Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Uva Province

What an amazing place, in a beautiful area of the island. From the moment we drew up to the gates of the Dutch House, we were greeted by the most gorgeous Dutch villa, and the all-pervasive smile of Kannan, who looked after us like members of the family during our stay. The house sits high on the hills outside of Bandarawela, up a short, but very steep road, which gives it a great vantage point over the surrounding lush hills and mountains. It’s a great climate so a gin and tonic on the veranda was a joy. We made use of the pool, and although not heated, you soon get used to it. The surrounding gardens are very well kept and have a plethora of birds and other wildlife. The food prepared by the on site chef was wonderful, as was the attentive service from Kannan. We also had the best sleep we've had during our trip. Even if you’re not in the immediate area, a drive here and a stay in this wonderful house, will surely be one of the highlights of any trip. It was for ours.

Wonderful villa. Lovely views and very good amenities. The hosts were very gracious and took care of all our requirements. The food was very well prepared. Great stay overall.

Absoutely loved the house, the location was perfect. 2 minute walk to Lake Gregory with great activities to do. Chandrakumar the housekeeper was super helpful and even had dinner prepared after our long journey on check in day. Would highly recommend.

Ein fantastischer Gastgeber, ich wurde umsorgt und bedient wie eine Königin. Sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit aber trotzdem zurückhaltend! Die Unterkunft lässt keine Wünsche offen, alles blitzsauber und es ist alles vorhanden. Mir wurde Tee und Kuchen und Snacks serviert und immer nachgefragt, ob ich etwas brauche oder ob ich Mittagessen oder Abendessen haben möchte. Alle Wünsche werden hier erfüllt, einen wunderbarer Ausflug in die Teeplantagen hat der Gastgeber für mich organisiert. An alles wurde gedacht, Picknick, Getränke und anschließend ein Mittagessen. Wenn ich einkaufen wollte, hat der Gastgeber mich begleitet und mir die besten Geschäfte gezeigt. Sogar als ich zum Arzt musste, hat er dafür gesorgt, dass alles reibungslos klappte. Und das alles zu einem sehr, sehr fairen Preis! Besser geht nicht, absolut empfehlenswert!!!!

Vi ankom med toget til byen, her blev vi hentet af Wilson (arbejdsmanden) og deres driver. Da vi kom til huset havde Mary (kokken) tilberedt fantastisk mad. Under hele opholdet følte vi os meget hjemme, her nød vi Marys mad og deres anbefalinger.

Our stay at Croft Cottage was nothing short of amazing! The location is ideal—private, peaceful, and offering breathtaking views, yet still providing easy access to many must-visit sites. We loved being able to walk to the nearby Kovil and enjoyed a scenic drive to Horton Plains, where we were lucky enough to spot leopards. A stop at Jagro for fresh strawberries made the journey even sweeter! The house itself is spotless, cozy, and well-equipped with modern amenities, making it perfect for families. Whether you’re looking for a quiet escape or a fun board game night with loved ones, this place has it all. The staff were outstanding—polite, attentive, and always ensuring our comfort. Additionally, the host was incredibly kind, responsive, and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommend Croft Cottage for anyone seeking a relaxing and memorable getaway in Little England. We can definitely see ourselves coming back to Croft Cottage again in the near future!

The place is located such a way that the nature's beauty is at your fingertip experiencing the cold breez from the hill area perfect for a short private get away with a loved one for a very special romantic getaway and the host was very pro active in suggesting the right timing for every bit of the trip as the transportation and meals needs to be well adjusted so you don't sleep empty stomach. The place is beautiful place for a couple looking for a romantic private getaway.
