Built in 1912 by Hannah Hoodwright, Selwood is one of the few heritage homes in the region historically owned by women. Lovingly crafted to resemble a classic English country cottage, it features a green roof, latticed windows, timbered beams, and warm wooden floors — all surrounded by a wild English-style garden that bursts into life between April and May. Tucked amidst misty hills and enveloped by clouds, the cottage offers a serene escape in Nuwara Eliya, often referred to as the "Little England." Guests can expect cool mountain air, breathtaking views, and a deep sense of calm in this hidden sanctuary. Though secluded, the location provides easy access to Nuwara Eliya town, the golf course, and scenic nature trails. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, nature lover, or simply seeking a peaceful getaway, Selwood Cottage offers an unforgettable blend of colonial charm and natural beauty. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 4 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Comfort - Heating ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Grand Double Room](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/20000000/19020000/19013100/19013074/189ef258.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cottage San Francesco Nuwara Eliya - Parking included - Free WiFi - Restaurant - Breakfast available 9.6 Exceptional 5 reviews CA $79 CA $106 total includes taxes & fees Oct 7 - Oct 8 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-07&endDate=2025-10-08&selected=19013074&PinnedHotelID=19013074&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/98000000/97090000/97087700/97087668/f84b3c29.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Rosedale Grand Nuwara Eliya - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor space CA $349 CA $395 total includes taxes & fees Oct 6 - Oct 7 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-06&endDate=2025-10-07&selected=97087668&PinnedHotelID=97087668&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Lake](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/21000000/20160000/20158400/20158311/4ed6f68b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Emirates Luxury Apartments Nuwara Eliya - Parking included - Free WiFi - Restaurant - Room service 6.8 5 reviews CA $126 CA $148 total includes taxes & fees Oct 7 - Oct 8 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-07&endDate=2025-10-08&selected=20158311&PinnedHotelID=20158311&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Flat-screen TV, DVD player](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18590000/18587600/18587591/d772f7a7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Dorchester Nuwara Eliya - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Parking included CA $278 CA $335 total includes taxes & fees Oct 6 - Oct 7 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-06&endDate=2025-10-07&selected=18587591&PinnedHotelID=18587591&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Courtyard](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/16000000/15190000/15186500/15186491/abb8ac2b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lemas Holiday Bungalow Nuwara Eliya - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Parking included 7.2 Good 5 reviews CA $202 CA $265 total includes taxes & fees Oct 6 - Oct 7 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-06&endDate=2025-10-07&selected=15186491&PinnedHotelID=15186491&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Check-out instructions The host requires you complete the following before checking out: Turn off the lights and return the keys Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host. ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ## Important information ### You need to know Extra-person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy Government-issued photo identification and a credit card, debit card, or cash deposit may be required at check-in for incidental charges Special requests are subject to availability upon check-in and may incur additional charges; special requests cannot be guaranteed Host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property Host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property This property is managed through our partner, Vrbo.
