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.

Our stay at SHERIN 1892 was like stepping into a colonial-style time capsule. The hotel's design made us feel like we were sleeping in a living museum, surrounded by history. Asila and his wife's warm welcome added a personal touch to the experience. The fresh and delicious food was a treat for the taste buds. Whenever we needed guidance for sightseeing, they went above and beyond to ensure we had a happy and memorable time. SHERIN 1892 is more than just a hotel; it's an immersive journey into the past with exceptional hospitality. We look forward to returning soon.

The villa was easily reachable from the Nuwaraeliya town and it featured a nice kitchen where you could cook your food. The TV came with an extensive selection of movies and TV shows pre loaded which was way better than watching the standard TV channels.

    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.
