Orr's Hill House
About
Orr's Hill House in Sri Lanka stands at 26 Lower Rd, Trincomalee, on the island's north-east coast. Trincomalee sits well away from the southern beach circuit that runs through Galle, Mirissa, Unawatuna, Bentota and Arugam Bay, and from the hill capital at Kandy. The hotel operates as a hotel, with a 4 out of 5 average across 20 reviews.
What the venue is known for rests on that score and on its position in Trincomalee, a coastal city with its own harbour and beaches. First-time visitors can expect a base on the north-east coast, where the weather runs on a different pattern from the south.
The southwest monsoon brings rain from about May to September, and the northeast monsoon from October to January, so the two coasts alternate their wet seasons. Theravada Buddhism is the main religion of Sri Lanka, and full-moon Poya days are public holidays, which affects opening hours at many places.
Blue whales and dolphins are seen off the south coast, and sea turtles nest on several beaches.
