Reviews of The Firs 5 stars

● Great location, easily accessible to major attractions in Nuwara Eliya. ● Comfortable bedding with antique-style amenities. ● Spacious rooms. ● Fully functional Jacuzzi. ● Room heater provided. ● Adequate parking was available.

● There was poor drainage in the bathroom, leading to a consistently wet floor. ● It was difficult to adjust the water temperature, as it fluctuates frequently. ● The supply of drinking water was inadequate; (only one litre of complimentary water was provided for three guests over two days, and there was a charge for additional bottles.)

Location is great Rooms are spacious Cleanliness is We booked half board, cooking was great

Carpets on the floor in our room

Clean and helpful service

No

The location, the property and the two cheerful boys Yasa and Shien are very helpful and resourceful . They made our stay very comfortable. The breakfast is superb. Our every small extra request was met with a satisfactory service.

Nothing

This place was absolutely amazing Staff were nice and accommodating

Nice heritage property at Nuwara Eliya. Well maintained. Large rooms. Good hospitality. Food options were limited but food was great.

Food options were limited.

Very quaint with some old English charm. Lovely old house steeped in history. A nice cup of refreshing lemon tea on arrival. Very polite staff. Comfy bed. Decent shower and breakfast. Very quiet so got a great nights sleep

Not much. Couldn’t open our window. Could’ve done with a lick of paint here and there

The room and the ambience was good. Location was good but a bit far

Very less facilities. Shower door doesn't close. Curtain blinds were dirty. No centralized geyser system.

this is a lovely colonial-style period property turned in to a small hotel, it used to belong to the prime-minister. our room was large and very comfortable with four-poster bed and original antique furniture. outside there is a nice garden area. no swimming pool or leisure facilities but there was a nice traditional snooker room used for free. great breakfast at good price (we chose the a-la-carte). very friendly staff. it's a short drive to the nearest town called nuwara-eliya. beautiful views of the countryside. no traffic noise outside, we got a good rest. well-worth the price

the bath tub could be upgraded (we used the shower instead and that was fine)

Spacious rooms with elegant 1800s furniture, a beautiful garden, and a great variety of breakfast options.

Poor soundproofing.I could hear conversations from adjacent rooms. Also, something in the bedding triggered an allergy, affecting my face, neck, and body. Luckily, I had antihistamines and used my clothes as a pillow cover to manage.

Loved the hospitality.. loved the rooms and the location.

The cottage was beautiful to look at and had a lot of history, which was interesting. It was rhe holiday home of rhe first prime minister of Sri Lanka and still belongs to the family. Some of the wooden furniture were more than 100 years old! The surroundings and grounds were also very well maintained and looked beautiful. We had coffee in the garden in the morning and it was beautiful, cool and crisp weather. The manager was very helpful and attended to all our needs and questions. Very pleasant to talk to.

The room could do with a major overhaul while still keeping the rustic English look. The carpet was dirty and needs to be replaced. The mattress was old, the bathtub was not working properly. The teabags that were left in the room for us were loose teabags (nor individually packed) and just generally feels like an old room. With a little bit of change, this cottage could be so wonderful.

The people running the hotel

Room was damp and dark even with all lights on. Not enough bedding so cold should have asked for more bedding probably our fault. Poor English breakfast not cooked well. Poached eggs hard etc Hot water only enough for 1 shower then you have to wait 15/20 mins to reheat water supply To be honest the rooms have probably been like this for 20 more years and desperately need overhaul. Carpets worn and passed cleaning properly. Despite the helpful nice staff im sorry but I cannot recommend this hotel.

Extremely sumptuous breakfast

Thanks for your warm hospitality

Wonderful heritage property. Very well maintained Helpful staff

Location - far away from the lake and town-centre. You are stuck without personal transport Price - much more than what it should be

An excellent property with a history. Very friendly and helpful staff who made our stay worth every moment.
