Our room was lovely and the gardens are beautiful. Staff were friendly and helpful. The only disappointment was the food. You get a set menu, which is quite mediocre compared with everywhere else we have eaten in Kerala. The beef was quite tough and gristly and we were served an apple crumble that had almost no apple and very dry crumble. Disappointing.

The Windermere estate is very comfortable, lovely room with balcony overlooking the valley. Afternoon tea was well worth going to and the chef went to a lot of trouble to provide a lovely experience. The on site naturalist was excellent, leading a walk through the cardamom plantation in the afternoon and a bird watching walk early morning.

We loved the relaxing atmosphere of the property, set in a very well kept garden. The welcoming and the staff politeness made us feel well looked after, especially in the afternoon when coffee and cakes prepared on the spot were served in the gazebo. The following afternoon guided walk through the cardamom plantation was really worth while. The room was spacious and had it's own character, just like you see in photos. No television but very good wi-fi connection, there is a fix menu for the meal with plenty of choice, it was delicious! We wish we could have stayed longer and enjoyed the swimming pool and the bird watching.

I had hesitated to book this hotel as the reviews are somewhat mixed but , in the end, it was one of the most memorable places of our 3.5 week trip to India. The entire atmosphere is very relaxing. You are surrounded by nature, with the mountains, tea and cardamom plantations all around the property. Our room was simple and spacious, evoking the atmosphere of the old plantation. I took the early morning bird watching walk and my husband and I did the afternoon plantation walk as well. Both were excellent, led by their very charming and informative in house naturalist. The set meals were very enjoyable too. I loved the Munnar area and the Windemere Estate enhanced the experience.

This is a beautifully maintained heritage property in the middle of cardomom plantations, There were no A/Cs, but we didn’t mind despite the fact that we were visiting on one of the hottest days of the year. The staff was polite and super friendly. We also got a chance to meet the owner Mr. Simon and had a delightful conversation. The food was delicious, prepared using fresh local ingredients. The place had a vibe and you can feel the calmness and serenity when you are there. The plantation walk in the evening was lovely and not to be missed. If you are looking for a place where you can be with the nature, this is it.

Beautiful charming hotel lost in the plantations. The staff are lovely. The whole thing is comfortable but starting to date. Our room was large with a beautiful terrace but the layout is a bit spartan: if we didn't miss the air conditioning and TV, a fridge would not have been useless. The bathroom is rather basic and could be modernized. It is an ideal place to rest, we live to the rhythm of the day and the birds. The swimming pool is very pleasant and the cuisine is excellent. the hotel offers visits to its cardamom plantations, tea tastings and afternoon tea. In short, a little paradise, certainly in need of renovation, but worth the stay.

My husband and I stayed in the Windermere Estate, a fomer tea plantation. It is located in Munnar, SW India for six days.
It is a beautiful, pleasant abd large estate with several buildings set among misty hills and beautifly tilled fields where tea and spices are still grown. One can go into fields and smell the tea, cardamon or other spices. Rooms are well designed to fit into the natural setting, surrounded by well-tended flowers. There are special spaces designed in not just for eating but for games and…And there is a swimming pool.
Staff were attentive and responsive, making themselves available to go another step when needed.Their demeaners were welcoming and pleasant. Food is good. The area is full of birds, many singing beautifully.

Stayed 2 nights in the garden room, lovely room but not much view and for the price would have expected a fridge especially as you have to bring your own alcohol. They will keep your drinks in their fridge and no problem bringing to you but for convenience would have preferred in room. The area is beautiful and the hotel offers guided walks around the cardomon plantation. The pool was lovely but limited chairs/ beds around pool which could be a little uncomfortable. Afternoon tea was served and some pop up events such as tea tastings. Maybe a notice board with timings of these would help instead of guests having to ask. Food was a set menu reasonable cost and mostly enjoyable but the pork dish we had was too fatty. The breakfast served outside was delightful with the peacefulness of the area. Overall great hotel in munnar.

The property boasts an excellent location and a serene ambience, perfect for those seeking a getaway from the crowds. The staff is friendly, and the owner provides personal attention. However, I encountered a few drawbacks. The British Colonial interior vibe feels somewhat outdated, and the limited set menu for each meal can be restricting. On one occasion, when we requested chai for our driver, the response surprised me – "We don't serve drivers; they have a separate area or can go outside." While I would have gladly paid for it, the attitude was disappointing. Additionally, in-room basic accessories like the dental kit are available only upon request. Considering the limited amenities and menu, the nightly charge seems excessive for what is offered. The location is stunning, but the pricing may not align with the overall experience.
