The hotel is in the middle of the tea plantation with an incredible view. The staff is super kind and always available for any requests. The amenities are gorgeous and refined in all details, surrounded by a very well maintained garden. Dinner available (but you need to reserve) and breakfast was excellent. There’s also a lovely swing for instagram photos :) Would love to return!

Staying at The Westbury Palace in Nuwara Eliya was nothing short of magical. From the moment you arrive, you are transported back to 1800s England, with the historic charm of the castle exteriors complemented by its absolutely stunning interiors. Every detail inside the palace exudes elegance and refinement, making you feel like true royalty. The breathtaking views surrounding the hotel are matched only by the outstanding service. The staff go above and beyond to ensure your stay is perfect, and I’d like to extend a heartfelt thanks to Jamiulansar and Yaso, whose exceptional attention and kindness truly made our visit unforgettable. If you’re looking for a unique and luxurious experience, The Westbury Palace is a must-visit. It’s more than a hotel—it’s a journey through time, wrapped in comfort and beauty.

Roshan and his family are lovely people. The first night I arrived they were celebrating a birthday party and invited me to join and also eat their food. I drank arack and danced the night away. I couldn't walk for days after that and had a hangover the next day but it was all worth it. The room itself is cosy and the bed comfortable. If you want a nice friendly host family this is the one.

The hosts were absolutely wonderful. You aren’t staying on a boat don’t worry, this is a lovely little homestay with a guest house. The road is a little tricky to navigate in a vehicle but the will come and meet you and take you to the property. They offered dinner and breakfast which was made fresh and very tasty. A little pricier than restaurants but the stay is a very good price so it levels out. This is the perfect location if getting the train from Ambewela to Ella. Our host kindly walked us to the station and got some pics of us in front of the train and told us exactly how to get tickets and where to sit etc. I accidentally left something in the room and he came all the way back to the train to give it back and text me to say they’re memories - my heart! Just so incredibly kind and thoughtful. They will be extending their guesthouses and honestly if you want an authentic homestay out of the hustle and bustle of cities, this is perfect for you.

A very quality stay. The place is a former holiday house of Sri Lanka‘s (independent) first PM. It‘s a good, sturdy house whose architecture is influenced by that of England (a common thing in Nuwara Eliya in general). Our room was spacious, had a very nice view on (I reckon) their garden. Or, some plantation. Anyway, it was green and beautiful and moody (because it‘s raining pretty much non-stop in Nuwara Eliya). Bathroom was big and clean and with hot water. There was a bathtub beside the shower but we didn‘t give it a try. It felt like we were the only visitors and the guys were cooking just for us. Kind of a private chef experience. Food was good. However, don‘t take their Full English Breakfast option — it was mediocre at best. Their Indian and Lankan options are 10x better.

The location could not be more perfect. A gorgeous cottage right in the middle tea fields, you could not ask for a better way to experience the Nuwara Eliya/ Nanu Oya hill country. The staff were exceptional in theory professionalism and friendliness. The fppd was exquisite. And the view will be forever seared into my memory as what heaven might look like. If you manage to pull yourself away from the delights of the cottage, the Somerset Tea Factory tour was absolutely exceptional. My friend had already been on a tea factory tour and for me the trip was really perfunctory (when in Rome) but it was absolutely fascinating, I learned so much. I could not recommend it more. A top tea-er experience!!

A beautiful stay in every sense! The design is refined and full of old-world charm — from the furniture to the photographs that tell its story. The high tea with live music is simply amazing, and breakfast was equally impressive — especially the hopper. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive — Haroon from reception even got my favourite straw hat repaired and ironed within a couple of hours, bringing it back from complete ruin! I also enjoyed the well-equipped gym with great tips from the personal trainer, an outstanding full body massage, and a lovely selection of reasonably priced jewellery at the hotel shop. Truly exceptional service and attention to detail. Highly recommended.

Nestled deep in the heart of Sri Lanka’s central highlands,...

Nestled deep in the heart of Sri Lanka’s central highlands, Maskeliya is a place that feels like it was painted by nature itself. From the moment you begin your journey toward this hill country gem, the landscape begins to shift—lush greenery unfolds across rolling hills, mist dances over tea plantations, and the air grows cooler, fresher, more alive. Maskeliya isn’t just beautiful—it’s breathtaking. The views are beyond imagination. Wherever you turn, there’s something to marvel at: towering peaks wrapped in clouds, shimmering lakes nestled between valleys, and winding roads that seem to disappear into the horizon. It’s the kind of scenery that makes you pause, take a deep breath, and feel grateful just to witness it. And then there’s the weather. Perfect doesn’t even begin to describe it. The mornings are crisp and golden, with sunlight gently warming the hills. By midday, the breeze picks up, carrying the scent of wildflowers and fresh earth. Evenings are cool and serene, ideal for sipping a hot cup of Ceylon tea while watching the sky turn shades of lavender and rose. Whether you’re hiking toward Adam’s Peak, exploring the quiet charm of local villages, or simply sitting by a window and soaking in the view, Maskeliya offers something rare: a sense of peace, wonder, and connection to the natural world. It’s not just a destination—it’s an experience that stays with you long after you’ve left.

If you are into budget travel and want a genuine local experience, NanuOya is a good town to visit. It’s very close to the main tourist town Nuwara Eliya (approx 9km away) and has buses heading there every 20mins. You can also get there by train. The locals are very helpful and kind. You get a few places to eat food like South Indian dishes and koththu and a few places to buy liquor from. There are two waterfalls and the larger, wider one located inside the Glassough tea estate is a place where you can bathe in on a sunny day. It’s a lovely little town surrounded by tea estates!

The location is off-the-beaten track a bit if that’s what you like. Personally coming from England I didn’t need to see Nuwara Elyia (little England), little point when I live in England! I enjoyed being in the middle of nowhere and in a peaceful environment before hitting the city of Kandy.

Scenic tea plantations aplenty.

Scenic tea plantations aplenty. We visited Labookellie Tea Factory to understand tea production a bit more. Also visit a small strawberry farm which do not offer plucking so bigger outfit would be a better experience. NE was our rest stop for Horton Plains but Ohiya is a shorter ride there. Plus the road up from Ohiya side is a lot less bumpy and U zip through giant pine forests, a more beautiful experience from going via Pattipola entrance.
