Pros: The breakfast was good. However, a variety of cuisine would make a difference from the usual that we can find along with the cafes in India or for the fact Kodaikanal. Idlis, Dosa, Parotta, Dhal and chutneys are very common breakfast in every state of India. A variety would have been more appealing, nonetheless, everything else was good.

Pros:
Cons: The cottage where we stayed was priced at 17000Rs per night. At this price I had expected it to be much flasher than it was . The cottage looked very tired and the view from the back window was the poorest. The cottage didn't even had a heat pump but an old school heater . The water in the glass bottle was stale they should have at least given us mineral water . The overall look inside the room was very tired with old walls and the bed linen was also not very clean found bird feathers on it . The hotel phone wasn't working and the heater would not start straight away had to get somebody to turn it on . So very average not worth 17000 a night.

Pros: Breakfast was good. Parking space was adequate. Room had a good view. The hotel employee Atharva who setup our campfire was a good fellow.
Cons: Dinner was average. Worst experience with the reception guys. What they agreed earlier in phone conversation was not met in actual. And since it was very late in the night the reception fellow (forgot his name) was quoting, "if you dont like you can move out i will refund your money, also you did not book directly or walk-in for the hotel. Talk with booking.com, I dont want to answer you". But at 8pm in the night where would i go and search for a place to stay?

Pros: Location, neat lenien
Cons: Breakfast, lunch and dinner have very less choice. Please avoid non veg served here . Hotel demanded 2400 extra for child over and above what was mentioned by booking.com....it took lot of time for me to convince that the rate as mentioned by booking.com includes one child with two adults .... At last they waived off but it was not a good conversation and surprise to me.

7,1 Good
Pros: Ambience and staffs are friendly
Cons: Check in / out time is not convenient. Also it is not mentioned during the booking process, as it was only displayed after the booking. We checked in at 2.30 pm and they forced us to check out at 10 am morning which is very difficult when we have family with kids. We need to get 24 hrs room availability from the check in time. Because we travel as per our convenience and not as per the rules of the hotel and this info is not mentioned during pre booking process in booking .com
