we spent 2 nights. the tea estate walk was a highlight as were the staff and the cuisine. Place is amazing with attention to detail. Trip to Mini Worlds End and Pedro Tea Factory were great. Cant wait for the new dining area and pool.

What an absolute little gem. From the quaint Stone bungalow to the tea estates surrounding it and the little stream that flows by, the ambience of the hotel screams perfection. The food here is amazing, particularly the rocca salad. The four course dinner menu that is served in the game room by a dimly lit fireplace is a true experience. The staff - Sathees, Nirosh, Anura, Janaka, and Ranjith - are amazing and very quick on their feet. Don't forget to say hello to their fur friends Jumbo and Nancy when you drop by.

The place is heaven on earth. Right temperature, quiet, lots of greenery, flowers, birds around and in the middle of tea plantation. Service is excellent very english.

Our stay here was a magical experience. The drive over from Colombo was rather rough (around 6-7 hours depending on traffic) but we were handed cool towels and a really nice lunch when we arrived. The Master Suite we stayed in was nicely laid out with a really comfortable bed and plush bathroom (with a rain shower!). There are no printed menus (apart for a Gin menu in the evening!) so all the meals here are catered to what you like to eat. We tried omelettes and pancakes for breakfast which were amazing, scrumptious high tea, and amazing 5-course dinners which featured fresh ingredients from their garden. The food and service were outstanding. Stafford is a really relaxing place for some peace and quiet! You can go on walks through the nearby tea estate. There are activities (tea walks, tennis, mini golf, crocquet, bird watching) that you can do for an extra fee. Perfect is an understatement to describe Stafford Bungalow!

Fantastic place. Very quiet and out of the way. Not much to do here other than relax and enjoy the hospitality and amenities. Breakfast is fresh fruit, eggs, toast, pastries, and tea/coffee. High tea with scones, biscuits, and sandwiches. Gin and tonic at 6:30. Formal coursed dinner at time of choosing. Unfortunately, because it's a bit remote, calling, even via wifi, is almost impossible. You're really isolated while here!

Stafford Tea Bungalow is a luxury boutique hotel located in Ragala (Nuwa Eliya Region). You can spend your vacation in an environment where the warm sunshine mingles with the cool breeze. Wherever you look, you see only a green environment. Words cannot describe the healing it gives to the eyes. We can also experience how the English lived in these areas during the colonial period. ❤️ Also, the renovations that have been done have been done in a way that does not harm the architecture of the colonial period. Also, the value added by the very valuable works of art everywhere cannot be overstated.

Beautiful planters bungalow tastefully adopted to modernity in style and service. Good cuisine with a wide selection and elegantly served .

Well located . Beautiful scenery .Excellent service .. Highly recommended ..

This is a small, medium range hotel set amongst acres of tea plantations. It is at high altitude and so is much colder than areas at sea level and there is a lot of rain. Good for the tea, but less so for the tourist as it leaves the room feeling quite damp because of the low temperature. The hotel provides heating in the rooms, hot water bottles for the beds and open fires in the lounge and restaurant. Except in the height of summer these are definitely needed. Food is acceptable but relatively uninspiring with limited choice, although this just reflects the fact that it is a small hotel. Staff are friendly and helpful and will organise walks around the area. The local town is also just a short walk away. Overall an interesting stop for a night or two and a break from the heat of the island at lower levels

Drive around the country lanes of Britain and you come upon this lovely old cottage. There’s a white picket fence around the manicured lawn, dahlias, rhododendrons and lilies bloom in the garden. Well we just arrived there, except its not Britain its tea country Sri Lanka. As the weather had cooled slightly we were warmly welcomed with a hot towel and cup of hot chocolate (marshmallows on top of course) whilst we completed check in formalities. We had booked the Master Suite on a half board basis and were shown to and around the facilities of our accommodation whilst our luggage was brought to our room. The room, as does the whole of the premises, gave the feel of a country estate from times gone by and reflecting the character of the pioneering Scottish owners. The main part of the suite consisted of a luxurious four poster bed with a large area of rich polished wood flooring around it. A sizeable desk and chair provided room to work if required, utilising the complimentary WiFi, plus a couple of chairs gave a place to relax. The wardrobe incorporated a mini safe and a hair dryer hung in a bag close to the bathroom. There was a heater and ceiling fan to warm or cool as required. A call button gave us access to a member of staff 24 hours, who would supply anything extra you required e.g. an iron and board (or they would do the ironing for you). Outside a private patio area had a settee and two chairs to sit on and look out over a small area of garden. In the sizeable bathroom there was a rain shower and complimentary toiletries e.g. shower gel, shampoo. The toiletries were provided in refillable bottles (as was the filtered water in the main room), a welcome contribution to reducing the use of single use plastic. No need to worry if it’s been raining and you want to go for a splash in any puddles, wellies were in the room for use during your stay. High tea was included in the room rate and could be served indoors or outside on the lawn as desired and weather conditions permitted. It was a beautiful afternoon on our arrival, so we took tea on the lawn, a tasty and interesting variant on traditional afternoon tea. During tea we agreed on a time for dinner as well as what would be served. We were happy with the suggested menu but were informed we could have what (I assume within reason) we wanted and have it when we wanted it. Also included was an interesting tour of the tea estate (90 mins walk) and after seeing all the hard work that goes into growing and picking it, we’ll never take a cup of tea for granted again. We also saw the vegetable gardens and the terraced cultivation. An interesting and informative tour. Many other activities were also available, such as bird watching, tennis courts etc. Relaxing on the loungers on the lawn or reading (watching a DVD) in the library was also an option. The following morning we took breakfast on the lawn, a combination of refreshing fresh fruit and a cooked plate of our choice. I had eggs Benedict, with tomato and hash browns. Dinner was proceeded by a gin and tonic in the lounge and the five courses were beautifully served, mouth watering and delicious. Its a standard of food and service that one would be delighted with on a high end cruise ship. There appears to be step free access from the car park and all areas of the bungalow I used. The staff told me that the master suite shower opening is wide enough to accommodate a wheelchair and that wheelchair guests have used that suite before, however they do not have specific disabled facilities. As always, prospective guests with mobility issues should check to see if their specific needs can be accommodated. Thank you Stafford Bungalow for a delightful stay and the complimentary night during our two night stay. We’d love to return and next time we’ll stay for an extra day.

I think it’s one of my favourite stay so far. Picture perfect, admist a tea plantation, surrounded by undisturbed nature, tea estates & Mountains full of greenery. Food is fresh as ever with homegrown vegetables, fresh meat, dairy & Poultry. Such a perfect Home in the hills.A wonderful place to stay in Staffod Banglow if you want comfort, luxe and good atmosphere. The food is very good and employees so kindle and nice !! Rooms as very comfortable and for a very good price, we loved our stay here, don't hesitated to book

What a unique, relaxing place. We were recommended by friends and it has not disappointed. It is set with a tranquil tea plantation with exceptional views, the accommodation is luxurious. Faris and his team could not do enough to enhance our experience from a plantation tour with the plantation manager to personal tea tasting, high tea one afternoon and even time spent in the new infinity pool. The food has also been superb.

Most memorable exclusive & peaceful holiday in the hilside tea estate bliss if not expereinced one can dream of its existence. Class service, perfect food with minimum disturbance makes you want to go every weekend just under an hour from busy Nuwara Eliya town

Amazing property and views. Staff service was extraordinary. They go extra mile to give you comfort
