The Business and Sale of Ellerton
As a boutique hotel, Ellerton has become very successful, with an excellent reputation. It provides the current English owners with a marvellous way of life when in Sri Lanka, and a significant income. However, they have other business interests in the UK as well as a farm, and have regretfully decided that they should simplify their lives.
Ellerton is therefore being offered as a flourishing business, with bookings well over a year ahead, and including Everything At Ellerton, with the only exception of purely personal items of the current owners, such as clothes.

Location Description
Ellerton is only 16kms south of the world heritage city of Kandy, yet is totally rural, sitting on its own hill with marvellous views in all directions. By virtue of being at almost 2500 feet Ellerton has much cooler air than Kandy, yet still a hot sun.
Ellerton is superbly located, with easy access to Kandy through the attractive university of Peredinya, as well as being just off the main road from Kandy up to the Hill Country.
