Situated in Nuwara Eliya, 1.6 km from Gregory Lake, W15 Lake Gregory features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. Boasting a concierge service, this property also provides guests with a barbecue. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. Absolutely fantastic place to stay. Probably one of the best places I have ever stayed. The staff were so accommodating and friendly from start to finish. The room was spotlessly clean, had all amenities and was beautifully designed. The front garden to which we had access from our rooms was a lovely place to relax in the evening. We had our evening meal in the hotel because we thought it would be extra special because of how luxury the place was when we arrived and we were right. The food was superb. The breakfast was absolutely wonderful as well. Due to the area having a cooler climate to other parts of the island they even provided us with a hot water bottle before bed. The room also had a superb tea selection. I will most definitely be recommending this accommodation to anyone visiting Sri Lanka.

Excellent dinner for really affordable price and enormous breakfast with so many choices. Swimming pool within the beautiful garden, but it was a bit chilly. Sauna ready at request and games room to mingle with the rest of the guests. What else to say. I just wish we spent more time at this place. If you travel between Kandy and Ella, this is the place to stay.

The spacious villa comes with a cable flat-screen TV. Guests can enjoy an ambient stay in their soundproof room with parquet floors and a fireplace. For added privacy, the accommodation features a private entrance. Our two-night honeymoon stay at Oliphant in Nuwara Eliya was nothing short of magical. This beautifully preserved 1800s property, nestled within a tea plantation, perfectly balances historical elegance with intimate boutique hotel service. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable, especially during my husband's birthday celebration. They arranged beautiful room decorations and even helped me in surprising my husband with a cake – touches that made the occasion truly special. The hotel's location is a highlight, offering peaceful morning walks through the surrounding tea plantation. The property's rich heritage is evident in every corner, providing an authentic glimpse into Sri Lanka's colonial past. Special mention must go to Lakshman, whose attentive service really made our experience special. The entire staff demonstrated professionalism while maintaining a warm, personal approach. The food was delicious and the chef went out of his way to prepare a beautiful cake for us during our stay! For those seeking a tranquil retreat in Nuwara Eliya with impeccable service, Oliphant is an outstanding choice. It's perfect for couples wanting an intimate, peaceful escape with personalized attention.

Featuring a spa bath and garden view, La Grande Villa is located in the centre of Nuwara Eliya. This property offers access to a terrace, a pool table, free private parking and free WiFi. The villa features family rooms and facilities for disabled guests. Everything here is perfect, it was quite possibly the best place we have stayed in Sri Lanka and that includes places like the Heritance Kandalama which was dramatically more expensive. The property: Perfectly manicured and beautiful gardens with flowers everywhere. The building is beautiful with detailed wood finishing on all surfaces except the floor which is covered in beautiful plush carpeting which contributes to reduced noise from people walking around. All guests and staff remove their shoes and wear provided slippers around the property to ensure the floors are nice and clean. There’s also a pool table in the lobby. The room: A+ comfortable bed with down duvet, crisp sheets and more pillows than Martha Stewart would have on her bed - with a variety of thickness and firmness so anyone’s preference will be met. Super clean from top to bottom, excellent bathroom and shower with stone finishing and a jacuzzi tub which we used and it worked well. Television with Comedy Central so that made me happy at night. Clean glasses, coffee, tea, and one of the few rooms in Sri Lanka with a working refrigerator that had a small freezer for ice which was readily available from the hotel. Breakfast: We had the western and it was fantastic. I’m sure the Sri Lankan breakfast would be even better. Too much food though. Location: walking distance to the town center but far enough that it was very quiet at night and minimal tuktuk noise in the morning. Staff: attentive, kind, service oriented and professional - we have found this to be standard throughout Sri Lanka but it was even better here.
