“Peaceful, relaxing quiet, clean and welcoming cottage.”
+This place was exceptional for me. First off I was met at train station and taken to the cottage. From the road you need to navigate some very steep stairs which were no problem for me. The cottage has such a beautiful view looking across to the mountains and down to fields where rice and vegetables are grown. Also the jungle is part of the view. The cottage is large comfortable and has a mosquito net. The bathroom is also large. The breakfast is amazing and being gluten free it was so good and way too much! Nirmala was so helpful.
−I loved it all. It felt like home.

+Excellent is where I'll start. The location is stunning, the view is unbeatable, the room upon arrival was exceptionally clean with a large and comfy bed. The bathroom clean, large and has a great warm shower with good pressure. The host is incredibly nice and helpful. Stayed here for 6 nights and every morning started off with the most incredible breakfast FEAST, which was different nearly everyday except for when we requested to have the Sri Lankan traditional breakfast twice (Delicious). Quiet but close enough to town by bike or tuk tuk. Great and vibey restaurant right next door with another great view so you don't have to go far if you don't want. Usually when I travel I like to stay in different places to mix things up but without a doubt when I return to sri Lanka I will be staying here again. I'll recommend this to all my friends/family who pass through Ella. Thank you for the amazing stay.

+The owner is a warm-hearted gentleman, exceptionally friendly and genuinely caring toward his guests. From the moment we arrived, he made us feel welcome and at home. Every morning, he prepared breakfast tailored exactly to our preferences, always served with a smile and a kind word. The property itself offers a stunning view, the kind you could happily spend hours admiring, and from time to time, playful monkeys make a surprise visit, adding a unique charm to the experience.

+I really enjoyed my stay at Ice Age Cottage. The host made me feel very welcome and comfortable, and the breakfasts were delicious. I even had an issue with my mobile phone, and it needed repairs . He took me straight to a repair shop it the morning, where it was immediately fixed. I was so thankful. The view from the balcony is also stunning. I highly recommend staying here 😊

“We had a truly memorable stay at Ice Age Cottage in Ella! The absolute highlight was the breathtaking view from our room”
+The property features a single-room cottage, which was cozy, clean, and beautifully set up,perfect for a couple or solo traveler looking for peace and quiet. The bathroom was decent, with reliable hot water, which is always appreciated in Ella’s cooler climate. Plus, there’s free Wi-Fi, which worked well throughout our stay. The breakfast was incredible, with a huge variety of local and Western options,everything was fresh, tasty, and well-prepared. Truly one of the best we had during our trip. The owner was extremely amicable and welcoming, always ready to help with anything we needed and made us feel very much at home. Just a small note for future guests: to reach the cottage, you’ll need to walk down and back up a flight of steps, so be ready for a bit of a climb. But trust me, the view at the bottom is more than worth it! If you’re heading to Ella and want a peaceful, scenic, and welcoming place to stay, Ice Age Cottage is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended,we’d definitely come back!
