The place was kept in immaculate condition with brilliant staff. The food served using their own organic produce was delicious.

Abdul Hong Kong

I liked everything about the place. The staff was very helpful. The breakfast was excellent. On the day we were checking out they even prepared a simple lunch for my 1yo. Will revisit for a longer stay.

Udaya Sri Lanka

Where to start...the bed was the comfiest I’ve slept in in a long, long time. The type you sink into with feather down pillows and duvet and crisp white cotton sheets. The staff and quality of the service was impeccable from start to finish, nothing was too much trouble and they went the extra mile at every turn for example meeting you in the garden as you returned home from a trip with cold towels and drinks. The food was marvellous- cooked to perfection and the menu varied to accommodate preferences and dietary requirements. The gardens are so lovingly tended and the house steeped in nostalgia. It took me back to my childhood. A truly magical place with service that the George V would struggle to provide.

Kellie United Arab Emirates

Beautiful stunning property with the loveliest staff who spoilt us

Host Info

Host Review Score 9.8

Set amongst the stunning tea plantations in Sri Lanka, Stafford Bungalow is a family heritage holiday home, initially built by the pioneering Scottish planters in 1884. It is located in the outskirts of the Hill resort of Nuwara Eliya, approximately 30 minutes’ drive through the picturesque tea country and bordering the town of Ragala. Stafford Bungalow is now open to guests to share the experience of living in this exclusive planter's bungalow within a 50 acre working tea plantation. It is located amongst one of the finest tea fields in the world, in a private and stylish ambience. Rest and rejuvenate while enjoying the salubrious cool climes of the 'Tea Country', take a walk along one of the many trails that wind their way through the luscious tea bushes, or just simply enjoy freshly brewed tea and scrumptious baked scones on the perfectly manicured 'Blue Grass' garden, immersing in nostalgia of the days gone by.
