- Area description
- Nuwaraeliya also known as "Little England" situated 1890 meters above sea leavel, was the holiday resort of the English planters during the colonial era, and it still retains traces of British Colonialism.Blessed with salubrious climate, breathtaking valleys and meadows, mountains and greenery that's soothing on the eye, it belies the fact that Nuwaraeliya is hardly 180 kms from the hot and humid Colombo, the capital of Sri lanka. A unique feature of the topography of Sri Lanka.Set in the natural surroundings just 1.5 km from Nuwaraeliya town, it over looks the hushed stillness of the Galway Forest reserve. At the hotel you will find every thing you need to get away from civilization with out leavening any of its comforts behind.Over looking the verdant of the Galway nature reserve Galway Forest lodge id a cozy hide away the combines the best civilization with gift of nature.

Lovely base to explore Nuwara Eliya
We had a problem at check in as they didn't have a record of the booking OR confirmation that we had paid in advance, the reception staff were not very helpful in contacting E bookers for confirmation I had to insist! They put us up in a ground floor room that was damp and some movement on the floor (not sure if it was a mouse or cockroach) and no view of anything but a brick wall, for our second night they moved us up stairs with a reasonable view, it was a cold room but didn't smell. The sickner for us was at checkout we paid our bill it seemed about right so I didn't check, however an hour later we received a phone call to say the second nights dinner hadn't been paid and they were deducting the waiters salary and we needed to refund him! needless to say we didn't want him to lose out so we had to make a detour in columbo to a bank and I was quite disgusted that they would do that to the staff who I have to say were all lovely, as most Sri Lankans are really lovely people!
