Only stayed one night but it was a wonderful place to relax. The room was big, airy and spotless. No air con but you don't need it in Ella because of the temperature drop. The breakfast was the best we have eaten in Sri Lanka and the place had real character. It was a real find. JM&BX

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sunnyside Holiday Bungalow. The rooms were clean and comfortable and we particularly loved sitting on the veranda just outside our rooms overlooking the garden. Cynthia and her family were extremely kind and could not have made us feel more at home. Breakfast each morning was a real treat. Cynthia was very happy to explain... More

Sunnyside is just 5 minute walk to the center of Ella, which is also a 5 min walk to go from north to south. The place is not that big, but still very popular on the tourist trail. Then it is nice to know that Sunnyside is located close by and still away from it all. Location is perfect and... More

Loved our stay at Sunnyside! After a long ride from Kandy, coming into the gate and seeing the yellow house & the green green garden was such a welcome sight! It's a short walk down the road from the town and its row of restaurants, and after walking around Ella, we thought we couldn't have picked a better place to... More

Cynthia the host, the reasonnable price and the breakfast are the principal reasons to come here. We stayed only one night, coming from Nuwara Eliya to Uda Walawe. We only came to Ella because we wanted to take the train from Nuwara Eliya to Ella, which was one of the best expérience we had in Sri Lanka. There is really... More

We stayed at Sunnyside Holiday Bungalow for just 2 nights on just a short stop in Ella. The property is a charming 1950's style family house with 3 guest rooms. Our room was a good size, with a double and single bed, spotlessly clean. The house had a great covered outside space with good sitting areas with lovely gardens around... More
