It's a beautiful place. Quite and away from the hussle and bustle of the Nuwara Eliya town. The staff are excellent.. The best crew I have met in a place like this.. lead by Buddhika, all of them were so accommodative and exceptionally nice. That makes all the difference. The food was exceptional. We really enjoyed our stay.

Very cute small designed hotel! Great location right on the tea plantation with fantastic view from the panoramic windows of the restaurant. Fantastic British design of the hotel - all hotel looks very modern and new. Fireplace in the room. Lovely atmosphere. Very friendly and welcomed stuff. Good and tasty restaurant. Amazing breakfast. We highly recommend it to all people visiting tea plantations near Nuwara Eliya and who is going to experience the train to Ella (railway station Nanuoya is located 10 min by car from the hotel).

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!

    A return visit to this charming colonial bungalow after a few years was just as delightful as I remembered! The rooms are clean and comfortable as always, and the fireplace added a cozy touch. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the service of Waruna was very very good! Ensuring a pleasant stay. The location is excellent; within easy walking distance to Nuwara Eliya city and surrounded by so much to do in the neighborhood. I completely enjoyed my stay.

The Bungalow itself is a charming dream with its English-style magic. Rooms? Absolutely adorable. Staff? Total rockstars. And let's talk about the food – it was a taste explosion! Kent Cottages, you've got the 5-star game strong. Cheers to a fab stay!

    We had an absolutely fantastic time at Glenfiddich cottage. The view of Gregory Lake and the charming front garden were simply breathtaking. The cottage itself was so cozy and homely, making it the perfect retreat for our two-day stay. Special thanks to Mr. Shiva for his exceptional culinary skills – every meal was a delight! We're also incredibly thankful for Mr. Rohan, the friendly manager, who made our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, it was an unforgettable getaway in Nuwara Eliya, and we can't recommend Lakeside cottages enough.
