The attention to detail from the Ansan and team was just wonderful. We felt immediately at home here. Also early check in and breakfast was no problem as this had been communicated beforehand. It was also special to share our stay with guests who regularly stay here, having conversation over delicious dinner and breakfast! We also made sure to have an Ayurvedic massage which did not disappoint! Also Kottayam is close by and definitely worth a visit once you have taken time to wander around the homestay and soak up the atmosphere. We hope to return here soon one day.

Beautiful garden on a canal. Village life in the backwaters. We ate every evening at the homestay as the home cooked food was delicious. Lunch snacks from stalls nearby. Ajith and his parents were perfect hosts; welcoming, knowledgeable, helpful, respectful, can’t praise them enough. Come here to rest and relax.

You need some form of transportation to get around. Other than that the owners are super friendly, you can order food. The garden is super nice and the whole backwaters area is really pretty. I recommend checking out the bird sanctuary very early in the morning. He also offer to use the boat for 1000rupees/hr

    Seriously an excellent homestay experience. You're in gorgeous jungle farmland, with amazingly friendly and helpful hosts, and the rooms are very comfortable. I can't recommend enough. There is a pool, a river right outside with boats and kayaks in the right season. Birds and other friendly critters about. Remote enough but also food delivery is available and they cook amazing free breakfast everyday. Excellent dinners are provided daily if desired for a very reasonable price. You should stay here!

    Very beautiful and quiet scenery, because the homestay is in the middle of the nature. Ajith and his family are the sweetest and most generous people and helped us with all our questions. One morning we did canoeing which was very nice in the surroundings of the homestay. The evening dinners and breakfast were cooked by Ajiths mother which were very tasty. Because we liked the atmosphere at the place so much we booked an additional night.

    Good quiet area but Kottayam was s so close if you want to go to the city. Ajidh and his family are absolutely superb and will help you in every question. We absolutely enjoyed our stay in Kutticattil Homestay and will definitely recommend everyone to stay there if you’re travelling in this area.

    We really enjoyed our stay at Kuttickattil Gardens Homestay. Ajith and his family were fabulous hosts and the food was delicious! It was especially nice to have access to a small kitchen and fridge, as well as a washing machine. They also provided drinking water for refilling our water bottles. We highly recommend staying at Kuttickattil Homestay!
