    Eranga was a really kind and helpful host. Always willing to share a cup of tea or an advice for places to visit around. The place is a bit outside of the centre but it offers beautiful view of the countryside. There is a vegetarian restaurant just round the corner with amazing and cheap curry. The room is very cosy and a thick duvet for cold nights is provided.

    We had an absolutely fantastic time at Glenfiddich cottage. The view of Gregory Lake and the charming front garden were simply breathtaking. The cottage itself was so cozy and homely, making it the perfect retreat for our two-day stay. Special thanks to Mr. Shiva for his exceptional culinary skills – every meal was a delight! We're also incredibly thankful for Mr. Rohan, the friendly manager, who made our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, it was an unforgettable getaway in Nuwara Eliya, and we can't recommend Lakeside cottages enough.
