Nuwara Eliya

Shirin was extremely friendly and helpful, kindly picking us up from Nanu Oya train station and offering delicious milk tea upon our arrival. The house is cozy and charming, filled with historical character, and pleasantly scented with incense. While it's a historic property, you can’t expect the facilities to be brand-new, but everything was kept impeccably clean. The location is excellent, with two pizza places and a local restaurant right at the entrance of the lane, plus a Super K store for shopping needs. It's within walking distance to the lakeside and city center, and if you don't feel like walking, tuk-tuks are very affordable. Breakfast was abundant and delicious, with the hoppers being absolutely outstanding. I highly recommend staying at Shirin's place - it's definitely great value for money.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

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.

Kent Cottages in Nuwara Eliya deserves a big high-five! Mr. Nalaka, the caretaker, made our stay feel like a breeze – super friendly vibes. 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.
