I had a lovely stay at The Blackpool Resort & Spa. nestled among beautiful tea plantations, the hotel's ambiance was light and airy due to its floor-to-ceiling windows. The only downside was the distance from the center of Nuwara Eliya, about ten minutes drive, but the serene location made it worth it.
