A period estate that dates back almost 100 years, Taylors Hill was owned by a British planter the traces of which are still pretty relevant in this unique architectural marvel. A sense of nostalgia, utmost luxurious, and definite comfort are some of the key takeaways from the estate. Found in the Sri Lankan countryside near the city of Kandy, the estate is an idyllic location for travellers looking for a respite and some quiet time away. It is suitable for large parties as there are five bedrooms, acres of lush gardens, and plenty amenities. An infinity swimming pool overlooking the splendid sunset will be the cherry on top.
Five bedrooms namely Pattiyagama, Loolecondera, Taylor, Le Cocq and Lipton promise absolute comfort, luxury, and a soothing ambiance. Designed with additional care ensuring each room is unique with its personal aesthetic, the bedrooms feature walls that are painted with dandelions, bed posts shaped as trees, gold-finish four-poster beds with drapes, quality bedding, a rich colour palette. Pattiyagama stands out from the rest with its personal sitting area and open fireplace for a cosy ambiance.
Each of these five bedrooms has an en-suite bathroom with lavish bathtubs that come with elegant fittings, dual basins, ornate interiors, and large windows overlooking the stunning cliff-side view.

Sprawling gardens sit all around the estate with abundant flora that thrives in the tropical weather. The clouds hover out front for a picturesque vista that you can enjoy while relaxing in the free-size infinity swimming pool. The pool deck is furnished with sun chairs for sunbathing and resting in-between dips. The hills are visible from the estate which will make you feel like you’re in another world altogether. Guests can truly relish their time here as activities include tennis, badminton, and croquet.
Taking you back in time is the living area at Taylor Hill with a classic chandelier, a stone fireplace with wooden logs, plush sofas, and chaise, and large windows. The hardwood flooring shines under the bright lights for a more opulent and luxe vibe. A few drinks in the evenings when the sun sets with loved ones is the best way to enjoy the serenity and calm that engulfs this region. There are antique and timeless pieces decorating the corners of the living area to bring it back to life. The walls are papered in a truly vintage manner and yet hints of Sri Lanka peek through.
The cosy living area is not the only comfortable space at the estate, you also have the media room with uber comfortable seating, a massive flat-screen, walls adorned with framed movie posters, and you also have the games room with a billiards table. Enjoy deliciously-cooked meals in the opulent dining area that speaks volumes of the estate’s past. Enough seating for all makes it even more enjoyable for guests.
There are so many things you can do at the estate itself including the games and media room, outdoor activities, etc. The staff will serve you with utmost humility and hospitality to make you feel at home so much so you wouldn’t want to leave. From a three-course breakfast, high tea, to a mouth-watering dinner, you can request for each and every meal to be served (cost extra).
Day-trips around the estate to nearby nature trails, national parks, and the city of Kandy can be arranged quite easily so you can enjoy your time here. There is wildlife waiting to be explored and you can even visit an elephant nursery for a closer look. Tea plantations and factories are another sight you don’t want to miss out on.
