About Country Homes
Tucked into the hills of Ella, Country Homes is a modest two-star guesthouse that earns its 8.5 guest rating through straightforward comforts and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. Rooms are simply but carefully furnished to feel more like a private home than a conventional hotel, with linen service and air conditioning available in select rooms. A fireplace in the lobby makes the property particularly pleasant during cooler evenings, which are common at this altitude — worth bearing in mind when considering the best time to visit Ella. Practical amenities include free Wi-Fi, on-site parking, room service, laundry and dry cleaning facilities, and luggage storage at reception. Airport transfers can be arranged in advance, and the guesthouse can organise car hire, shuttle transport, and local tours, making it straightforward to explore the surrounding area independently. The property operates as a entirely smoke-free environment throughout.
