I liked everything, if you need to have a hotel in Nuwara Eliya, the cottage is very good choice. The family that manages the cottage is as attentive, caring and sweet as possible. Our two nights in the hotel was wonderful. breakfasts are good, it is tea, black coffee, fried eggs, pancakes and desert. I definitely will book a room again when will go to Nuwara Eliya.

Our stay at this beautiful villa in Nuwara Eliya was nothing short of exceptional. The place itself is a masterpiece from the British era — tastefully preserved, exuding old-world charm while offering every modern luxury you can imagine. It truly stands out as one of the most beautifully built and maintained villas in the region.

    Nuwara Eliya – A Place I’ll Never Get Tired Of!

    Nuwara Eliya – A Place I’ll Never Get Tired Of! No matter how many times I visit Nuwara Eliya, it never fails to amaze me. The cool breeze, the misty hills, the beautiful scenery — everything about this place feels magical every single time. It’s one of those destinations that instantly refreshes your mind and soul. I’ve been here so many times, and yet, every visit feels new. Whether it’s the calm mornings, the cozy evenings, or just walking around town with a hot cup of tea, I’ll truly never get fed up of being here. Nuwara Eliya will always be one of my favorite places in Sri Lanka — peaceful, scenic, and full of charm. Can’t wait for my next visit already! ❤️

    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,...

    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!

    Luxury hotel in Nuwara Eliya. Pool is beautiful and warm, great to relax and wind down. Transport is offered by golf cart around the grounds which is convenient. Skybar for cocktails before dinner then buffet or Al cart options for dinner. We were quite impressed after coming back from the buffet dinner (which was spectacular) to our room having a turn down service including our fireplace on, sheets pulled back and lamps on.

    The location is perfect, close to the center, the bus station and the Grand Hotel. The room (private room, two twin beds) was clean, there was a shelf, a hair dryer, international plugs, thick blankets. The water in the shower was warm. The host was nice and gave us tips for our time in Nuwara Eliya. There is a kitchen you can use (we didn't) and a common room. The breakfast was tasty.
