The space was simple, brand new, cozy, and beautifully designed, it felt very cozy from the moment we arrived. The food from the in-house restaurant was incredible, full of flavour and made with so much care. What truly stood out was how warmly we were welcomed. Our immediate family had planned this trip after such a long time apart, and Croft Cottage gave us the perfect setting to reconnect. It wasn’t just a holiday, it was a heartfelt experience shared with loved ones. There’s truly no better way to spend quality time together. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend Grand Bungalow. We stayed in the superior triple which is a large room at the front of the building. All 4 rooms are upstairs. The 3 doubles don't have a view but all rooms are beautifully furnished and very comfortable. (We were able to see all the rooms during our stay). There is also a beautiful sitting and dining room on the bedroom level. The staff are fantastic. Rasika, the manager/butler is very helpful and kind, and the dinner and breakfast prepared by chef Sahan is delicious and generous. You will be cared for with warmth and good humour. They do not speak a lot of English but we were able to communicate well. The location is excellent. Near to the Grand Hotel and Victoria Gardens.

    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 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!

    Great place to cool down in the highlands.

    Great place to cool down in the highlands. We actually use blankets, coats and hot showers in June, which was a very welcomed change to the scorching hot cultural triangle and beaches. The town is very close (5km) from one of the ends of the very underrated Pekoe Trail, a 300 km, 22 stages long distance hiking trail, that is very interesting to see not only the tea plantations but the life it rural communities. Also very interesting is to observe the many small, commercial vegetables gardens that are scattered all over town. The town is 1800 mts above the sea level, and in June, their monsoon season, was rainy. Everything was incredibly lush and green, and the temperature very pleasant.

    This place is absolutely brilliant. A little out of town, settled among the tea plants, the views are stunning, and the hotel itself is immaculate. The beds are so comfy (with duvets!), everything is spotlessly clean, and it’s I unbelievably peaceful. Small and perfectly managed, the people running amount View are delightful! We got caught in the rain, and they very kindly dried our stuff for us. I cannot fault it and would wholly recommend it to everyone staying in Nuwara Eliya.

    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!!
