Amesbury Cottage
About
Amesbury Cottage, on Sri Lanka, stands at 24 New Bazaar Rd, Nuwara Eliya 22200, Sri Lanka, in the hill country town known for its cool upland air. First-time visitors should expect a guest house setting in a highland town rather than a coastal resort, with the climate noticeably cooler than the beaches. The property's website, https://yarahotels.lk/, provides a direct reference point.
Guests rate Amesbury Cottage at 4.5 out of 5 across 311 reviews, a strong and well-supported average that reflects broad satisfaction among a large number of stays. Nuwara Eliya is reachable from Kandy by road and sits within the hill route that many travellers take through the interior, while Colombo, Negombo and Galle lie further away on the lowland coasts. Travellers coming from Bentota, Mirissa, Unawatuna or Arugam Bay would cross much of the island to arrive here.
Nuwara Eliya occupies an elevated position in Sri Lanka's central highlands, and the town's commercial centre places the guest house within easy walking distance of its shops and market. The hill setting makes it a natural stop for those moving between Kandy and the southern highlands.
Sri Lankan meals centre on rice and curry, with hoppers, string hoppers and kottu roti eaten day to day, and the hill country's cooler evenings suit these warmer dishes. Two monsoon systems bring rain to different coasts at different times, so the southwest and west coasts are driest from December to March while the east coast is best from May to September.
