The Village Lodge

The location and the look of the property was very quaint. We went in the winter so the paddy fields all around were barren, as the harvest season was over … but we could imagine how beautiful it would have looked when the fields were lush green! The decor of the space emulates a traditional village house. The old block and the new block upper floor rooms look more authentic than the ground floor rooms! However, the upper floor rooms are more colder and are not the best for the winter months! The room furniture and decor was a bit basic and could have been better curated. The rooms in the new blocks in the ground floor could have been a bit better for the price! We felt a little restricted with the breakfast menu. As a person with diabetise, I did not find much food options. The menu offered was too narrow and restrictive. Only watermelon, eggs, bread n butter, and a choice of Aloo puri or Aloo paratha and tea or coffee. For the price this was too basic a choice. Also, the last time to serve breakfast was 9am, which can be a problem if you are not an early riser! It should be atleast extended to 10am, if not 10:30am! One major problem was a lack of running hot water. It took almost 3min for the heater to warm up even after turning it on for a long time! One had to keep the tap open for a while before hot water started flowing. It’s a huge waste of water. Also, the supply was patch and the water will turn cold every once in a while. It a winter country, inconsistent hot water supply can be a big problem. The staff were compliant but not very engaging! Overall an average experience!!
