Excellent! Of course being in India for the first time was one of the most exciting parts of the holiday. However the lasting impression of the kindness and hospitality of the Kumar family

A resounding A+++ in absolutely every respect....The totally exceptional kindness and perfect customer service of the Home Stay Family who organised everything seamlessly, who arranged little extra treats, who were a fund of information and totally dedicated to our every need. We had never experienced anything of this total dedication in all our sixty years.

Staying at this homestay was like staying with our own family - and we could not have wished for anything better!...Absolutely excellent - I can honestly say that this has to be one of the best holidays I have ever been on - and I am already thinking about booking to go back! I don't think I can wait too long - I miss it already!

The personal treatment we received from the family was memorable. We enjoyed the fact that there were two generations in the one family with which to exchange ideas and points of view.

There were many memorable features. Being in the company of a special family with their warmth and hospitality - wonderful accomodation in the beautiful setting of the Nilgiri Hills. Absolutely brilliant! We want all our friends to enjoy the same experience.

We find it hard to pull out one memorable part of our 3 days with Rajat and family at their wonderful home in the Nilgiri Hills. I think though if we had to pick one thing it would be the extraordinary warmth, hospitality and kindness bestowed on us by the family from the moment we stepped out of the car. We were made to feel like long-lost family or best friends.

The week with the family was just simply amazing with homely and comfortable, eco-friendly facilities and surroundings. Renu is a skilled cook with strong ethics surrounding the subtleties of centuries of Indian food culture and beautiful dishes continued to emerge from her kitchen non-stop for the week.

This was a homestay so taken at a gentle pace: relaxing without any particular highlight [unless you count the toy train down the mountain].

I spent a week on the holiday and greatly enjoyed every day of it, from a day's walk in the Nilgiri hills to a trip on the mountain railway. But to be honest, the most memorable part was the warmth and welcome that his family gave me, a single traveller, when I arrived and subsequently when we ate together.

Make sure you take advantage of the many walks and hikes available, you will be amazed at the diversity of the area. Try to be up in time to see the sunrise at least once, it really is special.

We really enjoyed the food and the cookery classes, and our ability now to cook several basic Indian recipes is probably the enduring legacy of the holiday. The food we ate was utterly superb.

Spending time with the whole family was the highlight for us, eating fantastic home cooked food and talking about life in India and the UK. It's also a very beautiful part of the world, and great to be there with people who really know it well and can share that knowledge.

We give this accommodation 4 stars. Lalith and Rupa were excellent hosts (interesting, flexible and client focussed) and became friends in a very short period of time.

The 'highlights' must include Lalith and his family and ordinary people in the local area and in Tamil Nadu - helpful happy gentle people. Second is the area - outstandingly beautiful with good walks accessible by jeep from the laid out tea estates to the forest and plantations.

I was very impressed by the Jain temples. The stone carvings and architecture displayed a great attention to detail and spoke of painstaking devotion.

One of the best holidays we have had and we have loads of stories to tell friends, children and grandchildren. I have already recommended it to several friends who are thinking of going to India. Every day was exciting. Having breakfast on the deck overlooking the valley made our hearts soar.
