Magnolia Hideout is truly a unique gem with its beautiful European castle-inspired design. The living room and kitchen are spacious and thoughtfully designed, creating a cozy yet elegant ambiance. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the tools you’d need to prepare any meal, making it perfect for travelers who enjoy cooking. The room was impeccably clean and incredibly comfortable, ensuring a relaxing stay. The highlight of our experience was the host – exceptionally friendly and always ready to assist with anything we needed. Their warm hospitality made our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend Magnolia Hideout for anyone looking for a charming, comfortable, and well-maintained place to stay!

This accommodation was so unique! We wished we stayed longer!! BREATHTAKING VIEWS BEAUTIFUL AND COZY CABIN DELICIOUS HOME COOKED MEAL We stayed here for a night with a group of five friends, we were meant to go into the town for dinner but the cabin was so lovely and had such amazing views with a cozy feeling, we stayed in and had dinner made by the family (which was delicious). Sunrise is absolutely amazing, we woke up and sat on the balcony with blankets to watch it. This was our favourite accommodation we stayed at while exploring Sri Lanka. It reminded us of a ski lodge or cottage in the mountains. WOULD DEFINITELY COME BACK!!! Also the beds are SO COMFORTABLE. Couldn't recommend more. Definitely worth a book, the accommodation is an experience in itself.

The home stay was really comfortable and the owner was a super nice guy with a little daughter who even showed us their cute cat simba. He even cooked for us in the evening for a fair price and the food was really tasty. The owner speaks really good english and is very nice (brings you into the city or gives you tea if u want to). The home stay is like a little flat which even has a little kitchen and a chill area. Its not far away from the waterfall trail which is definitely a must see. All in all we were very happy and would recommend 100%.

This place is even better than the photos. It’s a two story villa with a well equipped kitchen, upstairs bedroom with views forever, and the bath was a very special treat. We felt so at home here, cooked ourselves a meal with vegetables from the stall next door and relaxed on the comfy couch. I wish we had stayed longer to take advantage of the walks that can be accessed directly from the property. The staff a delightful. Highly recommend.

    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.
