The hotel has the perfect merge of luxury and nature, it's secluded and has a lot of greenery that we absolutely loved. Having a morning walk there is one of a kind

We stayed 1 night (2 adults + 1 child) and we regret we didn't stay longer. Cottage San Francesco exceeded our expectations. Everything was super well organized from check-in to check out, a big "plus"! Staff really friendly and helpful. They gave us nice dinner recommendations in the city and arranged a tuktuk for us. Room was big, clean, quiet and with a wonderful view on the tea fields and mountains. Bed was super comfortable. Beautiful breakfast and tasty. We saw that some previous comments were negative about the location and the access, but for us, location was amazing, with stunning views. For the access, even a small car can access easily without issues.

Honestly, this was the best accomodation I've been in Srí Lanka. Not because of luxury things or other stuff, but because of the family, the owners. It's near to the jungle, absolutely calmy in the night, little bit cooler so good for sleeping. Owners welcomed me with a pot of the. I could even use their kitchen for preparing my breakfast. Roshan helped me with everything. Room was very clean, nice bed. Thank you Roshan for your service! I definitely recommend this and definitely come back when I'll come back to Nuwara Eliya.

The space was simple, brand new, cozy, and beautifully designed, it felt very cozy from the moment we arrived. The food from the in-house restaurant was incredible, full of flavour and made with so much care. What truly stood out was how warmly we were welcomed. Our immediate family had planned this trip after such a long time apart, and Croft Cottage gave us the perfect setting to reconnect. It wasn’t just a holiday, it was a heartfelt experience shared with loved ones. There’s truly no better way to spend quality time together. Highly recommended!

Staying at Bluechip Summer Bungalow was absolutely magical. The location, right in the middle of a tea plantation, and the beautiful British-style house surrounded by gardens make you feel part of Nuwara Eliya’s history. Our room was huge, with the most comfortable bed we had during our trip in Sri Lanka. The staff was extremely attentive and professional and the food was simply outstanding.They even arranged a walk for us to Lovers Leap waterfall, which is easily accessible from the hotel and was a perfect experience. A truly authentic stay in “Little England”. Highly recommended for anyone looking for charm, comfort, and a genuine atmosphere.

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.

A fantastic, super cosy little hotel in Nuwara Eliya. Perfectly placed with view of the mountains and tea gardens. But the best part is inside, Malinda and his team are doing everything in their power to make your stay as good as possible- and they succeed. Dinner, breakfast and even the sandwiches they made for us for our train trip were excellent. All homemade and very delicious. Furthermore they are such a pleasant bunch😀 We can highly recommend staying at Queensland.

The staff were incredibly helpful, but a special mention goes to Krishor, whose kindness and assistance were the best we’ve experienced so far in Sri Lanka.

We loved the views, the service and the ‘home away from home’ feel. The hotel manager was absolutely incredible and the best host we have had in Sri Lanka. Thanks for having us! Just note the accomodation is quite far away from Nuwara Eliya town, and is more of a remote getaway.
