Backwater Homestay.....
It was described as a "Honeymoon Cottage" but it was more like a home stay/guest house. The owners were wanting to make our stay as comfortable as possible which was nice, but everything was rather basic. The power dropped out every half hour or so. Nothing in the neighborhood was of interest. And, a bit out of the way. I'd recommend this for travelers needing accommodation for a wedding or a party in the area but not really for tourists.

Relaxing Backwater Getaway
A nice place on the backwaters. A little out of the way, but worth the travel. A great place to relax, away from the hustle and bustle. The staff were very attentive and incredibly helpful. Rooms clean, comfortable and spacious. Definitely worth a visit!

Good place to stay
I been there accidentally as I was to kottayam on a business trip. Expedia got me into tis place. Was quiet, away from the traffic & buzz. Have chilled there. The only catch was the kitchen closes by 10@ nitension. Apart from that a very good place for budget honeymoon ( though I was on a business trip). I shall visit this place again.

The land that time forgot
My wife and me spent a few days here during our 3 week tour of Kerala in February 14. We chose it to get the real backwater experience so were not worried about the slightly remote location. Our room was basic but once we had learned how to use the bucket and jug method of washing all was well, the cold water shower wasn't really needed. An excellent place to chill out, we spent hours on the lovely veranda watching the abundant wild life: a king fishers spotters dream. The peace and tranquility really was a step back in time. Food from the simple menu was fresh and well prepared; we loved the dosa for breakfast. What makes this place stand out is the excellent service: the owner really does want his guests to enjoy their stay and offers a level of service not achieved by many an Indian 4 star. Top tip: take up the offer of the 3 hour backwater cruise; we had the boat to ourselves for 2200 rupees and it was a stunning experience. Great stop off for a few days; highly recommended.
