What an incredible find! I stayed at Astoria Cottage last week and it was the highlight of my trip. It has all the charm you'd hope for, combined with professional service that rivals luxury hotels. If you want a place that feels like a home away from home but with 5-star treatment, this is it.Thank you team Astoria❤️🙏

Scenic tea plantations aplenty.

Scenic tea plantations aplenty. We visited Labookellie Tea Factory to understand tea production a bit more. Also visit a small strawberry farm which do not offer plucking so bigger outfit would be a better experience. NE was our rest stop for Horton Plains but Ohiya is a shorter ride there. Plus the road up from Ohiya side is a lot less bumpy and U zip through giant pine forests, a more beautiful experience from going via Pattipola entrance.

What I liked most of Nuwara Eliya was naturally the cool climate. Unfortunately I had to cut short our stay by one night due to an emergency. I look forward to spending a bit more time and enjoying Nuwara Eliya.

Nuwara Eliya’s weather is quite different from most of Sri...

Nuwara Eliya’s weather is quite different from most of Sri Lanka due to its high elevation. Unlike the tropical heat in the lowlands, it has a cool, misty, and unpredictable climate. Temperatures can drop below 10°C at night, and rain showers are common even during sunny days. Before traveling, it’s best to: Check the weather forecast for rain, fog, or sudden temperature drops. Pack warm clothing, as evenings and mornings can be chilly. Carry an umbrella or light raincoat, since showers are frequent. Plan outdoor activities (like visiting tea estates, Horton Plains, or Gregory Lake) for clearer parts of the day. “We visited on rainy days, which made it impossible to see the main attractions, as most of the time it was foggy.”

If you want to experience the coldest weather in Sri Lanka, Nuwara Eliya is the place to be. Often called “Little England” due to its colonial charm, this hill town offers beautiful scenery and plenty of attractions. Gregory Lake is a highlight, perfect for a relaxing walk or a boat ride. Having your own transport (ideally a 4x4) makes it easier to explore the surrounding hills and hidden routes. The town also has great spots to eat, drink, and enjoy warm hospitality. Don’t miss a visit to one of the colonial hotels that once hosted many famous figures, including Queen Elizabeth II in 1954. A must-visit destination in the heart of Sri Lanka’s hills!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Grand Sun Inn in Nuwara Eliya, and it was a delightful experience! The hotel is run by a lovely family who truly makes you feel at home. The friendly staff went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a perfect retreat after a day of exploring the beautiful surroundings. I highly recommend Grand Sun Inn for anyone looking for a cozy and hospitable place to stay!

Close proximity to the Grand Hotel which is ideal if you're going to afternoon tea. Also very close to Victoria Park, the Turf Club and a great food court. Short 5 minute walk to the main town and post office. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We paid to do some laundry and they had it back to us washed, dried and freshly pressed in just a couple of hours which was very impressive as we hadn't even paid for an express service!!
