Room introduction The tea garden visit in the package is a complete routine of promotion. The promotion activity of visiting this old tea factory lasted more than an hour, and more than four hours were wasted! There are good and bad differences in the five small houses in this group. Be careful. In addition, call the hotel one day in advance. Please confirm with Ctrip whether this phone can be dialed! The hotel waiter has a very good attitude!

British-style villa, the bathroom is so beautiful! Enjoy the beautiful scenery alone, the swimming pool view is very good, and the hot water bath is very comfortable! The butler-style service is very commendable. We discuss food with guests every day and arrange where to go as much as possible. Every aspect is satisfying!

It’s such a perfect hotel. I have to go back and stay for a few more days to express my love for this hotel. It creates a hideaway between Tea Mountain and Bihu Lake. The food is worthy of being a classic product of Relais & Châteaux.

We had an amazing stay in the Norwood Bungalow. The staff, food, setting, service, everything was some of the best we have experienced.

I think Dunkeld Bungalow at Ceylon Tea Trails is the closest place to heaven. What a stunning location and a magical experience. From the infinity pool overlooking Castlereigh Lake to the perfectly manicured gardens, it is a peaceful place that is so good for the soul. Comfortable, exquisitely decorated and personal- the bungalow really feels like home. Special thanks to Samantha and Chef Ravi for looking after us so well. Chef - thank you for me magnificent Sri Lankan feast for lunch. Make sure you do the Dunkeld Tea Factory tour - Bernard is so knowledgeable and it is fascinating. A very special experience

Amazing place with excelent services. Next time I definately plan to visit every single of these bungalowes and hike from one bungalow to another through these beuatiful tea plantages. Be sure to take a good camera with you because the sourounding landscape is pictoresque.

It was our third stay at the Ceylon Tea Trails. This time Tientsin bungalow for five nights. The bungalow has a most beautiful flower garden. It is an “All inclusive" concept at the highest level. We were particularly impressed by the great people who spoiled us every day. Ajith and his team (Chandra, Priya, Chamara, Prakash) were magical – first-class service at its best. The daily chats with the Chef were so caring, the food was presented tailor-made, so tastefully and lovingly. Our suite (Bretherton) has a private garden, surrounded by birds and green scenery with the tea hills blew us away. If you seek serenity and the perfect place to unwind in the most beautiful scenery: this is most definitely the place for you. We will be back! Thank you for this warm hospitality. AMAZING!!
