The Tea Garden - Complimentary Breakfast, Near Lake Gregory

Hier ist es wie nach Hause kommen. Shameera kümmert sich um alles und steht mit Rat und Tat zur Verfügung. Wir konnten sogar unsere Wäsche waschen lassen. Vielen lieben Dank für alles :-)

המארחים דאגו לכל מה שהייתי צריכה הייתה ארוחת בוקר מפנקת ומקום מהמם

La struttura è incantevole: varcare la soglia vi fa immergere nell'atmosfera di una casa coloniale inglese legata alla tradizione del tè. Oltre alla bellezza del posto, a fare la vera differenza è stata l'ospitalità dell'host, che ci ha trattati in modo meraviglioso fin dal primo momento. Siamo stati accolti sulla veranda con un delizioso tè pomeridiano, accompagnato da torta e biscotti. Abbiamo inoltre ricevuto in dono una confezione di tè locale di Nuwara Eliya e dei biscotti alla cannella, un gesto di rara e genuina gentilezza. L'host si è rivelato un aiuto prezioso anche per l'organizzazione logistica del nostro viaggio zaino in spalla: ha gestito in modo impeccabile il nostro trasferimento all'alba per visitare Horton Plains e ci ha preparato una fantastica colazione al sacco per affrontare al meglio il nostro trekking. È stata un'esperienza perfetta sotto ogni punto di vista, che mi sento di consigliare vivamente a chiunque cerchi calore e un servizio ineccepibile.

Excellent, clean, and comfortable rooms. The breakfast was delicious, nice presentation and beautiful table arrangement. The staff served us professionally and ensured our complete satisfaction by fulfilling all our requests. The property manager and staff also checked on us regularly to make sure we were comfortable and provided everything we needed. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality.

Camera enorme con terrazzo, pulitissima. Benvenuto con te e pasticcini. Omaggio alla partenza. Colazione abbondante e gustosa. Tutta l'esperienza è stata perfetta.

The property is located across from a tea plantation, giving very good views from the room. The main town area is also very close by .the staff member Venu was very helpful and took care of all requirements. The Sri Lankan breakfast was also very good. Very spacious room.

Shameena the manager went the extra mile to welcome and advise us. He even prepared breakfast which was ready for us to take away at 04:30 AM (!) when he definitely didn’t have to.

Its out of the town,which I liked but be aware-if you are in and out of town you will be in tuk tuks alot.Beautiful house with great staff and huge rooms.The breakfast was amazing and they also gave us a gift on leaving-lovely.

A local pack of dogs howl like wolves every night-not sure what can be done about that but it does disrupt your sleep,if Im honest

Great Place with amazing location.

Grösse, Sauberkeit, höfliches und zuvorkommendes Personal, Frühstück, sehr bequeme Betten

Nichts

Struttura accogliente, personale gentilissimo!

Schöne Lage in einer Teeplantage, schönes großes Zimmer mit Balkon, das Personal sehr gastfreundlich und zum Einstieg gab es eine Führung durch die Teeplantage. Ein morgendlicher Ausflug zum Sonnenaufgang in die Horton Plains ist sehr zu empfehlen.

Bad etwas veraltet und abgenutzt.

Vriendelijke service

Jeśli ktoś szuka stylowego noclegu wśród pól herbacianych, to właśnie go znalazł. Położony kawałek od centrum, dzięki czemu mieliśmy ciszę i spokój. Czysto, bardzo wygodne łóżka, przecudny widok, a na powitanie świeżo zaparzoną herbata i ciasto. Pyszne śniadanie o poranku. Żałowaliśmy, że byliśmy tylko jedną noc.

Le cadre magnifique, le gentillesse des hôtes, le délicieux petit déjeuner et la propreté des lieux.

