Traumhafte Sonnenaufgänge aus dem Bett
Pros:

Wunderschöne Lage beim Sonnenaufgang! Die Zimmer sind ausreichend groß und schön eingerichtet. Die Badewanne auf dem Balkon ist ein Highlight.
Die Anlage ist sehr schön. Kurzer Weg zu den Schienen für einen Spaziergang oder Wanderung. Die Familie ist sehr hilfsbereit und nett!!

Das Essensangebot am Abend ist noch ausbaufähig.

Pros:

All the hosts were lovely - we so enjoyed walking along the railway to the accommodation. From here we then walked up Ella Rock on way and the other way to 9 arch bridge. If you like birds this is the place for you, I have the Merlin app and it registered over 20 birds, and because you are up in the trees, saw at least half of them. Totally recommend.

Incredible stay at Rainbow Sky Cottage
Pros:

We absolutely loved our stay at Rainbow Sky Cottage.
The room was beautiful and clean and had the most stunning view, especially exciting when the train passes by.
The owners could not be more lovely and accommodating. They will come pick you up from the drop off point as the drive is pretty steep so not easily accessible by car. They shared all the information prior to arrival so it was easy to do. We also used them a couple of times for pick up and drop offs into Ella town.
Otherwise you can get to Ella by walking about 15 minutes along the train track which was really fun (we even saw a monkey). It is initially down a steep hill but after that it’s flat.
We would highly recommend.

Cons:

Nothing. The walk down to the track is steep but if you have mobility issues a tuktuk is easy to organise

Pros:

The view was surreal; we were upgraded to a great room, and we were very comfortable. The location is ideal, since it’s not in Ella but within walking distance following the train tracks. Our hosts organized tuk tuks to the city when we needed, and a driver to leave for another city. We couldn’t have been more satisfied with our stay.

Pros:

Amazing property

Cons:

The road to the hotel was so bad and unable to reach we had to cancel after the first day because its almost impossible to reach the hotel without fearing for life as its in the top of the mountain with narrow deadly roads.

très bel établissement sur les hauteurs de Ella
Pros:

établissement très agréable perché en pleine nature, à 20 min a pieds de Ella en longeant la voie ferrée (pratique apparemment courante localement). certainement une affaire de famille, nous avons été accueillis par le fils, puis la maman, que des personnes très agréables et à l'écoute de nos besoins. petit déjeuner fait maison très généreux et bon. vue depuis la terrasse de la chambre absolument magnifique

Cons:

l'accès est un peu scabreux... ne pas s'y engager avec un véhicule sans savoir ou vous vous rendez ! mais l'établissement prévoit tout, nous avions été prévenus en amont et un véhicule est venu nous chercher au début de la portion de route concernée.
