Fabulous stay in a room with stunning views
Pros:

The views from our room were stunning and the room and facilities were exceptionally clean and well maintained. The staff were very attentive and the restaurant food was fabulous.

Cons:

We hadn’t been informed about the tea demonstrations so unfortunately missed them which was a shame

Beautiful tea country retreat
Pros:

Beautiful location deep in the hills covered in tea plantations. The building is like a museum and takes you back in time and the staff were very attentive. Really enjoyed the tea plucking and tasting experience and went for a long walk through the plantations. A memorable place to spent a day (or longer, as they also organize other excursions).

Cons:

It is a very unique experience therefore expect to pay European prices for everything.

Hotel unico nel suo genere
Pros:

La struttura bellissima e posizionata in mezzo ai campi di tea. Lo staff estremamente efficiente e cordiale. Ho apprezzato molto la passeggiata tra le coltivazioni guidata dal sig. Muttusami, la visita del giardino con il sig. Pathmaraj, la visita della piccola fabbrica del tea con la signora Krishna e le pulizia della camera grazie al roomboy sig. Wasantha. Ci tenevo a menzionarli per la loro capacità di rendere la struttura un posto unico nel suo genere ed eccellentemente gestito.

Cons:

Il bagno deve essere rinnovato e climatizzato ( faceva freddo ).

Der Aufenthalt hier ist ein besonderes Erlebnis
Pros:

Wunderschön gelegen und sehr aufwändig und liebevoll restauriert. Man spürt den alten Charm und wird entsprechend hervorragend umsorgt. Auch die Teaplucking Experience hat uns überraschend gut gefallen. Mit einer Übernachtung kommt man gut hin.

Cons:

Der Weg zum Hotel ist etwas mühsam aber die Reise lohnt sich, der Aufenthalt ist ein schönes Erlebnis. Das Abendessen würde ich nicht mehr über Booking buchen, vor Ort ein besserer Preis

良い経験、良い想い出
Pros:

ロケーション、眺望、ホテル設備、部屋など総合的にとてもよかったです。バスタブ付きの角部屋にしましたが、茶畑を一望することもでき、夕日や朝日も見ることができ、とても良い思い出を作ることができました。

Cons:

ホテルで紅茶を使ったディナーをいただきましたが、値段と味が合いませんでした。もう少し紅茶を全面に押し出したメニュー、味にした方が良いです。受付の従業員の方の対応がやや不愛想であり機械的で、対応に時間がかかります。また、ハイティー、茶積み、早朝茶畑ウォーキングなど、値段が高いです。OHP場にも値段の詳細を記載しておいてください。

Beautiful
Pros:

The building itself, being an old tea factory, was beutifully renovated. The staff welcome with tea was lovely. The grounds and gardens were lovely and the views of the tea plantation were stunning. Breakfast was good and dinner at the restaurant was lovely - but it would have been nice to know about the dress code in advance.

Cons:

The property is very isolated, up a windy steep road. It definitley allows for a beautiful spot with great views but means that you can't just pop into a nearby village for dinner.

Unique and relaxing experience amidst the clouds
Pros:

Spacious and comfortable room. Well kept garden. Tea Factory experience. Scenic location. Excellent and attentive service. Delicious food.

Cons:

Food is priced too high. The use of recreational facilities such as the pool table results in extra costs. Driver's meals require significant improvement.
