Just a magical stay at the Heritance Tea Factory. You definitely come here to stay here for a bit as it's not near the main road, but it's so peaceful and bucolic. The sunrise over the tea fields was spectacular, but the highlight for the kids was tea picking and the dinner in the railcar. We stayed in the Flowerdew Suite, which was enormous, but the only slight gripe is that I booked for 2 adults and 2 kids and realistically there was only the one king bed and a sofa, and since the kids wants to sleep together, they decided to sleep on the floor. They actually had no complaints and said it was comfortable so we let it be.

I stayed two nights at the Heritance Tea Factory hotel. As soon as I arrived I was amazed by the scenery, it looks just exactly the same as the photo, surrounded by tea plantations with a great with of the mountains from afar. It is a bit of a drive from the town but it was nice to be in somewhere very peaceful and scenic. They have a lovely welcome ritual and tea. The hotel still has the engines from the factory days and they runs every night for 30 mins. It is full of stories in this hotel. Everyone is so kind, welcoming and helpful. I took the nature walk with Mohan and he is very knowledgeable and has the best photography skills! I also did the Pekoe trail with Mutu, the kindest man who showed me all about the flora and fauna, and taught me some local languages. We had the best laugh! Thank you team!

The room is comfortable but a bit dated. The bath tub needs to be replaced as it was stained and cracked. But the rest of the hotel was lovely with such a beautiful story behind. Food was great and the views and surroundings stunning. Interesting to see how the tea is made and that you use the same branch for black, green and silver tea. However, the car journey from Colombo was horrible with small, windy roads and it was easy to get car sick for 6 hrs drive - one way😱

A unique experience to stay in a historic tea factory immaculately and sympathetically converted into a luxury hotel. Lovely spa treatments but highlight was tea picking and seeing the historic boutique tea factory onsite. Beautiful secluded position in tea plantations and countryside

Historic building but personally felt some modernization could be done without compromising the aesthetic qualities for example automate closing of the elevator doors. Also the access path to the property should be widened and resurfaced for safety reasons. Beautiful gardens and friendly helpful staff are redeeming features

The property is amazing, and I was especially fascinated by the old elevator. Both the dinner buffet and breakfast were excellent. Be sure to try the "curd" — a yogurt-like dish made from buffalo milk. There are plenty of activity options (for an additional fee), and I especially enjoyed tea plucking while wearing a saree. The staff were all helpful. The room wasn’t too spacious but was clean and nicely decorated.

This was a beautiful hotel that captured its history. We had excellent service at the spa, enjoyed dining at the restaurant and it was lovely to walk the grounds. However, I note that while most service was excellent, the supervisors at the front desk treated us very oddly when charging things to the room and then bought the eftpos machine up to our room at 10.30pm (knowing full well we had an early morning start the next day to hike Horton Plains) to get us to pay our hotel bill before check out the next day. It put a damper on our entire stay.

Heritance tea factory thank you

If you enjoy fantastic landscapes, history and excellent service, this is the perfect place for you. Our welcome to this remarkable building was warm and very professional. The reception, restaurant and bar have been restored from a factory ,impeccably with style, class and sympathy. We were showed to the room via an orginal factory evelator. I loved the bedroom it was comfortable and cosy. Can I add it is very colonial, some would say dated, but I would disagree, and the hotels pictures of the room were accurate. We ate a very good buffet dinner accompied with impeccable service. I would like to add I am an engineer and for me it was a unique experience in a breathtaking landscape. But you will noitce there are no pictures of the bathrooms on the website. There is no getting around it, the bathroom needed a refurb and if you like modern day sharp hotels it may spoil your stay. But we thought overall it was amazing and we would not have missed the experience. Thank you to everyone at this unique hotel.

Must go place when visiting Sri Lanka

Beautiful property with amazing concept of preserving history. We were really impressed with the building and story. We loved the tea picking experience. Would like to suggest to the hotel to create an non profit to help the community near by and have the guests visit and help on the non profit, this way you will be able to attract more people.

Beautiful hotel. Quiet and tranquil location.

Wonderful hotel. Rich history and very well/tastefully kept. Staff are very warm and helpful. The grounds are beautiful; garden, mini tea factory and surrounding tea fields. Dinner and breakfast were delicious (rice and curry is a real feast). Really nice and comfortable room, great view too. While it makes for a scenic location, the only downside is access to hotel. Small, uneven road makes hard for car travel. We intended on going out into town in the evening for dinner but thick fog came in and as it got dark we didn’t think it would be very safe/practical to start driving off again. So we had dinner at the hotel which was also very nice.
