One night stay to experience the Periyar reserve close by. Our room was enormous and located near the very back of the property. Sadly building works are directly next to the property so we heard angle grinding. Mgr tried to stop them but only the rain did.
Staff amazing. Food delicious. Great cocktails and beers. Breakfast sumptuous! Many many options to choose. Lovely hotel with nature every where. Peaceful (mostly) oasis.

Location is very central. Rooms are nice and clean.
The staff will go above and beyond to help. My dad had dietary requirements and the chef Tom made him his own meal.

Stayed here 3 nights. It's a small family run establishment. Good location close to the entrance to the reserve and 15 mins walk from the reserve ticket office and pick-up point for the reserve trips.
Spacious, room with balcony overlooking fields where mongooses and monkeys were playing, and the forest. Room facilities were a bit basic and room looked damp but this was to be expected given the local climate and the amount paid.

We only stayed here for 1 day but the range of food at breakfast was good, hotel and facilities were clean and the hotel staff were very accommodating. They even organised an earlier breakfast as we needed to check out early to travel the following day which was really appreciated.

Lovely hotel with incredible views - make sure you get a jungle view room! Excellent service from the friendly staff and the bedrooms were beautiful. Some problems with noise from other guests outside the bedroom but otherwise a perfect stay

Excellent owners and staff. They arranged all the sight seeing for us. They go out of their way to help you.
The jungle safari was organized in nearby Tamilnadu even though there was a local issue at Kerala. The shop Hilltop in Kumily, suggested by fathima for local shopping was very reasonable for the prices of spices and nuts. Overall very good experience.
