What I liked most of Nuwara Eliya was naturally the cool climate. Unfortunately I had to cut short our stay by one night due to an emergency. I look forward to spending a bit more time and enjoying Nuwara Eliya.

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,...

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.

I loved everything—from the room and the view to the exceptional service. The hospitality was outstanding, and they took great care of us. Our check-in went smoothly, and the entire property was so peaceful and beautiful with a lake view. The famous lake of Nuwara eliya is just in front of the hotel. If I return to this area, I would definitely love to stay here again. The staff was beyond excellent—words aren't enough to express my appreciation for their hospitality.

Winchester Little England high up amid the tea plantation was a wonderful experience in this small boutique hotel. The staff - Junaid, Shree and the chef managed the entire operations so efficiently always with a smile and willingness to meet our every need. Up in the highlands this really was a bit of little England transported especially the days we were there - Jan 13-14 - drizzle, misty and chilly. A must if you plan going to Nuwara Eliya

We loved our stay here. Sadly we had terrible weather but the hotel was lovely and cosy and the staff were so welcoming. The restaurant/cafe was fab and the food was delicious. We loved the breakfast choice. Our room was warm and comfortable, which we needed! We would have liked to have stayed longer and if we return to Nuwara Eliya we would definitely stay here!

Beautiful building in the heart of Nuwara Eliya. Even our guide was shocked as he hadn’t heard of this hotel. The rooms are beautiful and well equipped. There is a restaurant attached to the hotel and as a guest you will receive 50% discount from the menu prices. The portions are quite large and the service is excellent.

Very fine little hotel in Nuwara Eliya within walking distance of everything. Super friendly staff and very nice rooms. We didn't have breakfast here, so unable to comment on that. But dinner was fine.