La chambre est décorée avec beaucoup de goût, La literie confortable Le personnel très disponible et à l écoute La propreté des lieux (intérieur et extérieurs)

Trop éloigné de la ville Salle le bain pas à la hauteur de la chambre Pas de possibilité de repas sur place

非常不错的地方，别墅很漂亮，还有下午茶接待

区域有些潮湿，被子有点潮，

Just perfect. Beautiful room - clean and comfortable. Fantastic breakfast and excellent hosts

Location, very friendly and kind staff

The bathroom had no fan, so everything would stay wet for a long time.

Ein schönes Haus mit einem tollen Zimmer und grosszügiger Terrasse! Am Rande von Nuwara Eliya gelegen, inmitten einer Teeplantage.

Die Strassenhunde waren nachts sehr laut und der Tempelsänger ist um 5.00 morgens hörbar.

Просторный номер, внимательный и отзывчивый персонал,

Отсутствие москитных сеток, залетало много мух.

We loved the stay, it was located amidst the tea plantations and was well maintained. They arranged a very good takeaway breakfast at 5am when we had to go for a trek which was very sweet of them. The room had a good view and service was available whenever we needed it. They also arrange tuk tuk if requested.

The bed kept making noise every time we moved but otherwise it had a soft cushion and mattress.

Thank you to the hotel hosts for the warm welcome. Everything was great: a clean and cozy room and a very good breakfast.

Near to tea estate

Very limited options for food and other facilities are very limited. Not worthy for the price

The size of the bedroom, the super big and comfortable bed, and the cosy lighting. It’s a very cosy house. The crew was so nice, so welcoming, and they gifted us tea with a delicious basket with cake, cookies and fruit. At check out, they offered us a package of tea and incense. So sweet and caring of them.

Tudo perfeito para uma noite tranquila.

Great guys always ready to help also good breakfast, we got free upgrade to better room, around are tea fields you can walk through them, the nature around is amazing... best one in sri lanka

Lo staff è molto gentile.

Avevo cercato appositamente una soluzione con il riscaldamento: peccato che non c'era. Per fortuna le coperte erano presenti! La camera piccolissima (ma per una notte andava bene). Poi la frase "senza vista" onestamente non l'avevo interpretata con "finestra finta": pensavo che non avesse una vista sul giardino, non alloggiare in un loculo! Il bagno minuscolo, ma almeno c'era l'acqua calda. La colazione sufficiente, niente di che. La zona in comune, carina ma con umidità ovunque. La struttura ha sicuramente del potenziale perchè circondata da piantagioni di tè, ma è davvero tenuta male. Non lo consiglio.

Amal and his staff were exceptional. They were polite, attentive, and responsive to our needs.

The facility itself was quaint and lacked amenities. It was very clean, however.

Fijn hotel, vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel, schone en ruime kamer. Ontbijt was perfect.

Niets

很美的乡村别墅，我们订的家庭房在二楼带露台，景色很好，店家也贴心地为我们准备了暖气（尽管天气还没那么冷）。早餐虽然不是自助式，但服务生精心准备，营养丰富也足够吃饱。一流的景色。

Die Lage ist zwar etwas außerhalb des Zentrums, dafür mitten in den Teeplantagen. Man kriegt eine kostenlose Führung von den Mitarbeitenden.

Lo stile è la gentilezza dello Staff

Pulizia non perfetta e bagno in pochino angusto

Mooie locatie midden in een thee veld. Personeel wilt met alles helpen. Buiten is een lounge area met hangmatten en een grote ligbank

Badkamer was wat gedateerd en bed kraakte heel erg.

Lovely view of tea field from the balcony. The staff were so polite and helpful.

The power board was behind the bed on an extension lead. Very hard to access. Felt a bit musty in the room. Bathroom could have been smartened up.

The Vinu made this property. The walk around the tea plantations was a highlight of the whole trip, he was super kind giving us a full insight- so thank you 🙏 We got a lovely welcoming plate… a nice touch. The property is a little tired and could do with some work. The room was really spacious, with a lovely balcony but didn’t quite live up to the pictures for the price we payed. Breakfast was good- very accommodating.

