Cloudy hill cottage was a lovely stay, our favourite in Sri Lanka so far! A bit out of town but the views make up for it and very easy to get into town when needed! Breakfast was great and staff were all lovely and accommodating!

everything about our stay was excellent. the accomodation, the location (just outside the hustle and bustle of Ella centre on a hillside with fantastic views), the breakfast but most of all our hosts, Renu and family. They could not have done more for us, producing a booklet with all places to visit and arranging taxis and tuk tuks

“Wonderful stay!”
Beautiful setting with an incredible view from the room and balcony. Massive bed, very comfortable. Fridge in room with water provided and tea/coffee. Excellent host and delicious breakfast - best we had whilst in Sri Lanka - changed everyday and all homemade local food. We were also welcomed with a freshly made lassi on check in.

Spectacular views. Outstanding breakfast. Really helpful staff. The most thoughtful host who went out of her way to buy a present for my child which made him very happy.

“Beautiful hilltop views”
The view from the room is incredible, also very comfortable bed and pillows. The shower is also very modern. Staff are lovely and attentive. Also, you gotta wake up for the breathtaking sunrise from the room. Breakfast is also great and plentiful.

We had a fantastic stay at Cloudy Hill Cottage. The view out over the mountains is incredible and so beautiful to wake up to every morning. The property is up on a hill behind Ella which makes it perfect if you're looking for something quieter away from the hustle and bustle of the town. It's about a 20 minute walk down to the main road or you can easily get a tuk-tuk. The host is so kind and generous and we had a delicious home-made traditional Sri Lankan breakfast every morning - one of the highlights of the stay! Highly recommended.

“Good views of Ella Rock”
The views are the selling point of this place. Located about 8 minutes drive from Ella town, the cottage is placed right opposite Ella Rock. The other selling point is the family that runs this place. They are super welcoming and will look after you throughout your stay. Overall the decor was a bit dated but room was clean and has everything you need.

“Highly recommend everyone to book.”
Cloudy Hill is a very special place. The hospitality from the owner / family is fantastic. Not only was I treated to an amazing breakfast each morning, but the owner went over and above to arrange tuk-tuk rides for me to and from town. The room was also big and spacious and had the most incredible views, including of sunrise each morning.
