Boasting pool views, Kuttickattil Gardens Homestay provides accommodation with pool with a view, free bikes and a garden, around 8.5 km from Kottayam Railway Station.

Excellent stay - Ajith was extremely helpful and sorted our entire trip here with arranging autos, helping with buses, and provided delicious evening meals (at minimal extra cost). We loved the pool which is covered so keeps cool in the humid heat, and the option to kayak along the backwaters. Room is clean and unlimited supply of water. Great value.

    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!
