The seven-night package works because the transfers between the two regions are short enough to do by train (six scenic hours) or helicopter (45 minutes). You don't lose a day to driving.
British travellers booking the seven-night route most often choose Ceylon Tea Trails for the hill country and Cape Weligama for the south coast. Both are Resplendent Ceylon properties; service and check-in are seamless between them.

Questions
Is 7 days enough for Sri Lanka?
Yes — seven nights is the most popular length for British travellers and lets you do two regions properly. Ten nights is even better if you have the leave.
