I recently stayed at Fern Hill Cabins in Ella, and it was truly one of the most memorable experiences of my travels in Sri Lanka. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the stunning panoramic view, absolutely perfect for nature lovers and those looking to unwind in peace. One of the standout features is the glass-walled area with a cozy sofa bed inside the cabin. It offers an uninterrupted view of Ella’s iconic train route, and you can even spot the famous Nine Arches Bridge right from the comfort of your room! Watching the train pass through the lush greenery was an unforgettable moment. The breakfast was delicious, freshly prepared, and served with care. Waking up to that view and enjoying a hearty meal made every morning feel special. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. If you're looking for a serene, scenic getaway with a touch of magic, I highly recommend Fern Hill Cabins. I can't wait to return!

We LOVED everything! The view of the bridge and the jungle were absolutely stunning! It was a short walk down to the bridge if you wanted to get on the tracks which was great. The room itself was absolutely perfect. All of the amenities we could have asked for and you could tell it was very new. It was also a short tuk tuk ride into town when we wanted to do some shopping, and our host was so generous to give us a ride when we needed. The family that hosted couldn’t have been any sweeter, and we were so grateful for the time we got to spend there and the opportunity to have met them!!

The accommodation and staff were exceptional. We loved the cooking class and the food was amazing. The staff also helped us immensely when we needed to take our son for medical attention. The only thing that was a bit misleading was they told us that they provide a tuk tuk for the local area. We assumed it was included… we assumed wrong and were charged a lot in addition. This was certainly not a deal breaker though - we loved it here. 11/10

They provided the best breakfast we had on our entire trip with wonderful pancakes, fresh fruit, and local cuisine. The staff offered us TukTuk transportation around Ella at very reasonable prices and were always available and helpful. The internet was a bit spotty at times, but I guess that is normal for being way out in mountainous nature, and it is a good trade off for the excellent view and being within walking distance of Ella Rock..

Amazing place, breathtaking views! We realized the moment that we checked in that we SHOULD have booked for two nights (or more) not one. I would have loved to have attended the cooking and yoga classes and simply enjoyed the majestic location.

The Spice Lodge is a special place located within walking distance to Ella center. The family that runs the lodge are the kindest, most helpful people. The breakfast was delicious, and the dinner we had was the best curry we had on our trip. Highly recommended lodging.
