Situated in Nuwara Eliya and only 3.8 km from Gregory Lake, Shevyhaws features accommodation with garden views, free WiFi and free private parking. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. First of all, the room is clean, comfy and spacious. There is a common space to enjoy coffee and tea. The breakfast was above expectations, good quantity and the taste was fantastic. Then the hosts are amazing. Their recommendations are super valuable. Chami the host drove us around and spent a lot of time with us. To be honest it felt amazing to have such a welcoming host and we felt very lucky to have that experience. It was maybe one of our best days in Sri Lanka. If you're arriving they can offer a pick up for a small fee. We're already looking forward to our next visit! We will not only come back as guest but also as friends.

At the guest house, the units come with a desk. With a private bathroom fitted with a bath and free toiletries, units at the guest house also have free WiFi. At the guest house, units are equipped with bed linen and towels. The house is a 110 years old, British structure with high beam ceilings. It is located near the city town by tuktuk, 25 minutes walk to the lovers leap waterfall. After a long train ride from Colombo, booking this homestay is the most wise decision i did! The house is super clean and quiet. The room is so spacious and smells amazing! Bath towels and warm blankets are there. The bathroom is super clean and there’s a hot shower which very amazing as the weather here is cold! The owner are supeeeer kind, he give a tuktuk ride and tea factory tour with a very reasonable price . By the way he can pick you up from the train station with a very fair price plus he’ll keep stopping every beautiful view to explain the place and let you indulge the beauty of their town. The wife prepared the breakfast and it is super delicious! I highly recommend this for family or group of friends! Worth every penny!

Located in Hatton, within 41 km of Gregory Lake and 32 km of Adam's Peak, White House Bungalow Hatton provides accommodation with a terrace as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The guest house features family rooms. It was our best accommodation in Sri Lanka so far! The room and bathroom were clean, the water warm, the view from the balcony spectacular. The bed was big and comfy as well. The host was very kind and hospitable, he helped us with renting the scooter, prepared very tasty breakfasts with fresh fruits and even checked on us after we left for the further travelling :) the contact was unproblematic, right after we arrived we were given the numbers (phone and WhatsApp) that we can contact anytime we need something.

Set in Hatton, within 47 km of Gregory Lake and 24 km of Adam's Peak, Traveller's Villa offers accommodation with a garden as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The property has garden views. The guest house features family rooms. Loved the view from the balcony, the hot water shower was the hottest with the highest pressure in all of Sri Lanka! The food that they cooked up was some of the best I've had in Sri Lanka, especially the mushroom curry.

Offering a garden and garden view, RC AWKWARD is situated in Nuwara Eliya, 1.5 km from Gregory Lake and 5.4 km from Hakgala Botanical Garden. This guest house provides a shared lounge. There is free private parking and the property features paid airport shuttle service. The room was clean and equipped with blankets, which was great because it sometimes got a bit chilly. The breakfasts were very good, and Rajith is a very kind and helpful person – it was a pleasure talking with him. There's a bus stop right next to the property, which makes it easy to get to the city center. I definitely recommend this place!

Well located in Adams Peak, Water Side Residence provides a continental breakfast and free WiFi. This guest house offers free private parking and room service. The accommodation features private check-in and check-out and a tour desk for guests. We have just stayed at Water Side Residence for one night to climb the Adam‘s Peak. The location is only a 5 mins walk away from the entrance of Adam’s peak trail. Rooms are clean and providing everything you need. Ruwan and his wife are the most welcoming hosts always making sure you are comfortable and providing very delicious and home cooked food in their cafeteria. We can especially recommend the coconut roti which was the best of our trip so far. Ruwan also took care of the pick-up from Hatton station same as the transport to Nuwara Eliya and both drives were including stops for nice photo shoots. We can definitely recommend staying here! :)

I’m glad we stayed in Dalhousie, has a festive vibe because of the pilgrimage.
