Info : Tea Trails

Tea Trails is a new concept which combines boutique luxury with the plantation bungalow experience. Set amidst a working tea estate at an altitude of 5000ft, the four luxuriously appointed Tea Trails bungalows are situated at different points around the beautiful Castlereagh reservoir in the Bogowantalawa region of the hill country.

A total of twenty rooms in four separate locations, each unique in decor and design, provide lavish comfort on an all-inclusive basis. Each bungalow is different, and you can choose to stay at one bungalow or mix your time amongst a couple of the properties. Tiensin has six suites, wood panelled rooms and large fireplaces is in high British colonial style and eclectic Castlereagh has five suite rooms on a lakeside setting, croquet lawn & pool. Norwoods five suites are reminiscent of a 60s tropical bungalow while Summerville has four suites and offers contemporary elegance and stunning views of the lake.

You set you own pace here; whether you wish to while away the hours reading in the grounds, lazing by the pool, pampering yourself in the tea spa or trying one of the many activities on offer. Tea Trails have teamed-up with a local adventure operator to offer some of the most varied activities in the region. Excursions from guided walks and mountain bike rides to kayaking and rafting are all available on request. This is also a great base from which to climb the sacred slopes of Adams Peak. Nuwara Eliya (and a golf course) is nearby, as is Horton Plains National Park. The walking opportunities here are superb and all four bungalows are linked by a trail.

Food and drink is included in the price and the standard very high. Although there is a menu, meals can be tailored to suit guests tastes. The wine is new world and excellent quality. If you are out all day a wonderful picnic hamper is packed and sent with you, so you can enjoy your lunch wherever you are.

You can also enjoy the Tea Experience where you follow the production process from plucking your own tea leaves right through to brewing them for you very own cuppa.

However, while the theme is tea, the emphasis is very definitely on luxury. Tea Trails is a hotel by which standards many others are judged, with a proven record of delivering spectacular experiences time and time again.

Luxury - There are very few hotels in our 'luxury' category. Hotels in this category must have absolutely everything anyone could want and really be aiming for the stars. These hotels generally go well above and beyond and they would always be at the very top end of the market. These are for clients looking for that extra special place.

Tea trails is an absolute gem. Service was fantastic and the views from the summerville bungalow where we stayed was in my opinion by far the best of all the cottages. We had a really relaxing break there and I gained a few pounds with the wonderful food on tap. No doubt you always get the same reviews from this place as its so well managed and it is really first class.

wow this place is stunning and probably the highlight of the holiday. We stayed at Norwood Bungalow - altitude 4300ft so the weather was cooler. There is plenty of space to relax in luxurious drawing rooms and you have added luxury of all inclusive gin & tonics. There was a free tour of the nearby tea factory which I would definitely recommend.
