The house is lovely with a breathtaking view. The staff is so warm and welcoming, and made us feel at home right from the start. The breakfast was very very good and plentiful and it’s served in the garden at whatever time you need arranged. The place is very quiet at night and the bed is very comfortable, so a good night’s sleep is granted. The position is strategic because you can easily get to the 9 arches bridge and also to the trail leading to little Adam’s peak, but for everything else, a tuktuk can be arranged at any time.

i don’t think there is another hotel that can give you the same view than this one. The room was right up the nine arches bridge, which you can reach in just 15 minutes from he structure. The room was clean and everything is new ( they built it 6 months ago). We suggest you to have breakfast there, since you’ll experience a real Sri Lankan breakfast with an amazing view. The host and her husband were very helpful and kind, they’ve helped us a lot considering that the street to reach the structure is not accessible by car so they picked us up ( and our heavy luggages) with their tuk tuk

We absolutely loved this place; it's like something out of a fairy tale. The room is brand new and spotless, with tea, coffee, and a small fridge. The hosts will provide all the necessary utensils if you want to eat in your room. Only breakfast is served here, but they can get you to Ella center in 10 minutes, where you'll find supermarkets and many restaurants. ​The view of the bridge is stunning – much better than from right next to the bridge itself, which you can easily walk to in 10-13 minutes from here. ​The hosts are incredibly kind people and helped us with everything. We're so glad we chose this place.

It's not the easiest place to reach, with some stairs. We didn't mind, but it is good to keep in mind.

This place is truly amazing. The view is beautiful and you have the whole place to yourself. Extremely relaxing, especially ever visiting the somewhat chaotic center of Ella. The owners are lovely. I highly recommend staying at the Hobbit Hole Hideaway when visiting Ella. Best place to watch the Nine Arch Bridge from.

Cash only payment-make sure you are prepared (we weren't!).

Gorgeous little retreat in the hills above Ella. Beautifully built and with everything you need (except perhaps air con!). Amazing view across 9 arch bridge, which is directly below. Lovely breakfast. Very kind hosts always happy to drop/collect from Ella (about a 10min tuk tuk ride).

It was really incredible cottage, the best of all we were in Sri Lanka.It is nicer than on photos. Many nice details there. And that view - breathtaking. If we come back to Ella we will definitely come here and spend there more days. Owner and his wife are kind and friendly.

Loved our stay!!! The hosts are such beautiful people. Ensured our stay was comfortable and cooked delicious meals. They also organised activities around Ella for us to go to. Drove us around in their tuktuk. The room itself is phenomenal. Overlooking the nine arch bridge. Very quiet and beautiful. Highly recommend staying here. Beautiful home and beautiful people!! We were very sad to leave

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.

Sasil and her family were very kind and helpful. They are amazing hosts. I highly recommend to stay there, they made our stay perfect. Only thing is, when you reach the property you need to walk down on a hilly way and if you reach there at night it is very dark. Sasil's brother hepled us to go to the property but I suggest that they should renew the way of walking and put some lights around the stairs and the way to the property

Hobbit Hole accomodation is very amazing, modern, the view is

We would recommend to install an AC in the room or install a insect screen at the door so you could open the doors for a few hours because it is more chill at night time.

We loved our stay at Hobbit Hole Hideaway in Ella – a cozy and unique place surrounded by nature. The highlight was definitely the unbeatable view of the Nine Arch Bridge right from the property – truly the best spot to see it! Everything was clean and peaceful, and the hosts were incredibly kind.

We loved everything ! Zero complaints! Amazing location with the best view of the Nine Arch Bridge! The highlight of our stay was Sashi and her family; their warm hospitality and the Bfast provided. The night sky view is amazing from the patio. Thank you Sashi ! We hope to visit again soon :)

A hotel with incredible views. The room exceeded our expectations, it was beautiful, very worked, every detail incredible! The staff is very attentive and helpful! Highly recommended

Because of its remote location, many of the houses around the area source from rainwater. Due to this the water pressure was kept lower than comfortable for the shower and there was one instance of water running out which wasn't ideal. MOST IMPORTANTLY - Bring the payment for the booking in CASH as the pay is not taken from the website or by card. Thankfully we had that exact amount but fair warning to fellow travelers.

This little cottage in the mountains of Ella took my breath away! The soft fog in the afternoon, the sun rays highlighting the view of the Nine Arches Bridge, the soft pattering of rain.. this was the perfect getaway for relaxing and getting some peace of mind. Our host was a lovely lady and her family (I didn't catch their names) treated us so well and with such a smile. She prepared for us the most delicious papaya smoothie that I still dream about and breakfast upon request. The home cooked meal was one of the best and most memorable meals we had on the island! Keep in mind the location is about a 40-minute walk from Ella Town, but we had no discomfort walking back and forth at all, although tuk tuks are available along the road if you get tired or caught in the rain.

I've visited hundreds of hotels in my life, and while many have faded from my memory, this one will always stand out! The location is simply unforgettable, with its unique charm and breathtaking views. And let’s not forget the amazing breakfasts—they were absolutely perfect! Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Everything was perfect, there isnt a single thing I would change.

Perfect! Everything was absolutely amazing. The view is fantastic, food was delicious, it was extremely clean, quiet at night, the staff was very helpful and very nice. It is a completely new room, build about a month ago so everything is new, nothing is broken, it also looks amazing. Room was big, had enough storage space, toilet and shower are separated which is another plus. The shower was modern and definitely the best and the cleanest we had in Sri Lanka, same goes for the room and terrace. The hanging net is only yours to use, it is safe and again, like everything else, compeltely new. Towels, coffee, tea are provided. Breakfast costed 5€ and it included food and juice, highy recommend. Less than 10min walk to the Nine arches bridge and 5min tuktuk ride to Ella town, you can also walk over the bridge and then to Ella. There is not a single thing that could be done better.

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!

An absolutely wonderful place! The view is breathtaking and truly unique – perfect for relaxation. The owners are incredibly kind and welcoming. The place itself is brand new, beautifully designed, and full of charm. Everything is well-maintained and thoughtfully arranged to create a cozy and peaceful atmosphere. We truly loved our stay!

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!
