This place is a little gem. Beautiful, cozy, very well maintained, attention to details, kindness of the staff who is always smiling and trying to help, super good food, quiet location on a beautiful side road. Extra comfortable bed, heater, all facilities one might need... and let's not forget the jacuzzi. I would definitely go back!

My family had a wonderful stay in this place! Quite and safe place and away from the busy part of the area, wonderful views! Very huge space for our family of 5. The best view from the front balcony, which was our favorite spot watching as the sun rises. And the balcony at the back was amazing. The forest as well gives you the feeling of serenity looking at the tallest trees. The staff were really attentive and took care of us, very helpful. And that is the best thing you would want to have when you are in a home away from home.

We experienced a warm welcome in this special hotel. We liked it very much in the separate house, the Cabana. We were pampered all around. Already on our arrival we were served fine fruit juice and delicious cake. Tuk-tuk and taxis were organised for us and we were given the best information about everything we were interested in. They spared no effort to make us very happy: a durian was bought especially for us, as we had never eaten one before, and our laundry was washed for free (the delicate textiles even by hand). Also in terms of food, they left nothing to be desired: Inusha asked what we liked and what we didn't eat and cooked accordingly (also regarding the spiciness of the food). We looked forward to every meal because the food was super tasty. The Curry with the several different side dishes was the best we ever had in our 4 weeks Sri Lanka journey. We are very happy that we stayed in such a great house with best service on our Sri Lanka trip. Thank you very much for everything!

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.

    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.
