Beautiful Property
Pros:

Great and clean stays, Service and Hospitality is awesome.
The room was spacious and comfortable for 4 to sleep. Views from the room superb. We were taken care of by Jyothi &  Pooraj the staff. They provided fresh homemade foods especially Chichen Gravy with Chappati which was awesome. On our request they added bread Butter toast in the breakfast so thanks to them. Owner is friendly and very Helpful. 
The property is located at a very nice location & Big Area. I liked my one night stay.

I would really recommend for family or group stay.

A Lovely Stay in Serene Setting up
Pros:

We had such a fabulous time at The Laughing Woods, we'd recommend it to anyone. The room was massive, with an incredible view out into the Tea Plantation. You really feel like you're in the middle of nowhere, which is very peaceful, beautiful and green. The Owner Prasanna was so communicative, and helped us to plan a really interesting few days in Kotagiri. He was immensely helpful, with great recommendations.

His Staff are so lovely and welcoming, and wow, the breakfasts were absolutely delicious - some of the best food we've had in South India. Well cooked homely food. It is not masala masala and Our Stomach was so Happy 😊.
It is a beautiful spot to stay even though it involves a little bit of extra driving. The rooms are very clean. The food is fantastic! In Dinner, Paneer Gravy and Egg Gravy are Super. By walk we went around 8kms in the resort road and its Amazing. This place is especially a Safe and comfortable Destination for Couples & Woman Travellers.

Thank you for an incredible stay! 🩷
