Excellent always smiling service from the resort staff. Some early goof ups from their Blore marketing team was easily managed and taken care by the Resort Manager Mr Arvind. The valley view... More

A place to go for for pure and fresh air, calm and serene atmosphere, soothing ambiance.... Choose this place if you want nothing but peace and rest. Still there are lots of activities that can arranged through front office. Has many indoor and outdoor games, barbecue and an infinity swimming pool. The most friendliest employees and workers you could ever... More

WE just came back from our visit from Porcupine Castle. WHile the views of the place are certainly spectaular..the luxury factor of the rooms (given the rates) leaves a lot to be desired. However, its a clean well kept resort which is still growing and has great potential. Highlight of our trip: the jeep plantation drive with one of the... More

Fantastic location, well maintained property, excellent service. I loved the valley view room. It's a great place for a family getaway. The buffet should have included South indian and Coorgi cuisine to highlight the local culture and food.
