We had such a lovely stay at the Magnolia Hideout. The house is gorgeous and it felt very homely after a long week of travelling. We loved the wooden furnishings, the cleanliness and the view from the house. Thanks so much for a wonderful time!

My family had a wonderful stay in this place! Quite and safe place and away from the busy part of the area, wonderful views! Very huge space for our family of 5. The best view from the front balcony, which was our favorite spot watching as the sun rises. And the balcony at the back was amazing. The forest as well gives you the feeling of serenity looking at the tallest trees. The staff were really attentive and took care of us, very helpful. And that is the best thing you would want to have when you are in a home away from home.

The host cooked us a fantastic dinner, really recommended to take up his offer, and the breakfast was also great. The location was very interesting, close to Pedro's Tea Factory where the Pekoe trail ends (host drove us to the beginning of the trail in our own car and we walked back).

Beautiful peaceful location out of town, beside the highest village in Sri Lanka. Surrounded by tea plantations and other small cultivations, and inside the grounds is a perfectly tended garden and very professional welcome from the small team. Short walks available to a viewpoint amongst the tea. Room and bathroom both spacious and as in the photos. Dinner and breakfast both delicious. The banana bread in particular! No problem to order us a taxi to go to the station the next morning too. More expensive than the average accommodation, but certainly value for money compared to other similar high-end “boutique” accommodations in Sri Lanka (which can start at $900 per night - and I’m not sure the extra butler would be worth the difference!)

    A return visit to this charming colonial bungalow after a few years was just as delightful as I remembered! The rooms are clean and comfortable as always, and the fireplace added a cozy touch. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the service of Waruna was very very good! Ensuring a pleasant stay. The location is excellent; within easy walking distance to Nuwara Eliya city and surrounded by so much to do in the neighborhood. I completely enjoyed my stay.

    Kent Cottages in Nuwara Eliya deserves a big high-five! Mr. Nalaka, the caretaker, made our stay feel like a breeze – super friendly vibes. The Bungalow itself is a charming dream with its English-style magic. Rooms? Absolutely adorable. Staff? Total rockstars. And let's talk about the food – it was a taste explosion! Kent Cottages, you've got the 5-star game strong. Cheers to a fab stay!

    We had an absolutely fantastic time at Glenfiddich cottage. The view of Gregory Lake and the charming front garden were simply breathtaking. The cottage itself was so cozy and homely, making it the perfect retreat for our two-day stay. Special thanks to Mr. Shiva for his exceptional culinary skills – every meal was a delight! We're also incredibly thankful for Mr. Rohan, the friendly manager, who made our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, it was an unforgettable getaway in Nuwara Eliya, and we can't recommend Lakeside cottages enough.
