An intriguing new accommodation option, Littlemore Estate is a 50-hectare coconut plant-
ation bordered by paddy fields and woodland with a healthy local peacock population.
There are three very tastefully presented modern rooms, and staff will show you around
the estate and explain all about coconut harvesting. Meals are traditional Sri Lankan.
It's 9km northwest of Kurunegala, the turnoff is at the village of Pellandeniya on the
A10 highway.
