Cozy Cottage Ella 2 stars

Ella

Situated in Ella, 7.5 km from Demodara Nine Arch Bridge, Cozy Cottage Ella features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant. Featuring a bar, the property is located within 46 km of Hakgala Botanical Garden. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. Perfect location close to Ella and its amenities but also a welcome escape from the noise and activity that the town has. From our warm greeting upon arrival to the time we left, the staff were amazing and cannot do enough for you. VIraj has an excellent knowledge of all things Ella, the surrounding areas, and his whole country. He is happy to provide ideas of locations to visit, without pushing you to participate into organsied activites you may not want. Our room was large, the most spacious we have enjoyed in our three weeks in Sri Lanka. Included were a large and comfortable bed, a spacious bathroom (with a full bath), extra chairs to sit on and tea, coffee and water facilities. Water pressure in the bathroom was excellent and there was plenty of hot water. Excellent airconditioning. The room had a fantastic large balcony overlooking the town and is a welcome retreat during the day or when you return from a day out and want to relax. A beautiful view of the lights of Ella and surrounding hillsides at night. On top of the building is a rooftop deck, with some chairs and a table, great for a sunrise view or sunset drink, enough space for your daily yoga. While wi-fi in the room was not particulaly strong, it was very good in the dining area. Breakfast was plentiful and they did well to accommodate our specific dietary needs. However, the dinner was extra delicious, so much so, we participated in the cooking classes they offer in their small kitchen onsite. You can tailor your classes to the specific dishes you want to cook. Under head cook Buddika, his second cook Ruwan and the guidance of Lahiru, we not only had heaps of fun, but learnt many techniques for sucessful Sri Lankan cooking and how to use spices and herbs to create delicious local flavours. An additional bonus, they also only use locall products in their cooking. And the meal to finish was so good! We left reluctantly and miss the whole team at Cozy Cottage Ella. Definitely recommend it here!

Saffron Eco Cottage

Ella

Offering a garden and mountain view, Saffron Eco Cottage is situated in Ella, 6.4 km from Demodara Nine Arch Bridge and 46 km from Hakgala Botanical Garden. This property offers access to a balcony and free private parking. The accommodation features free WiFi throughout the property, as well as a terrace and a family-friendly restaurant. Sapu and his wife were very kind and their accommodation offers comfortable facilities with gorgeous views of valleys and hills of Ella. We adored relaxing on the balcony, while admiring the birds, jungle fowls, giant squirrels, and a very particular species of deer. The tuk tuks arranged by Sapu to the cottage were convenient and recommended. For all other short or long trips use Uber or Pick Me apps (significantly cheaper with peace of mind). Reason: Tuk tuk drivers charged us 2500 (LKR) one way to see the Nine Arch Bridge, which didn’t make sense since they charged us 700 one way every other time. We didn’t bother to discuss these costs, but strange things can happen, so be sure to use very good communication and be diligent. The small road to the cottage can only be accessed by tuk tuk or by walk. Plan carefully, use Uber or Pick Me apps, and communicate well with your driver about this. The host may not support this idea only because he’s trying to support the business of his drivers and friends. We highly recommend dinner at the Clay Pot, Matey, and the White Rabbit.

The room was spacious and clean, with a shower and balcony that allowed me to fully take in the beautiful scenery. The real highlight of my stay was the warm welcome I received from the wonderful host. From the moment I arrived, she greeted me with a smile and a delicious cup of tea. She went out of her way to ensure I had a comfortable stay, and even prepared a mouth-watering Sri Lankan breakfast that I highly recommend trying. Overall, my experience at this homestay exceeded my expectations, and I believe it's worth more than what I paid for. I highly recommend this homestay to anyone looking for a cozy and comfortable stay in Ella. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality!"
