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!

We had the lucky experience of staying 2 nights in the W15 Lake Gregory. It is a boutique hotel and a perfect escape if you're looking for peace and tranquility. Given the smaller set up compared to most hotels, the hospitality is uncomparable. There is always someone available, very welcoming and with smiles. A standout 10/10 experience, that I would highly recommend to anyone is the cooking class! My partner and I had chef Mano teaching us how to cook local dishes. Outside of the cooking class, when we first arrived the team helped us with our laundry and shared what types of activities we could do in the vacinity. In the two days we've: - Cycled around the lake, it's a perfect 5km loop. It's a lovely jog too. - There's a swimming pool as part of the hotel to cool off. - Rented a speed boat on the lake, there's a fair amount of birds for those that like to take pictures of local wildlife. - Horse Riding, there are loads of horses in the vicinity that you can pet. - Board games, badminton raquets etc.

Staying at Bluechip Summer Bungalow was absolutely magical. The location, right in the middle of a tea plantation, and the beautiful British-style house surrounded by gardens make you feel part of Nuwara Eliya’s history. Our room was huge, with the most comfortable bed we had during our trip in Sri Lanka. The staff was extremely attentive and professional and the food was simply outstanding.They even arranged a walk for us to Lovers Leap waterfall, which is easily accessible from the hotel and was a perfect experience. A truly authentic stay in “Little England”. Highly recommended for anyone looking for charm, comfort, and a genuine atmosphere.

We loved the views, the service and the ‘home away from home’ feel. The hotel manager was absolutely incredible and the best host we have had in Sri Lanka. Thanks for having us! Just note the accomodation is quite far away from Nuwara Eliya town, and is more of a remote getaway.

Upon arrival we were greeted by name and received a cup of tea with the check in process fast and efficient. Suraj and Gaming were always available to help with anything we needed, likewise Yaso was our butler who was always on hand to provide water, towels etc to our room. The food was incredible, something you would expect of a 5 star hotel in London. Pushparaj the chef at the Westbury put together a wonderful festive 4 course Christmas dinner in the dining room. The service was excellent! We missed breakfast as we wanted to lie in one morning & the staff brought the breakfast to our room (waffles, pancakes, eggs, fruit) similarly if we wanted to take the pastries away they would box them up for us.

    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.

    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.
