    We had a fabulous stay at this homestay. The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our visit. The rooms were spotlessly clean and the location was amazing, surrounded by nature and away from the busy streets. We loved the peaceful atmosphere and the easy accessibility to the town center, just a short walk away. The breakfast provided was delicious and we also appreciated the assistance in organizing day trips and transportation. Despite a few minor drawbacks like a temporary power outage and weak shower pressure, we would definitely recommend Forest Paddy Homestay for a cute, quiet, and comfy stay in Ella. we had a great experience and would happily return in the future.
