    We loved Hobbit Hideaway. But please be aware it’s very hard to get a car to the venue. So it’s best to arrange the Tuk Tuk to meet you at the top of the road. And there are lots of steps. Breakfast was excellent. Otherwise it’s an amazing room and view is AWESOME.

    Hobbit Hole Hideaway is an amazing place to stay in Ella. The view is absolutely stunning- you can see the bridge from the bed! I spent a long time relaxing on the terrace soaking in the view! The cabin is brand new and very well designed. The hosts are super kind and thoughtful and cannot do enough for you. I stayed two nights and enjoyed a beautiful Sri Lankan breakfast both days. A tuktuk can be arranged into town or just to the top entrance. I wish you the very best with your new property you’re doing a fantastic job!!! Thank you so much 😊 This property would not work if you have limited mobility or lots of luggage as there are quite a few steps down.

    Nothing significant at all. The owner allowed us to store our bags in her house on checkout day for a few hours. The breakfast was outstanding and she even brought our washing in when it rained whilst we were out tea picking!

    Love this place. Not inexpensive, but you really do get what you pay for. Its private, the view is amazing and having been into Ella....i wouldn't have enjoyed anywhere else as its a party town and we value our peace and quiet. Handy to walk up to Little Adam's peak and friendly little corner shop at end of the road.

    It is a bit difficult to reach the accommodation if you travel by car. But the owner arranges tuktuk rides to the center of Ella.

    What an amazing view! The accommodation was modern looking and had everything you need. We ordered the breakfast and it was very good!

    Our stay at the Hobbit Hole Hideaway was simply perfect. The property is off main roads, but our hosts kindly arranged a tuktuk to pick us up. Photos are exactly representative of the beautiful, newly built property. Not only is every detail perfectly finished, but Sashi and her family were attentive, kind and proud of their work. Breakfast was fantastic and we wished our stay was longer!

    There was nothing that I did not like. However be aware that you have to get down some stairs to get to the place. If you’re really old or can’t walk well this may not be an ideal place to stay.

    This is a new accomodation and i was incredibly amazed by it. It’s literally a hobbit home with a fantastic fairytale view on the bridge. Shower was hot and bed was really nice. It’s super modern on the inside and the little garden is really cute and spacious. You could hang out there and watch the trains pass by for hours. I actually can not think of anything that could be better. It was amazing. And for that price it’s such a gem!

    Absolutely nothing to complaint about.

    Our stay at the Hobbit Hole Hideout in Ella was absolutely fantastic! The room was stunning—everything looked brand new, and the high-quality furnishings gave it a luxurious feel. The layout was well thought out, making great use of the space. The bathroom was spacious, and the shower had excellent water pressure and temperature control. The entire apartment is designed exactly as you would imagine a true hobbit hideout—cozy, charming, and full of character. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and to our delight, there was even a proper duvet, which made our stay even cozier. One of the highlights was the terrace, which offered a breathtaking view of Ella’s top attraction, the Nine Arches Bridge—a perfect spot for stunning photos! The service was outstanding. On request, we were promptly taken to and from town by TukTuk, which only took about 10 minutes each way. Breakfast was another highlight—it was brought directly to our terrace, with a variety of delicious options to choose from. Everything in the apartment was spotlessly clean, fully functional, and exceeded our expectations in terms of quality and comfort. This was by far one of the best stays we’ve ever had, and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting Ella!

    I didn’t realise we needed to pay by cash.

    The Hobbit Hole was my favourite accomodation in my trip, with hotels on a similar budget. I could sit on the porch and look at the nine arch bridge all day. There is also a short cut to the bridge so you can get there before the crowd if you wake up early enough. It is newly constructed and the attention to detail in the cottage is evident. It is super clean, the owners were lovely. It is away from Ella which I appreciated and the owners gave me a free lift to Ella or the local junction. Highly recommend for couples. Remember to bring cash for payment, and it is a short walk to the cottage but the view is worth it.
