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 ![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 - Washing machine - Dryer - Outdoor space £219 includes taxes & fees 12 Jan - 13 Jan [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-12&endDate=2026-01-13&selected=97087668&PinnedHotelID=97087668&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/119000000/118730000/118721500/118721499/3e1b0309.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Celadon - A 3-bedroom Luxury villa in delightful Nuwara Eliya with all amenities Nuwara Eliya - Washing machine - Dryer - Parking available - Barbecue grill £233 includes taxes & fees 17 Jan - 18 Jan [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-17&endDate=2026-01-18&selected=118721499&PinnedHotelID=118721499&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101440000/101435200/101435128/6eb04d9d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### "Tranquil 2-BR villa in Ella,Sri Lanka, 4 acres, breathtaking vistas."
