The hosts were so friendly and welcoming. They made us feel right at home from the start of our stay. The hostess made the most delicious dinner. The room was beautiful and clean. The view was absolutely spectacular, looking right over the 9 arches bridge. We had such a great time staying there and would recommend to anyone traveling in Ella.

We can highly recommend Fern Hill Cabins. Chathura and his family are warm and welcoming hosts who are always happy to help with any questions or requests – whether it’s organizing a TukTuk, arranging transportation to your next destination, or anything else you might need. Our cabin was new, modern, and spread over two floors – spotlessly clean, and with a breathtaking view over Ella. A nice bonus: we were able to enjoy a cozy movie night with the projector in the cabin. On request, Chathura can arrange a delicious dinner from a nearby restaurant, served right on the terrace in front of the cabin. Breakfast was fresh, varied, and lovingly prepared. Another big plus: the hike to Ella Rock starts right from the cabin. All in all, a wonderful stay!

This is a hidden gem! You may not think so when you first stand outside the building, but trust the reviews! Nadi is an exceptional host. So caring, kind and generous. The room is excellent. The bed is huge and really comfortable and the room has beautiful views into the valley. You will be spoiled with an incredibly delicious home cooked breakfast (a different one every day!). The location is also superb. A 6 minute scooter drive up the hill into town. Our stay has been exceptional, would highly recommend :)

This place is amazing! The cabin is new and clean. It had a great view (and privacy). Beds are good. The owner and staff are so nice, they do you everything to make you feel comfortable. They offer a free shuttle service to the village (even though it’s only a 10 minute walk). I really liked the breakfast as well!

Sri Lankan Breakfast. Brilliant location. 5 minute walk into main town and train station along the train tracks. Very clean, spacious room. Beautiful view of Ella rock and the valley below. Friendly owners, one is a guide for Ella rock and considerably cheaper than online prices.
