Pros: -The villa itself is beautifully transformed into a hotel. -The dining area is pleasant with stunning mountain views. -The surrounding city and scenery are incredibly beautiful, offering picturesque mountain vistas. -The management staff are extremely friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Cons: -Basic amenities are lacking; there was no tea or coffee provided with the kettle, and only two towels were available. -The room was smaller than expected with minimal furnishings—a fridge and a non-functional phone, both empty and inoperative. -Cleanliness was an issue, with the room and facilities not well-maintained. -The breakfast options were limited to eggs, a small selection of fruits, a dish of jam, and low-quality coffee. -Despite the villa's charming location, the high altitude led to challenging weather conditions during our stay, which included cold, rain, storms, and fog. -The pricing per night is high, which set up an expectation of a more luxurious experience that was not met. Conclusion: While the villa offers some enchanting views and commendable staff hospitality, the lack of basic amenities and overall maintenance does not justify the high cost. Potential guests should weigh the aesthetic and service positives against the practical drawbacks and high price. Given my experience, I would likely explore other options before considering a return visit.

Its a property about 7 km away from town. Its a beautifully built property . As i understand it has 6 rooms, and a pool table in the loft. Great staff. There is no lift but its not an issue. There are small things they need to see to. Like salt and pepper shakers ( rather than sticking your fingers into the salt/pepper jar. ) there are no tissues in the room/bathroom. No hand washers - but lovely towels. The scenery from the small restaurant is amazing. This is place i may stay at again

The room was large, as was the shower area. The shower was pretty amazing and had good water pressure. There was good space for parking. We think the place might be pretty new and suffering from a few teething problems. We arrived around 7.30pm and had to ask for towels, toilet roll and a hairdryer. The tv didn’t have any clear channels and wifi was patchy. The bathroom could also have been a little but cleaner. However, the manager and his assistant were very friendly and polite. As we left very early (approx 5.30am) in the morning, we can’t comment on other amenities or the breakfast. The manager did try and offer tea and something to eat before we went but we didn’t want to impose as it was so early. We appreciated the offer though. It's a large building with 6 rooms, and so quite quiet. We may well have caught them on an off day.

Quiet, well-run, super clean. The breakfast was disappointing, though, and they wanted to charge us USD5 for a cappuccino - no thanks! We were spoiled by the excellent food in Sri Lanka.

We had a great time here. It was quiet, well furnished and the food was lovely. They had a very personal service and we were followed up all the time. They also helped us to find a tuk tuk. In addition, we could decide when we wished to have breakfast or dinner and what we wished to eat from the menu.The location is lovely: you see the beautiful tea plantations. The owner was very helpful and he followed us and helped at the train station. Highly recommended. We are definitely coming back!

We stopped here on the way to Ella from Kandy and glad we did!! This is a small place but you wouldn’t know it! The rooms are very spacious and the hosts were amazing, one even tended to my partners ankle after she sprained it! The food is also amazing, chef on site with a wide menu of things to eat!

Great property with an even better manager. Mr. Rohan was very accommodating with every one of our requests. He recommended incredible restaurants, helped organize a safari later in our trip, secured us taxi service to our next destination, and plenty of other things as well. All done with a friendly smile and genuine concern. Give this place a shot and you won’t be disappointed.

Gracious, caring, clean, comfortable.
Vnod the manager, Nandi the chef and Vajira the “butler” couldn’t have been kinder. Their care went above and beyond. It was like staying with family who hadn’t seen you for years (and were super happy to see you). We left something of value at the hotel and Vnod found it, held on to it for two days and met us upon our return to pick it up with smiles and hugs just as the first time we arrived. The hotel is up high and has stunning views. Nandi said he would make us something special for dinner and it truly was. He fed us way too much all with pride and the desire to make us happy. It was all good. We will always remember our new friends. The pool table was fun too.

An amazing stay, highly recommended!
The ambience of the hotel and the hospitality of staff impressed me a lot! A very warm welcome received from the manager during arrival. The room is clean and tidy where made you feel safe. A very warm hearted arrangement made by the hotel, as the staff knew that we arranged a visit to Horton Plains and woke up at 5am. They prepared a breakfast takeaway for us and the driver! The manager is very helpful for the stay, impressed and highly appreciated for the assistance. The hotel was built on a small cliff when may require vehicle to get on.

Lots of flies and rather overwhelming senior staff
Admittedly, this hotel is out of town with fields all around it but there were a lot of flies in all the public areas except the dining room. This was because they kept the door to the dining room closed thus largely preventing the flies from going in. If they did the same thing with the front door (from the outside into the hotel), they would probably reduce the number of flies elsewhere in the hotel. And there are other ways of dealing with flies. The welcome to the hotel by the manager and the chef was so effusive as to be overwhelming. Perhaps we are used to staying in bigger hotels where the approach is more formal. When checking in, we were told that the Chef was doing a five course meal as if this was the only option. In fact, there is a long á la carte menu. The five course meal was tasty but one of the courses was tea/coffee and all the others were small. It was also more expensive than the á la carte, so we ate off the á la carte thereafter. However, there were often lots not available on the á la carte. Perhaps a shorter menu with everything available would be better? The room was what we ordered and the manager did provide an extension lead do that we could have the fan heater on the floor - otherwise, it would have been on top of the wardrobe as the socket is set so high up the wall. The hot water was a bit variable but in the bathroom but not too bad. The manager provided blankets when requested.

Lovely hotel with great staff
Immaculately clean hotel (the cleanest we have found in Sri Lanka!). The staff were very friendly and accommodating - they couldn't do enough for us. It is a short tuktuk ride away from the centre of Nuwara Eliya but that's a positive - the views from the hotel are stunning and the town centre is similar to other small towns in Sri Lanka.
