Train View Chalet

HOME COOKED AND SO DELICIOUS

ALL GOOD

This place is a hidden gem and we loved it. When we drove through the town we worried it would be noisy, but it’s tucked away in dip on the far side of the railway line and an oasis of calm. Everything has been so cleverly thought through making the most of the landscape with beautiful gardens and small river to swim in. We upgraded to the family suit when we arrived which was built over two floors with a fantastic balcony (with beanbags) to watch the trains go past. The rooms are finished with an amazing attention to detail and immaculately clean ~ we loved the fish tank and the reclaimed sleepers. Eranda the owner speaks excellent English and is mind of knowledge and ideas. He offers a wide range of tours and was happy to adapt them to suit our needs. My husband is a train enthusiast so Eranda adapted one of tours to give more of a train focus. He also made sure we knew exactly when a train would pass so we got a good view from the hotel grounds. The food here was great and the Sri Lankan curries were some of the best we ate. We particularly enjoyed the Sri Lankan breakfast. They were also very good at adapting their menu for food allergies. The staff team were brilliant and we wish we could have stayed longer - it was hard to leave!

Everything was perfect but we would have liked there to be a SriLankan food option on the dinner bed and breakfast package. Once we asked they were happy to arrange it.

Excellent séjour. En dehors d’Ella c’est très agréable car en pleine nature. Petit déjeuner copieux. Dîner possible aussi sur place. Nous avons pu faire la journée en 4*4 à Lipton s’est, génial. Nous avons eu un problème avec notre chauffeur, et ils nous ont mis à disposition le van pour terminer notre séjour sereinement.

Budget plutôt élevé pour le Sri Lanka mais nous ne regrettons pas, c’était top !
