Truly magnificent property that sweeps you make to yesteryear. The offerings, the staff and the rooms were sensational . Another standout is the food, Michelin standard 6 course meal to be remembered and great value at $60.

The accomodation was really beautiful, the location was not so close to center but with tuc-tuc there is no problem to move around. The owner suggested a really cool place for dinner which was the best dining experience in Sri Lanka we had.

We would give 15 out of 10 if it is possible. Place is very nice, clean, comfortable. We were group of 5 and used 2 rooms, both were great. Young couple who runs this place are very nice, helpful. We also had breakfast in guest house and it was fresh and tasty. View from the house is something special. House is out of center but with tuk tuk you will need no more than 5 minutes. We slept very good due to fresh air and calmness.

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!

Food was great. They have an in-house chef who is super friendly and can cook anything under the sun. Location is great. It's a cozy and comfortable place to stay. There are only four rooms so it will never be crowded. Moreover, If a small group wants to stay, they have the entire place to themselves.

    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, 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.

    In the town you can visit colonial buildings (including the post office), Victoria Garden, Lake Gregory (that is probably a tuk tuk ride). There are opportunities to shop for gems. We also visited a number of very picturesque waterfalls, again a short tuk tuk ride away. We enjoyed plenty of hiking options a short car ride away from Nuwara Eliya. One segment of the Pekoe Trail starts in the nearby village of Kandapolla and it is the place where to take pictures of Sri Lankan countryside. The Horton Plains are also a car ride away. Nuwara Eliya is probably the coldest town in Sri Lanka. Make sure you pack warm clothes!

    The property was in an excellent location for seeing Nuwara Eliya. The family room was very spacious- more like an apartment, and comfortable. It was a little dated and we had a few issues with the hot water and wifi connection. The main plus to the accommodation was the food from its sister hotel - Royal Cocoon which was amazing. The chef Amiz really knows his stuff.

    A nice hotel just outside of Nuwara Eliya with pool and spa facilities. The prices of the restaurants felt rather extortionate and the hotel felt a little outdated, which makes us think it wasn’t 100% worth the price of the stay. However, we had a comfortable night and overall enjoyed our stay.
