Hill Rise Luxury Villa & Stables by Edwards Collection - Nuwara Eliya

I enjoyed my stay at the Hills Rise Edwards Hotel. The place has a charming view of Lake Gregory. It is a villa that dates back to more than 100 years and was employed to be a rustic boutique hotel that can be called the horse house, as all its decor and pieces of art reflect the extent of the owner's passion for horse racing, I really want to thank the housekeeper Mr. Kasuntha deshan, for the kind welcoming and the chef Mr. Rons for preparing a special gluten-free food for me.

The hotel needs major maintenance at the level of rooms, furniture, painting, mattresses and bathroom flooring in order to maintain its historical value.

Our three night stay at Hill Rise was relaxing and lovely. We were the only guests at the property and were made to feel like we were at home from home. This meant we had the use of the lounge area and out side sitting area all to ourselves! Kaguntha & Bala were there at any opportunity to help us with enquirers provide guidance and a most delightful evening meal which consisted of 6 Sri Lanka Curries served in the dinning room. Breakfasts were taken outside overlooking Gregory Lake. Bala provided a Tuk Tuk Service for when we wished to go into town. Our room was extremely spacious – I believe we were in the largest room available. When we arrived it was to a cool damp evening and were immediately offered if we would like the fire lit. We declined as we were going out to dinner but I do wish that we had taken up the offer just for the atmosphere. Thank you Kaguntha & Bala for making our stay so enjoyable

The staff was extremely helpful.

Rooms would require some renovation.
