A nice big room with a comfortable bed and views out over the outskirts of the town and onto the tea plantations. There's also a common area with sofa and dining table. Breakfast that was included in the room price was good typical Sri Lankan. I also had an evening meal on both nights which was ok and saved me going into town but wasn't great if I'm honest. Location is around 15 minutes walk to Lovers Leap waterfall. And there's a bus stop a few minutes walk away where buses are every few minutes and cost 35 rupees in to the town centre.

Appleton Villa is a true hidden gem in the middle of nowhere—exactly the kind of place you dream of discovering! The villa is incredibly stylish, with an elegant design and a cozy atmosphere. From the moment we arrived, the staff was beyond attentive, ensuring we had the most comfortable stay. We were welcomed with a lovely cup of tea, and though we weren’t hungry, the mouthwatering aromas from the kitchen were hard to resist. The next morning, we were treated to an absolutely incredible breakfast. The entire stay was flawless—smooth check-in and check-out, spotless cleanliness, and a wide range of services available. The villa also offers super-fast WiFi, streaming channels in the room, and spacious, beautifully designed accommodations. If you're looking for a peaceful yet luxurious escape near Nuwara Eliya, this is the perfect spot. Highly recommended! 🌿✨

Sanjay arranged us a tuktuk from the Nanuoya train station, was always in touch with us even before we came. Then he welcomed us with some tea and ginger cookies. We liked them so much that my husband asked for more and Sanjay brought them immediately. We had a very delicious lunch there which his wife cooked for us. We also had dinner there and they asked what we would like to have. I asked a vegetable salad and my husband had kottu, everything very delicious. Even their children made sure we had a lovely time there, I was deeply touched by this hospitality. It felt like I was visiting my family. Be aware that it’s a bit cold in the evening at that area but we had a good sleep with warm blankets. There’s hot water in the shower and the bathroom itself was clean. They also recommended that we hike to the waterfall and even a cafe in Ella. He also explained us how to get to Unawatuna from Ella

    The room is very well maintained for a comfortable and reasonable price. The staff is also a very nice and kind bunch. It can be called a very good accommodation because of the ability to observe the beauty of the surroundings from the room. Anyone can suggest staying at this place without any fear or doubt.

    The owner is really helpful and even prepared to take us to the railway station inhumanely early in the morning. The breakfast is the best I have had in my entire holiday. The stay was already lovely and inviting, with lovely hosts, great breakfast and good value. The surprise was the host's family history. His father was a Kandyan dancer who performed for Zhou Enlai!

He brought us directly some nice tea and also prepared some breakfast. He is very passionate about improving his property. The accommodation is a bit outside of the center, but you can easily walk to the city in 15-20 min.

    The cottage is located up the hill with a wonderful view. Compared to our other accommodations it’s quite and beautiful just 10 minutes outside of Newara Eliya. You can reach the city by bus, the bus stop is just down the hill. Vasanth was our host and did an amazing job. He served excellent breakfast and we felt like home. Nothing was missing and the beds were really comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and can highly recommend this cottage.

    Our stay at the Star holiday home was extremely pleasant. The accomodation itself was super clean, and cozy, in Nuwara Eliya where the climate is much cooler than the rest of the country. Not only was the stay refreshing, the owner is a sweet lady who taught us who to cook curry. This is a perfect spot to relax.
