No faults. Cannot be faulted.

Bellwood Manor is immaculately and faultlessly furnished with an excellent staff. Every detail is designed and brilliantly executed. The food is brilliant with an excellent chef. I cannot recommend this stay more highly. It is a sheer pleasure to spend time at Bellwood Manor.

Absolutely delightful old Manor House, very comfortable, so relaxing. The staff are lovely and attentive, there’s a super restaurant and a snooker room, croquet, and a spa. We didn’t want to leave!

Service was flawless, staff very welcoming and all go the extra mile to make things comfortable and easy. The food was great, and on the day we left they went out of their way to sort food for us to take away very early. The interior is amazing, gardens and spa are great. The latter, you book out for an hour session when you want it so is very private too. 10/10

The positives far outweigh any small issues. Nothing to critique.

The Bellwood Manor is an excellent boutique hotel. It offers a quaint reminder of the colonial era with exceptional service and represents Sri Lanka very well. The staff are personal, attentive and responsive to any/all needs. The entire staff go above and beyond to make sure your stay is comfortable. Truly a remarkable service experience. The breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner service are designed to be personal and enjoyable; they will tailor the selection to your preferences. The property is exceptionally well maintained with a detail eye obvious in all the staff and leadership.

The Bellwood Manor was by far the best hotel we stayed at during our week in Sri Lanka – and honestly, one of the best places I’ve ever stayed at in all my travels. A charming manor full of character, set in a stunning location, where every single detail is thought through with so much care. From the moment we arrived, the staff were absolutely amazing – kind, attentive, and incredibly caring. We were truly pampered from start to finish, and I’ve never experienced service like that before. They even took the time to share the fascinating history of the manor, which made our stay even more special. The quality of both the interior and exterior is outstanding. The woodwork, the materials, the decor… everything is done with impeccable taste and gives off such a warm and luxurious atmosphere. Even the garden is immaculately maintained – the grass was trimmed like a golf course, which just shows how much pride they take in every corner of the property. The dinner was like something from a gourmet restaurant – refined, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The pool and sauna area, located in the old stables, is absolutely fabulous – luxurious, peaceful, and completely private for us. Our room was gorgeous, but the real standout was the exceptional bathroom – spacious, elegant, and just perfect. We also loved the billiard room, super classy, and the cozy bar, perfect for relaxing at the end of the day. We were genuinely and sincerely blown away by this place, and I recommend it wholeheartedly. One thing is certain: we’ll definitely be coming back!

The property is situated on top of the hill overlooking the horse racetrack. You can see the whole valley! The food was incredible - breakfast and a 6 course dinner. We took advantage of the lawn and played a few rounds of croquet. There is a spa on the property with a sauna and jacuzzi that we used in the evening. We also went on a horseback ride - the horses are brought to you. It was so memorable and an absolutely wonderful stay.

We had our room opposite of the Check-in, it was very loud, less privacy and bit cold. Otherwise the rooms offer s beautiful English Interior.

Very friendly Staff, attentioned to detail. The Manager Chandana sweetened up our Stay! From the Trainee Hikansa to Janaka and the Rest- Thanks for the hospitality !

Everything was excellent

Truly magnificent property that sweeps you make to yesteryear. The offerings, the staff and the rooms were sensational . Another standout is the food, Michelin standard 6 course meal to be remembered and great value at $60.

Stayed in March 2025

Apart from the excellent degustation menu there were no other offerings for dinner which was a shame and resulted in us venturing out for the 2nd and 3rd nights of our stay. The bathroom was small and had poor lighting. The staff in spa lacked the professionalism of the other staff …two of the three days of our stay the sauna and steam room were not ready for our allotted time.

Absolutely immaculate presentation from the grounds to the bedrooms, restaurant, bar and all communal areas. Staff professional. Food was exceptional both the breakfast and the degustation menu…high quality food and fantastic presentation. The chef does an excellent job. The trainee waitresses were great also. Liked one could exclusively book the pool, sauna and steam room for one hour each day.

The hotel was amazing - clean, big rooms, well appointed, great facilities, etc. But the highlight was definitely the staff - they went out of their way to make our stay special. Special thanks to Janaka, who was a gem!

Bellwood Manor is an absolute gem! The property is beautifully decorated and impeccably clean, with a cozy, intimate atmosphere thanks to its small number of rooms—it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The staff were not only very friendly but also incredibly accommodating, making our stay seamless and enjoyable. The location is perfect for exploring Nuwara Eliya, and the stunning views from the manor of horses, cricket fields, and tea plantations add to its charm. The spa is a true highlight; the masseuse is phenomenal, and we’ve never felt more relaxed. The chef and service staff are top-notch, delivering an exceptional fine dining experience (while making kid-friendly meals as needed, too). This stay was rejuvenating for my entire family, including my young son. I can’t recommend Bellwood Manor enough—it’s a haven of tranquility and hospitality! While the drive up to Nuwara Eliya can be tough, I would come back to Bellwood Manor in a heartbeat.

The beds were a little bit hard for us but other people may think differently. There was also bright light shining underneath our door from the hallway all night, maybe something underneath the door to block out the light would help?

The welcome into the hotel was fabulous, we received a flower garland, some tea, a massage and a tour of the hotel, including meeting the chef personally. Our room was beautifully decorated and being from England, it felt like a home from home for us. The plunge pool/ sauna was fantastic and we were grateful we could book this area to have it to ourselves. We had the 6 course tasting menu for dinner both nights which was about £40 per person - unbelievable value for the food that was served. Michelin star level food at dinner and breakfast, everything tasted divine.
