This was one of the most beautiful and welcoming hotels we have ever stayed at. Starting from the check-in and till the last minute of our stay, everything was perfect. Akila is the best hotel manager ever, he made our stay feel as home, we felt like we were visiting family house rather than staying at the hotel. The view is incredible, and you can watch birds and squirrels from the garden. The food was cooked by Akila himself, and this was the best food we had in Sri Lanka. Many activities to do around the hotel as well, Akila was very kind to take us on a guided hike tour with visiting a Hindu Temple. You can also visit Glenloch tea factory, which is a walking distance from the hotel, where you can experience tea plucking. If we ever come back to Sri Lanka, it will be just for visiting this amazing place again.

We absolutely loved everything about our stay there. It was an amazing experience! The property is very charming and conserves an old Scottish style, but it also offers all the modern comforts. The view is spectacular, breakfast and dinner were delicious, and the staff incredibly welcoming and helpful.

We had the most unforgettable stay at The Lavender House in Sri Lanka. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. The location is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views all around—truly a piece of paradise. We were welcomed with a wonderful surprise: a room upgrade to what felt like a private, luxurious villa. The space was unbelievably spacious and beautifully designed, offering total comfort and privacy. As we were celebrating our honeymoon, the staff went above and beyond to make it special with lovely welcome snacks and a room decorated with such thoughtful detail—it meant so much to us. Our personal butler was exceptional—attentive, kind, and always ready to help with anything we needed. One of the highlights of our stay was a scenic tour organized for us, and they even packed a delicious lunch box, which was such a considerate touch. My wife had a swollen ankle during our trip, and the staff arranged a massage to help her feel better, showing true care and attention to detail. The food throughout our stay was si

Everything about the villa was amazing. From the luxurious interior to the breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains, dam and tea plantations, our experience here was wonderful and a much needed getaway in an extremely calm and serene place. We were hosted by the very warm and cheerful Akila and served delicious meals prepared by the talented in-house chef.

Nice property in the high mountains of Sri Lanka with beautiful vistas on the agricultural landscape and mountains. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. The staff is literally running for you. The chef is serving a delicious diner. Pool table room with fantastic view. They try to position themselves on a luxury boutique level Realize you are on 2000mtr altitude so it is totally different from the rest of Sri Lanka. The sauna is gr8 on windy rainy days and the pool then serves to cool down.

We stayed at this hotel for just two nights. As our stay was during low season, we (4 adults + 1 child) had the hotel to ourselves. The location of the hotel, although a little distance from the town centre, was superb. The staff (especially, Budhika, the Duty Manager) were exceptionally friendly and helpful - nothing was too much. The hotel was clean and the rooms were very comfortable. The food was of a high standard and, again, the Duty Chef was more than happy to meet our requests. We would highly recommend this 7 room boutique hotel.

La Grande Villa is a must to do if you are coming at NUWARA ELIYA. You can feel the luxury England atmosphere everywhere. The room is fabulous, the food is delicious and all the staff was so caring, so helpful and so nice. You can count on the receptionist Farhan if you need anything, count on the chef if you want to eat Sri Lankan, Indian or English food and count on the staff to makes you feel like a VIP guest. Thanks to all of you for this unforgettable stay. I warmly recommend that place.
