It is a value for money BB. This property does not have a restaurant or even a pantry. It is located a furlong away from the main hotel - Bungalow on the beach so not advisable for travelers with kids or elders.

We fell in love with the sleepy old town of Tranquebar with its Danish fort, its old buildings, the sea and it seemed like it was literally frozen in time for many centuries now.

The stained wood furnishings were... More

The walled gardens are beautiful and the pool is big and super clean. The children loved playing ball in the gardens and my... More

If you've gone through my earlier reviews of Hotel Tamil Nadu & the Bungalow on the Beach, you would have noted that I reserved my top marks to The Gate House. This 'hotel' is again a refurbished heritage property. The main difference with its bigger sister property is that while the BoB has been restored to appear like a European... More