The property inside the room needs some TLC.

Bellissima vista. Camera spaziosa e pulita. Personale gentile e disponibile. Ottima colazione

Nulla. Solo un po’ freddo

Gute Atmosphäre und besondere Einrichtung. Tee und Gingercookies zur Begrüßung auf der Terrasse. Gepflegter Garten und Blumen im Aufenthaltsraum. Besonders zu erwähnen ist der Manager Ishan, der außergewöhnlich zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit ist. Er hat uns kurzfristig noch die raren Zugtickets nach Kandy besorgt und auch sonst waren die Gespräche mit ihm informativ und herzlich .

Die Atmosphäre im Haus, die besondere Einrichtung ist sehr stimmungsvoll. Es gibt frische Blumen im Frühstücksraum. Die Lage in den Teeplantagen ist sehr gut, man kann vom Garten aus in die Plantagen bis in den Ort laufen. Ishan, der Manager, hat uns bei allem geholfen: Einen besonders guten Fahrer für den Ausflug zu dem Ramboda Waterfall und der Labookelly Teefabrik besorgt, hat sich stets sehr aufmerksam um unser Wohlbefinden bemüht und sogar sehr kurzfristig Zugtickets nach Kandy für uns gebucht. Er ist ein Schatz, sowie die gesamte Belegschaft! Die Gespräche mit ihm und seine warme Herzlichkeit haben den Aufenthalt hier zu etwas Besonderem gemacht.

Nichts.

Lovely big villa with a big upstairs room with big beds but power boards with electricity outlets were behind the beds and as the roof angled down behind the bed we kept cracking our heads on the beams. An extension cord would help or outlets or outlets on vertical walls where there’s easy access. The decor is very pleasing. Kitchen downstairs has a big fridge and there is a kettle and also a place for guests to prepare food but the young man who prepares breakfast does it somewhere in another house and thus he took some time to bring me the coffee i asked for before departing for Horton Plains. Suggest a hot thermos of coffee made the night before might help. He made me 2 snack boxes and served my cousin who didn’t do the hike in the villa. It was a great breakfast compared to most we had on our tour. The host was very friendly and the landscaping is nice.

Too close to the local monastery where nighttime drumming was annoyingly loud. Luckily it rained and blew loud gusts which created masking noises. It’s too costly for what it is.

The host Ishan , Vinu and Hussain took good care of us. Breakfastwas great.. As the Vesak festival was going on and it was noisy, we were offered ear plugs. We could manage even without that.The tea garden was a short walk from the stay. Beautiful garden

The approach road could be better.

A truly unique stay surrounded by lush tea plantations—while it’s a bit removed from the village centre, the peaceful setting more than makes up for it. The manicured gardens are stunning, and the staff are genuinely attentive and caring, ensuring your stay is both enjoyable and relaxing. A beautiful escape from the everyday.

Located in the heart of Tea plantation.

Long way from most things.

Everything was perfect. Bathroom was clean! Staff was nice and attentive.

Very friendly staff, especially Raj who took us for a tour of the tea plantation. Beautiful garden to sit in

Bathroom was a bit old

Beautiful house and surroundings! It is a bit further away from the city center but absolutely charming and you won’t have a problem getting to the center. The breakfast was really good too and the garden is absolutely beautiful! We would definitely recommend staying there if you are looking for a place.

nothing! :)

Very kind of British Style. Everything perfect. Especially the staff.

Peaceful stay on the outskirts of the town. The room was beautifully appointed, with a good strong shower, and a lovely breakfast prepared daily Raj took us for a walk around the tea garden which is literally on the door step, and he organised for me to try on a Tea collecting basket! We had a fabulous  balcony with our room, but the garden is so pretty  with hammocks and chairs it was a joy to sit there for a while too. The staff  cannot do enough for you, ( including getting train tickets at a very reasonable price), special shout out to Raj and Vinu who are on site to assist.

