Mirage Kings Cottage

Beautiful location overviewing Lake Gregory. The rooms were clean, comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed, from ironing board to a spare woolen blanket. The food they served in their restaurant was delicious, though somewhat repetitive. Staff are courteous and helpful. A special mention goes to Dilrukshi at the front desk who dedicated her time and effort to ensure our stay was comfortable and memorial. We truly appreciated it. We thoroughly enjoyed our two-night stay in the hotel. We intend to come back in near future.

The rooms are tired and worn needs total refurbishment. It was also noisy with a group of people partying outside.The evening buffet was cold and variety poor. The ironing board had holes in it and bottom of iron really dirty. The one star was for the staff who were very nice.

The location was a bit tricky to access as google maps took us down a winding 1 lane road. Stayed here 2 nights. Beautiful scenic garden and driveway. Has a separate entertainment room, away from the main building with a lounge and pool room. There are no lifts but the staff bring your luggages to the room. Our room was big and spacious had a small balcony but couldn’t sit out as there were spiders hanging off the ceiling. Clean otherwise but pillows definitely need to be replaced. And the sink had a leak. The iron provided in the room didn’t work but staff replaced it when addressed. We ordered some food for a late lunch the day we arrived as we drove straight from Kandy. We were all famished. The food took more than an hour and a half to arrive and was very disappointing. Sandwiches were dry and the soup more like a curry consistency. And the butter chicken was too sour. Day two we had power outage just in our building twice and it took almost an hour to restore. There was no back up generator or candles or even a form of communication to let us know what was happening. Kind of a let down for a first time visit to Nuwara Eliya. I will not be recommending this cottage but if they can get their staff trained a bit more in communication and crisis handling there is much potential for this establishment.

We had 2 nights at this beautiful old empire style accommodation in the tea country of Nuwara Eleya. Polished teak floors and stuffed armchairs give this place a very appealing old world charm. The room was comfortable with a little balcony overlooking the lake. Food was excellent and the staff friendly and organised. From here we visited the town, enjing visits to the old post office and a walk round Victoria Park. In the evening we walked around the back of the hotel and up into the tea plantation. Very serene and with great views of the valley and lake. Definitely to be recommended as a base for the area.
