Have just returned from a short tour of Kerala with my daughter aged 8. K R House was a real gem of all the places we stayed. Mr Ramchandran was there to meet us when we arrived and provided an excellent, helpful, flexible and fair service. The room was good value for money, cheap but very clean and with everything... More

Perfectly located on the South cliff rather than the busy North. Perfect as a couples retreat, but would perhaps have chosen North cliff on a friends trip.

The rate was 1000 Rupies and we felt that that was equal to the quality of the room - the only major complaint was that... More

We stayed in K. R. House for 3 nights at the end of July. it was surrounded by gorgeous gardens, and had its own private beach at the bottom of the cliff.