Everything. Clean and comfortable room. Very polite staff… I recommend this place… :)

Nothing.

One of the worker was quite nice to us. They prepared delicious breakfast and gave a gift at the end of our stay. The garden was great but we did not have enough time to spend time over there.

The room and common area were not clean enough. The furniture in the room and the things were old and stained. I saw another comment about that in the previous comments but the owner answered that it is not real comment and unfortunately I believed his answer in the comment. When we entered the room I saw that it is definitely correct that the room was not clean and additionally the bathroom as well. We stayed at the room without view so I would not recommend anyone to stay there. I saw the other rooms they were looking clean compare to the one we stayed. Additionally, we wanted to go Dambro Tea Factory and asked them to organize a tour for us if it is possible. They proposed something quite high compare to what we find later. To be honest, I dont remember exactly the amount but approximately 5000 rupee for the tour then we decided to go there by bus which is cheapest option we thought. Then while waiting the bus we agreed with tuktuk driver to go-back there just in 1500 rupee. If you are planning to take a tour during your stay please think other options as well.

Poor cleaning, bugs, noise. Pictures are not aligned with reality. We payed $50 for a room with a window facing the yard, no sunlight and a lot of noise from a machine. Room is very dirty with insects. We couldn’t sleep during the whole night.

Excellent service by hoast Mr Raj. Very well maintain property... near to main road and have amazing tea fields. Breakfast is also good.

Room, staff, environment

Overall experience was fantastic from the moment I checked in. Ishaan was both friendly and attentive. The room was huge and offers a fantastic view of the tea plantation and surroundings. Room was clean and everything was well-provided. The location is also a short distance from the city, which is convenient but also avoids all the noise. Breakfast was great and the staff was there to attend to us every moment.

The room was quaint and cozy

Room was slightly smaller and you'd hit the bed too often trying to move around

Staff were friendly and helpful.. rooms are big and clean.. requests are honoured..

Restaurant service should be added

Lovely location amongst the tea garden and morning breakfast

Nothing as such

Friendly host. Very attentive to service. Breakfast was excellent. Very good service overall.

A little bit out of the way but that's only a minor issue

Everything was super Neat and clean. Had all amenities we needed!! It’s close to the Nuwaraeliya town!! Beautiful surroundings with Tea gardens around the property. Vinu the caretaker was really caring, helpful and most importantly he was really attentive to all our queries!! They do provide you with a free tea plucking shoot!! Do not forget to make a use of it and get the experience!

Nothing

The staff stole from us. The staff kicked us off their property after check-out and did not allow us to keep vehicle / bags until later in the day (despite this being a very standard practice for hotels & air bnbs). The staff were aggressive and shouted at us. The staff refused to let us stand in the warmth of the property of use toilet facilities (until we pleaded) while we waited for out taxi despite it being very cold. The staff were generally very unpleasant. At one point the staff threatened to call the police rather than deal with our not unreasonable requests. I have never stayed in such an appalling establishment. I think that this 'bed and breakfast' or whatever it is should be closed down.

The property is located at a beautiful place close to the main town and amenities. The house was clean and kept well. Breakfast was good l. Rooms were slightly small but overall comfortable. The property owner was very helpful in booking train tickets for us from Nuvara Eliya to Ella.

