids loved the place as they had the whole pool to themselves. Good food and overall a decent stay. Will be back soon.
