We booked a 3 night stay Pepper County via Mahindra Homestays and found it to be just as other reviewers have described - an exceptionally comfortable and well run homestay. Cyriac and Dolly are rightly proud of their Tripadvisor award. The house is spotlessly clean and Dolly is an excellent cook and was happy to show us how to cook... More

This is truly a place to totally chill and unwind. I have visited here with my mother and just absolutely loved the stay. Dolly is a fantastic cook, we enjoyed her vegetarian cooking (veg as per our choice) and did learn a bit from her culinary skills as well. The rooms are neat and clean and there is nothing more...

This homestay stands out because of the wonderful family that live there. Mr Cyriac and Dolly (who is a wonderful cook!) and their lovely family including their new Grandson cannot do enough to make you enjoy your stay. The house is modern but built in traditional style. The rooms are large, air conditioned, fully equpped and spotlessly clean with piping... More

Mr Cyriac and his lovely wife, Dolly, welcomed us into their beautiful home in Thekkady. The house is modern but with a traditional feel. Our room was large and very well furnished with a small dressing area leading into a spacious shower room. There are three seating areas for relaxing, two inside and the terrace outside which gives you wonderful... More

One night was all we had at Cyriac's homestay and that is why if we ever return we are sure to make a longer stop here. After having travelled considerably over the past 6 years this was our first homestay experience. We relied on the reviews on trip advisor like we have for our past trips and we definitely were...

The host family is very welcoming and wants you to have a relaxing visit, and ensure you are well fed. Both breakfast and dinner had plentiful food. Our booking included a cooking demo (we paid for this). At lunch we situated ourselves in the kitchen while Dolly cooked away, explaining as she went. We had snacks right off the pan,... More

This is a delightful Homestay. The host, Mr Cyriac, is very attentive and anxious to please. He is a gentleman. We had plenty of space in our clean room, we had a lounge to watch BBC news and access to a PC to write our emails home. The food we ate was delicious, and plenty of it. I agree with... More

What a wonderful place to stay. Mr Cyriac and Dolly were perfect hosts, nothing was too much trouble, including giving us a very early breakfast before our 7 am walk in Perriyar. Mr Cyriac gave us a fascinating tour of his spice plantation, far better and more informative than the visit to the local spice gardens. The food was delicious... More
