We absolutely loved everything about our stay there. It was an amazing experience! The property is very charming and conserves an old Scottish style, but it also offers all the modern comforts. The view is spectacular, breakfast and dinner were delicious, and the staff incredibly welcoming and helpful.

A Hidden Gem in Nuwara Eliya – Exceeded All Expectations! I had the pleasure of staying at Highland Stonehouse during my visit to Nuwara Eliya, and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience! The location is perfect—just a short distance from the city center, yet tucked away in a serene spot that offers a peaceful escape from the bustling town. The highlight of my stay was undoubtedly the incredible staff. Their hospitality went above and beyond my expectations. From the moment we arrived, they were attentive, friendly, and always eager to help. They made us feel truly at home. The stonehouse itself is charming, with its unique design and picturesque setting. The views from the property are stunning, and it’s such a treat to wake up every morning to the beauty of the surrounding landscape. If you're looking for a cozy, comfortable place to stay with top-notch service and an authentic Nuwara Eliya experience, Highland Stonehouse is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!

Exceptional Hospitality and a Beautiful Stay We had an unforgettable experience at Lavender house. Even though we arrived late at 11:00 PM, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome by providing a fantastic dinner. Their kindness and attention to detail truly stood out. It’s hard to put into words just how beautiful this place is—it’s something you need to see to believe! Every moment spent here was worth every penny, and the ambiance was absolutely perfect. A special thanks to Saman, whose exceptional service made our stay even more memorable. If you’re considering a visit to Sri Lanka, I wholeheartedly recommend Lavender house. You won’t regret it!

Everything about the villa was amazing. From the luxurious interior to the breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains, dam and tea plantations, our experience here was wonderful and a much needed getaway in an extremely calm and serene place. We were hosted by the very warm and cheerful Akila and served delicious meals prepared by the talented in-house chef.

Nice property in the high mountains of Sri Lanka with beautiful vistas on the agricultural landscape and mountains. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. The staff is literally running for you. The chef is serving a delicious diner. Pool table room with fantastic view. They try to position themselves on a luxury boutique level Realize you are on 2000mtr altitude so it is totally different from the rest of Sri Lanka. The sauna is gr8 on windy rainy days and the pool then serves to cool down.

We stayed at this hotel for just two nights. As our stay was during low season, we (4 adults + 1 child) had the hotel to ourselves. The location of the hotel, although a little distance from the town centre, was superb. The staff (especially, Budhika, the Duty Manager) were exceptionally friendly and helpful - nothing was too much. The hotel was clean and the rooms were very comfortable. The food was of a high standard and, again, the Duty Chef was more than happy to meet our requests. We would highly recommend this 7 room boutique hotel.

La Grande Villa is a must to do if you are coming at NUWARA ELIYA. You can feel the luxury England atmosphere everywhere. The room is fabulous, the food is delicious and all the staff was so caring, so helpful and so nice. You can count on the receptionist Farhan if you need anything, count on the chef if you want to eat Sri Lankan, Indian or English food and count on the staff to makes you feel like a VIP guest. Thanks to all of you for this unforgettable stay. I warmly recommend that place.
