My daughter and me went on a holiday to Kerala with my friend Chinnu(Elizabeth) and her daughter. We stayed at the WINDERMERE in Munnar. Oh! what a sight! On arrival, we were given fresh tea with some snacks which was really very tasty. We were given a cottage with adjoining rooms - which we really enjoyed. The rooms are big... More

We were upgraded to the Planters Villa which undoubtedly helped with our enjoyment of this lodge. The views from the room and from other vantage points on the property were most beautiful. The lodge is set high up in the hills in tea and cardamon plantations a little way off from the highway and town. Before you arrive stop for... More

This hotel enjoys an incredible location in the middle of tea plantations, with beautiful valley views. It was extremely difficult to find (no signs) for our Indian driver. We found it far from Munaar and felt that a closer hotel might be a better choice. Our room, PL A, had an annoying hum from generator nearby but luckily it stopped... More

After a very long and windy 4 to 5 hour drive from Thekkady, we were pleased to have chosen to stay at Windermere Estate for its quiet location and misty views. As we had our own car and driver, staying 10 minutes outside of town was not an issue for us. As we are a family of 2 adults and... More

The hotel is set amidst stunning scenery at altitude and surrounded by mountains, tea plantations and spice fields. Munnar itself is a ten minute drive and is a busy market town with a range of shops. The hotel itself is often described as luxury. However, in the UK it would struggle to rate three stars based on the standard of... More

I cannnot recommend it more highly! Go... More

Windermere estate is a little 1950's style sea of tranquility in the hustle that is India, and all the more appreciated for that! It is part of the CHG group of hotels that major on good bedlinen, large,comfortable beds with an eco awareness that puts the UK to shame. The climate in March/April was lovely and refreshing at 20+ degrees... More
