Heritance Tea Factory, hotel in Nuwara Eliya

Heritance Tea Factory Offers you the ultimate colonial- style stay experience enhanced by the tea plantation and the misty mountains.

Truly exceptional service. Every member of staff down to the "trainees" in the restaurant were incredibly warm and attentive. I stayed with my Mum and every member of staff seemed to go above and beyond to ensure we were constantly greeted with a smile and cared for. This was our favourite hotel to stay at in Sri Lanka.

    it's great place but for foreigner they charge fees for everything such as entry fee to enter the place to visit and there is no any free facility which is not good. as a traveler we are going to visit city and promote the city on our social networks therefore we should have some facility to get some exempt the charges to view more about city. every attraction they have entry fee.

    A good place for visiting the Horton Plains National Park- negociate locally for the 40 min drive in a Tuk Tuk ( 9000 lks is about right). It has a nice lake to walk around. The Rough Guide though old is still very useful. The centre is small and compact with good facilities .. The exception is the 'Tourist Office' close to the bus station.. It is close to useless - dont look for impartial advice as the owner has his own Tuk Tuk!. Victora Park is worth a stroll.

    Quaint little town in the hills.

    Quaint little town in the hills. So, cooler climate and perfect spot to take a break from the sweltering heat in Colombo. La Grande Villa is just a 10 minute walk from town and a 5 bedroom boutique hotel, which makes it the ideal place for a quiet, restful stop before Ella.

    Nuwara Eliya is a sleepy town nestled within acres of tea estates , which has maintained a lot of its colonial buildings that it almost looks like a different country altogether. Hence the name Little England. It is best suited for an Individual or family that is looking to just relax at one property with great views , dabble in luxury (there are a few options) , do a little bit of sightseeing (all nature related) and experience the architecture of the town itself. It’s non-touristy.. None of the places we visited were crowded or dirty. The town sleeps by 10pm.

    we spent 2 days in the off season (mid feb 2024) which was perfect, no overcrowding, mad traffic and great weather. We stayed 1 night in a studio apartment and 1 night at a small guest house both were perfectly maintained and very nice accommodations well worth the price. check the weather and go in the off season to enjoy and relax in NE as it should be done!

    Such a lovely place to stay, we were glad to be slightly away from the centre of town. Kushan was a brilliant host, we could have come with no plans at all and he would have ensured we had lots to do to make the most of our time in Nuwara Eliya and onwards! Pedro Tea Estate is a short walk through the tea plantation from the cabin. Breakfast was delicious and the perfect amount, we could choose from Sri Lankan or Western breakfast (we had Sri Lankan). There's a lovely view from the tree house where food is served.

    Staying at the hotel is a fantastic experience. It seems like our own house. The room was very comfortable, the washroom very spacious. The owner & staff are so kind & treated us very kindly. Breakfast is amazing! Highly recommend this hotel to the visitors. Around the scenery is beautiful. Its walking distance from the hotel to Gregory lake is another chance to walk. Furthermore, I think it's a fantastic experience We gained Nuwara Eliya from this excellent Queensland Hotel hotel. Thanks.

    Brilliant selection of food that varied daily. The grounds are SENSATIONAL - my goodness they absolutely make the stay! Attentive staff. We often had the rooftop bar to ourselves all morning to be in the sun. The pool could be busy, but often we had it to ourselves. There’s plenty to do in town and the hotel provides complimentary driver’s accommodation too which is brilliant. Lovely little leaving treats too when we checked out which was a nice touch.

    The host (aka the boss of restaurant) and the staff were friendly and always ready to help. Our room is cute, it's behind the restaurant but privacy is protected. There's no fan in the room, but the weather at nuwara eliya was cool at night. They provided a thick blanket. 5-8minutes walking distance to the center bus stop. Very strategic location, easy to get food near by.

    The hosts are friendly, helpful and supportive. The bathroom is clean and the location is walkable from the bus stop, (about 20 minutes). I got lost, but I called the host, and he picked me up on his motor bike! A cute and cuddly cat lives in the house as well. A good one night stay in Nuwara Eliya when arriving late or leaving early.
