This cottage is a nothing less than a paradise amid-st the calming flow of the river from athirapally falls. It is ideal for a group of 4-5 and offers a very unique (close to nature) experience to its inhabitants. Following are some aspects that i loved about the property: 1) it is a fully furnished 2bhk with a/c in all the rooms, including the living room. 2) offers a spectacular view of the river and the adjoining forest from the 1st floor. 3) 1. 2 kms away from athirapally falls. 4) many restaurants are available in close proximity. 5) full fledged kitchen with all the necessary equipments (refrigerator and microwave oven) and utensils available. Sugar, coffee powder and tea were also available before hand. 6) plenty of parking space as the compound space is pretty huge. 7) easy accessibility to the river, literally 50 steps away from the cottage. 8) garden space with furniture available for that morning/evening tea. 9) very helpful staff which was available on call. There was a problem with one of the washroom’s light bulb and it was solved within an hour. Their approach is very customer centric, so it was extremely comforting to let them know if we needed anything. 10) the entire cottage was in mint condition with all the sitting spaces cleaned, something that i’d often ignored by other home stays. 11) couple of dogs to keep you company and play with you. It is a treat to be with them if you’re a dog lover and if you aren’t, then don’t worry. They won’t enter the cottage. They’ll just wait outside the door. Other points (not cons)
1) the approach road to the cottage might concern you but one can easily take a car there. 2) only ground floor bathroom is attached to the bedroom. The one for the first floor is a rather small one and is not attached. 3) it is better to reach the cottage before it is dark as there aren’t many street lights supporting the narrow lanes which lead to the stay. Hands down, it was the best stay in my week long trip to kerala. I would highly recommend this stay to everyone.
