We stayed here for two nights in one of the cabins. The room was immaculatly clean and well furnitured. The owner was very helpful and yes, the cake is delightful! The only drawback is the sound coming from the other adjacent cabin. But we couldn't be bothered....

Tucked away up the hill from the main junction, this is a cozy, friendly place. Moist cakes are excellent too. Our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids) fit into the cabin well; an extra bed was provided. Book early, there are only a few rooms, although 2 more cabins are bing constructed.

I loved my stay here. I was put in one of the cabins and, although there are slight soundproofing issues between the two, I didn't lose any sleep or peace and quiet over it. The cabins are spacious with comfy beds and mosquito nets and the whole place has a super chilled vibe. It is also conveniently located for Little... More

We really, really enjoyed Little Folly. First, the location is great - close to the center of Ella's tourist center (only a couple of minutes walk), but still very quiet. The log cabins are surrounded by trees and foliage creating a picture-perfect scene. The inside of the cabin was very spacious and clean. The food was very yummy, and great... More

Little Foly is located slightly away from the centre of Ella (which means around 200 meters, as the town is very small ^^). I stayed in one of the lodges that was located at the back, in a very nice little garden. The room was spacious, a bit expensive (compared to other guesthouses; I paid 4000 roupies per night) but...

The "small room directly on the street" that Steffip89 describes is neither small, nor does it face directly on the street. We're talking about the same room because there are only three there, but this room is a very clean, decent size bedroom with en suite bathroom and outside it has a nice little table and chairs that belong to...

We called this place 2 days before arrival and reserved a room for 3500. When arriving at the place we found out that we had a reservation for the small room on the street and not the nice bungalows described. The room was small, directly on the street and right behind the coffe( loud) and not very clean. In the... More

We stayed for 3 nights at one of the log cabin, very spacious and comfortable bedroom. The guesthouse stands in a very quiet place and can be a very good starting point for various walks around the beautiful village of Ella. Nice breakfast, very helpful advices from the owner, Mr Gunasiri, and tasty cakes to have with traditional tea.

We stayed 2 nights in one of the two cabins and it was one of the best accommodations we had. The cabin was clean and comfortable. We heart nothing from our neighbours. The owner was very friendly and helpful. He told us that he will build a thicker wall between the cabins after the peak season in order to improve... More
