hotels in nuwara eliya - When you have a holiday in Sri Lanka, then a vacation to Nuwara Eliya that is where the British accustomed to retreat to, for coolness during the summer time heat century ago is important,, to keep at The Hill Club, because I guarantee you will not find another place want it anywhere in the world.

Nuwara Eliya has ended 5000 feet above sea level and visiting there is like heading back in time, in fact just getting it comes with an adventure alone.

We hired a car, plus driver from my beach side hotel, and booked an evening in Kandy, and a night in Nuwara Eliya, to see my uncle's old stomping grounds when he was obviously a tea planter as to what was then Ceylon.

hotels in nuwara eliya - I am not likely to write about the drive, that has been quite amazing, but rather concerning the hotels we stayed in.

In Kandy we stayed inside the Queen's Hotel, situated over a very English corner, looking like an English town hotel.

Inside, the hall and reception desk were wood panelled, by having an old fashioned sliding grill lift, you might have held it's place in Edwardian England. Our room looked as if the final visitor was Queen Victoria, and my wife was very concerned abot bed bugs. Having said that even though room was dowdy, it was clean, nevertheless the ceiling fan sounded like a spitfire going down the runway!

The hotel stood a garden with a swimming pool, mostly frequented by 'gap year' public school like students, who could easily get an affordable shower, and good food at great prices.

Dinner was served in a almost deserted restaurant, by way of a black tie waiter, and that we resolved my curry cost you a little over 1 stg!!

In fact the meal was superb, drinks cheap, and our total bill for just two rooms, plus dinner, drinks, and drinks across the pool, came to a massive 75!!

The direction to Nuwara Eliya wasn't long in miles, nevertheless it took hours, due to the steep climb, and also the narrowness from the road, as well as the variety of vehicles and buses we encountered.

The views of the tea plantations as well as the hills were amazing, along with a trip round a tea plantation factory really worth while

Shortly before arriving in Nuwara Eliya we were amazed to determine road side shacks selling such vegetables as leeks, carrots, cauliflowers, all memories of once the traffic was mainly English residents.

We went along to Nuwara Eliya for just two reasons, normally the one that ended up being to stop at The Hill Club, still an exclusive club, but also an hotel, while you were required to join like a temporary member to use it.!!

Seeing it the first time it appeared to be a Lake District Hotel within the 1930's and inside just confirmed that.

Dinner would be a jacket and tie affair[supplied should you have had left yours behind!!], with a classic English menu with fish course included, all using white gloved waiters.

Our room was unsurprisingly traditional, with warm water bottles inside our beds.

Being a hill town Nuwara Eliya from the distance looks totally English, such as the 'Gardens' with bandstand, it was to get a short moment somewhat strange seeing no white faces.

The club is totally home counties 1930's, as well as the course immaculate. If the sudden insufficient English names around the honours board after 1973 was dramatic, it brought home no more Empire.

hotels in nuwara eliya - I used to be able to see the my uncle around the immaculately kept honours board, plus what university friend, plus well looked after old photographs.

Nuwara Eliya is a 'must do' for a vacation in Sri Lanka.
