Goatfell

Having read reviews of the Teardrop properties we chose to spend Christmas as a family at Goatfell. We had extremely high expectations and were still blown away! From Christmas Eve canapés around the fire pit to the most delicious hoppers on Christmas morning (they were the best on our whole trip). A tea infused dinner on Christmas Day, hikes, bikes, beauty and escapism, Goatfell offers the most spoiling, relaxing retreat. Thank you to all the team, Deva and all the others who made our Christmas so special, and thank you to the chefs for some of the best food. If you are thinking of booking - do it now. It’s small and if you want to be spoilt in the most beautiful location - you will be

Simply amazing—I truly can't find the words to fully describe how we felt during our stay at Goatfell. The best way I can express it is this: we felt like newborn babies, lovingly cared for by parents. Your team was more than just staff; they felt like our guardians, ensuring our comfort and happiness every moment of the day. From the moment we woke up until we went to sleep, the Goatfell team was there, attentively taking care of our every need. As a hotelier myself, I strive to secure the best experiences for my friends and family when I travel and can be quite particular. Yet, Goatfell exceeded every expectation and left no stone unturned. It was simply the best experience I’ve had. Every single team member deserves commendation for their dedication and warmth. Thank you once again for making our stay unforgettable.

WOW! I can't begin to describe how much we loved our time here! I was travelling just with my twins (aged 10) and we had the best time - the food is literally sensational and the rooms are divine. Comfy beds, incredible food, the best service of any hotel I have ever been to and the most unbelievable peace - the silence was unreal. We had lit fires in the evening, laundry done, and hot water bottles in our beds - this is truly the best hotel I have ever been to and we met the loveliest people. I would give this hotel ten stars!

Fantastic place to stay. Arranged through Trailfinders UK, who deal with all our bookings for our trip to Sri Lanka. The staff were amazing, the hotel was fantastic and the views breathtaking. This was booked as a full "all inclusive" deal, and was well worth every penny. We were given a "tracker" phone for one of the several local walks that were available to us. They even did some free laundry for us, with it all back later the same day. Couldn't fault the place at all.

Down a long drive, not for the faint hearted, we arrived at Goatfell, a true home from home style hotel, with only 4 guest rooms. Our room was beautiful and included a lovely cot for our 9 month daughter. The location is quite remote so we spent the 2 days walking and relaxing in the grounds, rather than driving reasonable distances to local activities. The food was incredible and offered a great selection of local delicacies as well as international dishes. We love the fact that lots of the vegetables and herbs were grown in their gardens. The staff were all wonderful, welcoming and very happy to help with any request… including washing numerous bottles for our daughter. We would certainly recommend Goatfell to anyone wanting a relaxing break surrounded by beautiful scenery.

What an incredible experience. From the moment you arrive, you are enveloped in the most beautiful, serene surroundings. The inside of the bungalow is calm and comfortable with a roaring log fire, comfy blankets, and an array of delicious food and drinks. Outside changes all the time, sitting on the veranda watching the clouds move over the mountains can pass the hours away. It is a very special place, the staff, Deva, Askar, and Chef Pradeep are attentive and nothing is too much trouble. I can't wait to come back, two nights was not enough. I travelled here with my 17 year old daughter and 11 year old.son, both enjoyed it as much as I did.