There are a few things- 1. There is no service available other than breakfast so if you want to order any food, milk etc its not a possibility. We traveled with a baby and so found it difficult to adjust in a place without any kitchen facility. 2. There is a curfew. You have to be in the property by 9:30 pm which was very weird. If a property does not provide you with a facility to order dinner in-house as they don't have an operating kitchen, then at least allow the person time to go out and eat and be back. Besides anyway why would anyone tell a fully grown up adult on a holiday when they need to be back and in bed ? 3. There are common places like garden, dining hall and drawing room but we were discouraged by the staff to sit and talk or enjoy a drink in these places as they said the other guests ( who were in their room by the way) would get disturbed. I think when one books a property, it is understood that it needs to be shared with other guests, and you can't restrict one person to a certain area because someone else may mind. We paid equally for the property. Besides, out of the three rooms, we booked two. We are educated and civilized humans and not teenagers who need to be told to be confined into their room like in a hostel. 4. When we arrived, the caretaker left us post check in and vanished. We needed help with wifi, finding glasses and had other questions which we didn't know who would answer. 5. We didn't feel welcome at the place. From the moment we arrived, we felt like they couldn't wait for us to leave. There was a complete lack of warmth, which we felt immensely wherever else that we went in out 6 day trip.

The view of the tea plantation was so peaceful and scenic. The room was beautiful and comfortable. Breakfast was good and the staff were very welcoming.

The bathroom was clean but the grouting could do with a quick scrub/refresh.

Natural nuances and surrounded by tea garden!

They accommodated us to another loaction because of a religious festival close to the tea garden. Their hosting on the other location was also amazing and made us felt like home. We would definitely visit again

.

Friendly staff, clean room

Waited for hot water, a bit cold at night, internet was unstable, photos and reality a bit different

Nice garden where they served us ‘welcome tea’. The friendliness of the staff and ease of communication.

No proper light in the room or bathroom. This makes the place look shabby and it is impossible to put makeup on in that light. The bathroom was also very small and outdated. They don’t serve dinner or snacks ; must go in the city but that is close and also they give u the possibility to order pizza from a Pizza Hut nearby. The bed & pillows were hard but some people might enjoy that.

The hotel was converted from a house. It has a big garden and a common area with fully fitted kitchen. The host (Shameera) is very nice and helpful. He was also very communicative before and during our stay. Breakfast was also decent.

We booked the room without window, which may be a mistake. Although Nuwara has cooler climate compared to the rest of Sri Lanka, it gets stuffy and hot in the room. It is also worth flagging that the hotel is not close to the city centre so it takes extra time if you would like to go to town.

Great staff, beautiful views and homely property

Shower went hot and cold but other than that everything was perfect

Amazing place to stay, with lovely welcoming staff, especially Sameera who is the caretaker. All the staff are very hospitable and kind. The garden is very well maintained and you can see people working hard to upkeep. Don't miss going to Moon plains which is just five mins away from the back door (staff guided us). It is 10 mins away from the Gregory lake and you can easily get tuk-tuks once you step out to the main road which is couple of mins away. The balcony gives a nice country side view. The breakfast is amazing. Glad we did not book the usual hotel stay in Nuwara Eliya.

Tried very hard to think what we did not like. Just can't think of anything.

Awesome

The room was HUGE, balcony HUGE and breakfast out on the balcony in the morning was amazing and a huge highlight

The bathroom was very basic, but that's all

Amazing view. Greenary everywhere. The staff was very friendly. Breakfast was amazing. Very happy with the stay overall .

Room is little smaller

The place was incredible. It was clean and well maintained. The staff was very supportive and attentive. They gave us tips on what to do around. Great location

Our stay was absolutely delightful! The staff was amazing, ensuring our comfort and satisfaction. Very clean place! Breakfast was simply great and the garden in front of the house added such a lovely atmosphere to our experience.

All good.

walked in adjacent tea plantation, very helpful staff

Lovely building and interior design. Staff very friendly and always helpful and friendly.

However, we book the room on the ground floor with no view. Sadly it was extremely humid and the bath was very old school and used. Please do yourself a favor and book a better room. This one needs refurbishing. It was actually our worst experience in Sri Lanka.

The garden and house

Our room was dark and the bathroom had broken tiles and needed a thorough clean. We didn’t expect to have a ‘view’ but didn’t expect to look out to a brick wall, which was about a foot away from the window! I was unwell and had to spent the day in bed the electricity went out at 9am and he finally put the generator on 5.30pm after many complaints! First appearances promised much, really proved different.
