The view from the balcony and bed were absolutely stunning! Idyll Cottage was such a peaceful place to spend a few days, and I feel lucky to have gotten to experience it.

The location is not far from the downtown area but far enough to have a relaxing stay. You can easily walk to small Adams Peak and the 9 arch bridge from there. The host was a wonderful gentleman who made sure my stay was an excellent one and provided me with useful information during my stay. He even arranged my transfer to Trincomalee which I appreciated. The room itself was very comfortable with a fan that kept the room at a nice temperature as the nights are cool.Nice bed and good hot water pressure.

The view outside the room is absolutely beautiful. U can see the sunrise in the morning. The room is better than some of the four-star hotels. The hist was extremely friendly and even offer us a drive to the train station for free when we leave.

The place is in a rather unique location, not easily accessed, but grants a great view. The room has a comfortable terrace with a kitchenette, which could be great for long stays - ask the host about the gas stove though. A lot of nature around. Great breakfast, efficient communication on WhatsApp.

The family room was great! Two stories, both balconies (up and down) have a lovely veiw. Excellent bed with the best soft linen, good shower, everything so comfortable. Great breakfast served to the balcony with a choice of western or Sri Lankan. The manager was so nice and did everything he could to help. Nice and quiet, but close to the center. We recommend it!

This was truly the best hotel we stayed at during our trip to Sri Lanka. The peaceful atmosphere, exceptional cleanliness, and stunning natural surroundings made our experience unforgettable. The food was delicious, especially the breakfast, which was simply top-notch. What stood out the most, however, was the kindness and hospitality of the owners. They made us feel so welcome and cared for, going above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. A wonderful experience overall. Thank you so much! We will definitely return and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a tranquil getaway in Sri Lanka.

The view is absolutely spectacular! Breakfast is served on your private balcony and is absolutely delicious. We really enjoyed the egg hoppers. The owner Ishaq is so kind and brought us to Little Adam’s Peak for our sunrise hike. He went out of his way to help us and showed us a shortcut for getting into town quicker.

The owner was very helpful and communicative before we got to the property. He picked us up from the train station late at night, and arranged transportation for us after eating dinner back to the property. The location is a little bit outside of the main town area which was good for us, nice and quiet at night. Every morning we got a huge breakfast made by the owner which was customizable depending on your own taste. He can help book drivers to different spots around the area. Good value for the money.

    This is a cute hostel near the center of Ella. The location is strategic for those who will visit the Nine-Arch bridge and little Adam's peak. It is also a short drive to Ella railway station. There are shops around the cottage which are very helpful for immediate purchase and emergencies. The host is very kind. The room is spacious with seating area, dresser and toilet. There is also a cabinet for your clothes. There is a dining area just outside the room which is very comfy and relaxing. We had a lovely and filling breakfast.
