Ferncliff Bungalow

This was my first visit to Ferncliff Bungalow in Nuwara Eliya, and it was amazing. We enjoyed it a lot because the hotel is boutique-style, surrounded by greenery, and has a beautiful antique look. We loved spending time both inside and outside, enjoying the fresh air and delicious dinner & breakfast. The food was made with a lot of care and consideration. The staff at Ferncliff were exceptionally warm and friendly. The bedrooms were excellent and spotlessly clean, like the rest of the hotel. Everything about the hotel felt magical. I would highly recommend it.

We recently stayed at Ferncliff Bungalow in Nuwara Eliya, and it was a fantastic experience. The bungalow has this old-world charm that makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time, but with all the modern comforts you need. The gardens with a view of Piduruthalagala, the tallest mountain and thyme, rosemary and apples growing are beautiful and perfect for a morning stroll with a cup of tea. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, Roshan took care of us perfectly well. making sure we had everything we needed. Having authentic chicken lamprais for Dinner and sri lankan string hoppers for Breakfast was delicious with fresh, local ingredients. It was a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and cozy retreat.

Lovely bungalow with garden and summer house. Gorgeous dark wood inside. Great curry dinner. Close to lovely Victoria Park and walkeable to tea plantations. While staying we had high tea at Hills Club, visited colonial buildings in town, visited Pedro Tea Estate and walked to a waterfall. Great service at Ferncliff. Recommended!

A lovely escape in the heart of Nuwara Eliya. Great base to explore the town, Lovers Leap and so much more. Loved lazing the garden, looking up at the tallest mountain, enjoyed the high tea and cuisine. Can't wait to return to check out the bar and walking tour they say they are starting.

This is apparently an old Governor's residence, now a hotel. When we visited, it was certainly characterful, but in bad need of a complete update. The carpets were old and stained, the windows ill- fitting and draughty and the staff scruffy, albeit helpful. The food was poor. The towels were threadbare and the whole place felt slightly damp.

We had a lovely one night stay at Ferncliff, it was just lovely and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend as a very well run ‘b&b’ type hotel but much more luxurious. Bernard in particular was fantastic, especially his cooking — we had both dinner and breakfast there. Very glad we chose this over the ‘grand hotel’ in the end.

We had a wonderful two-night stay here. The building is beautiful and atmospheric, but inside the facilities are modern and stylish. Excellent home-made food, both western and Sri Lankan. Delicious generous breakfasts. All done with wonderfully attentive and smiley service. Great location - easy 10-15 min walk into town. Would 100% recommend!

If you desire excellent hospitality and a peaceful retreat, then look no more than ferncliff bungalow! This place evokes feelings of nostalgia and provides a ‘home away from home’ feeling. Over 160 years old, this bungalow is full of character and charm, whilst having contemporary fittings. Surrounded with a rich culture and heritage, Ferncliff’s ambiance will not disappoint! We were warmly greeted by Ferncliff staff upon arrival, the hospitality afforded to us was nothing short of excellent. Special shout-out to the brilliant Roshan, who went above and beyond to cater to our specific needs. He made us feel completely taken care of, his attention to detail and consumer oriented approach made this trip very enjoyable. The food cooked by Nawartne was mouthwatering, in particular, the Sri Lankan cuisine (and this is coming from a Sri Lankan). All the other staff, and Rukshan worked together to make this trip memorable for us. Overall, Ferncliff is a fantastic place to stay if you crave the classic Sri Lankan hospitality and cozy atmosphere!
