The cottage we stayed in was delightful, with a kitchen if you want to prepare snacks, etc. We ate in the dining room every day where the food was always good, but served a bit... More

Very Friendly and Sweet People - this was the first impression that we had when we rang up to confirm bookings. This place is home, the people welcome you like family, and engage you with their experiences. Mr and Mrs Mansoor are very honest, forthcoming and have no airs. Their food, rooms, and rates are Honest and very very comforting.... More

We visited acres wild during mid jan. It was chilly in the nights but days were pleasant mostly. The farm is everything it claims on the website. Its really a farm with the cowshed, duck pond, hen pen and the special cheese cottage where they make their wonderful cheese. The hosts - Mansoor and Tina are warm and hospitable. They... More

Approach: You would definitely need an SUV. The road (or whatever is left of it) is a treacherous journey by itself. the path keeps... More

The cottages are aesthetically designed and the food is delicious. Kids... More

True to its word, this place adheres to some of the fundamental sustainable living practices like rain harvesting, gobar gas lines, organic vegetable garden, fish breeding, a cheese making cottage, cowshed and brick making. Though its just 15 minutes away from the conoor town, this place is ‘hidden’ by ziz-zag roads that cut through a part of the forest. If... More
