    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Wonderful Stay at Lily Bank Cottage!” Me and my wife stayed at Lily Bank Cottage in Nuwara Eliya and it was a truly pleasant experience. The price is very affordable compared to other places in the area. The cottage was clean, well-maintained, and had all the necessary facilities for a comfortable stay. The owner was very kind and helpful, making sure we felt welcome and cared for throughout our visit. The breakfast provided was delicious and fresh, which made our mornings extra special. Overall, a great place for couples or families looking for a peaceful and affordable stay in Nuwara Eliya. Highly recommend!

    Unfortunately, it was quite noisy in the morning. If you're like us and enjoy sleeping in past 8 AM, be aware that the area outside the window gets lively early, making it hard to sleep longer. Also, there were renovations happening in the neighboring rooms, which added to the morning noise. It's something to keep in mind if you're looking for a quiet start to the day.

    We absolutely loved our room! Everything was beautifully designed and stylish. One of the most unique features of this room—and the hotel itself—was the private fireplace. It was an unforgettable experience to enjoy a real fire in the middle of the mountains. Truly special! Breakfast was delicious, the room was spotless, and the bed was incredibly soft and comfortable. The bedding felt warm and cozy. Honestly, I can say this was the smartest and most well-thought-out room we've stayed in during our entire month in Sri Lanka.

    The road to the place is steep but worth it.

    Very cute little cottage hidden in the hills. The host was very helpful and cooked a lovely breakfast for us. We wished we had longer to enjoy the room and to explore more of Nuwara Eliya.

    I had an absolutely amazing stay! The room was incredibly peaceful and offered a real sense of safety and comfort. The entire space was spotless — very well-cleaned and maintained to a high standard. It was also impressively spacious, well-organized, and fully equipped with all the necessary facilities, making it super convenient. What truly made the experience special were the owners — they were extremely friendly and always ready to help with anything needed. Their hospitality made me feel right at home. This place is a perfect getaway to relax and enjoy your holiday without any worries. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a calm, safe, and well-facilitated stay!

    The road to the place is down a very steep hill. Accessing it the first time is a bit daunting.

    I like the idea of a little fire place in the room. My wife and I stayed here and it was a very cozy room. Bathrooms are clean.

    Everything was great. We loved our stay. It feels like a home, surrounded by nature, the place has a great energy. It was extremely clean, the bed comfortable, nice garden (especially when the sun comes in the morning). Breakfast was delicious. We also enjoyed a sri lankan dinner cooked by the owner, it was very tasty and you could sense how fresh the ingredients are. The owner was very friendly, polite, always making sure we have everything we need. He also helped us to organize our day trip. We will be back!

    Have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised by this accommodation. Spacious room, great bed, enough blankets to be warm as it gets chilly in Nuwara Eliya, great bathroom and hot shower. I believe it to be the best accommodation I have had in Sri Lanka thus far. It is a bit away from the town center and uphill, but going down there is a good shortcut so you can walk the distance in 10mins. Going back from town it is a quick and inexpensive tuktuk ride away. Great breakfast too. All in all - a really great stay.

    Very nice room with comfortable bed and spotless bathroom! Host and his family were very helpful and accommodating- helped us book a tuk tuk the evening before to Horton Plains with a great driver and for a super reasonable price. Located just outside of town which we liked because it meant we were away from the hustle and bustle. Would definitely stay here again.
