Ferncliff Bungalow

Well located with a beautiful garden and lovely, helpful, courteous staff

Ferncliff Bungalow is rather faded and tired. It is a lovely old property with some nice pieces of furniture but it needs redecorating and refreshing. It feels a bit shabby.

Really old history around the building and many original features. We even had a log fire one night as it’s cold in that part of Sri Lanka. Lovely grounds to walk around and have afternoon tea on the lawn

Bathroom a little dated, clean but old

Lovely garden, good food.

It was quite noisy in our room with noise from the town & surrounding buildings.

Excellent food and extremely attentive staff made our visit a pleasure.

The weather!

This is a fantastic place! If you are looking for an authentic experience in a genuine colonial property, then look no further, you really won't be disappointed. The 'bungalows' are not stand-alone, as you might expect, but are actually separate areas of the large property which allows you to enjoy all of the communal areas and to interact with other guests, or simply find a quiet place to relax and unwind. The property manager, Bernard, was so helpful and was always on hand to ensure that everything was just right, even down to offering hot water bottles to us on the chilly nights. Not that the rooms were cold - the heating worked very well - but it was typical of the high levels of service that you can expect here. The bed was very comfortable, the shower was modern, with lots of hot water, and the WiFi worked well for us. The breakfasts were very tasty and the two dinners that we had there were both excellent.

We loved it here.

The Ferncliff Bungalow is beautiful, and in the perfect location to explore Nuwara Eliya. The staff were lovely and the food (breakfasts and dinners) was excellent.

Fantastic hospitality in a wonderfully relaxed and historic villa. Our group, which ranged from 5 to 75, all had an amazing time at Ferncliff. Food was lovely, but it was the service and the atmosphere that was really spectacular. Special shout to Bernard for being such a wonderful host. And also a big mention for the hot water bottles!!

No real faults!
