    “Very good experience.”

    If you yearn to encounter an old time in Sri Lanka, then Hill Cottage in Nuwara Eliya is definitely a captivating place. It is not just a residence, but more like a "Little England" museum that transcends time. This colonial-style bungalow, built in 1875, is nestled at an elevation of six thousand feet, gently embraced by a garden that seems to be cut off from the world. Upon waking in the morning and opening the door, you are greeted by a picturesque scene: colorful flowers glistening with dew, and the distant purple mountains faintly appearing in the mist. I particularly love its impeccably maintained little courtyard; although a short walk away is the lively golf club and the Grand Hotel, stepping into this place instantly grants you a sense of English tranquility and intimacy. The room features retro yet exquisite wooden decor, retaining the rich charm of the English countryside, with every detail exuding the warmth of home. What is even more precious is that here, you receive not only the beautiful scenery but also the warm hospitality of the caretakers who are always enthusiastic and considerate. Whether it’s preparing breakfast for you early in the morning for your trip to Horton Plains, or handing you a cup of hot water when you feel a bit chilly, these small gestures of care always make the journey incredibly soft. Staying at Hill Cottage is like living in an old friend’s home—peaceful, vintage, and full of warmth.

    “Clean and tidy, with style.”

    A small house with a strong British style, the number of rooms is not many, but the rooms are very spacious, and both the bathroom and bed are large. The facilities are a bit outdated, but fortunately, it is clean and tidy, which exceeded our family's expectations. The staff's service attitude is also very good, showing that they care. If I come here again, I would choose this small house again.

    “Distinctive colonial heritage architecture”

    It is a renovation of an old villa, and the staff mentioned that the house has nearly 200 years of history, giving it a very retro atmosphere. The rooms have been modernized and upgraded based on the original structure. The staff was very friendly and answered all questions, providing a lot of information and suggestions. However, the train schedule they mentioned was not quite right, so we left for the train station too early, haha. 😂

    “Beautiful and charming”

    We had a gorgeous one night stay in Hill Cottage on our journey from Kandy to Ella. The grounds and house are kept immaculate. We arrived to the friendliest staff and warmest welcome. Our bedroom was lovely overlooking the gardens. Breakfast had plenty of options :)

    “Beautiful room in an English cottage”

    Lovely room and cottage at an excellent price. Wonderful period decor, furniture and atmosphere. Room was very spacious and bed was very comfortable. Bathroom was spotless with hot water and strong pressure. Hospitality by Frank and Dishant was friendly and attentive. Location is right next to the Grand Hotel, so you can enjoy their immaculately groomed garden, bar, and ,restaurants, including their famous high tea, without paying their stratospheric rates.
