The Croft Resort - Premium Farm Stay

Breakfast okay

Room cleanness not good , felt very disappointed

This property laid out so well with a beautiful and well-maintained garden. The restaurant has very unique wooden furniture and art. The service and facilities are very good. It has large function halls, swimming pool and games room. The property has their own farm area with many fruit trees. There are Peacocks fly around and many other birds. This was our third stay in the property.

Everything was good for the type of market segment they cater for. There is no entertainment of any sort in the evenings. But the stay is very comfortable without any noise and disturbances.

I stayed at the Croft for seven nights so really got to appreciate how special it is. A solo female traveller, I arrived at night after a long train and taxi journey, and Shiva and his team quickly made me feel comfortable and at home. My room was clean, spacious, air conditioned and well-equipped - the bed was huge! The grounds are something really special, a calming green oasis, and the people who take care of them were so friendly and welcoming. Although I don't speak Tamil, I really enjoyed interacting with the gardener over our mutual love of plants. There were bushes of lantana and swallowtail butterflies, a pond and green space at the heart of the grounds, and so many birds and trees - really calming and peaceful. The pool is immaculate too - I swam every day watching Brahminy kites overhead and palm trees against blue sky. It's a kind of heaven. The food is wonderful too - and the service attentive and generous. Shiva and his team arranged taxis for me to take me on various trips and I had a wonderful tour of the sustainably managed farm at the Croft with Isaaki, who was really knowledgeable about the plants and their uses. I'd go back in a heartbeat, and would recommend for anyone who wants a lush, nature-infused retreat in a place that might be harder than some to get to, but is definitely worth the journey. A huge thank you to Shiva and all his team for a wonderful stay.

I liked everything, but I had a very specific focus for my trip and was happy to stay on the grounds, eat there and go out for dedicated daytime trips. If you're after a busy nightlife or easy transport links then this one might not be for you.

This is a rare case when the pictures don’t do the justice for the resort - in reality it is more beautiful, green, fresh and full of blossoming bushes. The rooms are neat, clean, with opening windows, mosquito nets, tea boiler and A/C. We arrived well after midnight and were checked-in within minutes. Big thank you to the staff!

Environment and the farm lands

More cost

Nice

I stayed with my family in the Suite for couple of nights. The rooms were big, beds were comfortable and I love the decor. Breakfast and lunch was too good. The entire farm has been maintained so well especially the pool and the garden.

Stay facilities

Food was very bad, they didn't even have basic foods like cornflakes also. Even coffee and tea was bad. Location was very bad, it was very stranded place, you won't even find emergency places like hospital, super market, medicals nearby. Street lights won't be there while going to the place. Will be very dark and scary if you travel at night. Speaking about weather, it was very hot and you will burn in sun there. You will have facilities like farm visit and cycling inside the stay but you won't be able to do anything as weather will kill you if you step outside. Summing up, this farm stay should not have been in this location, it should have been in a place where waether is nice and chef and catering should be changed. Atleast try to provide buffet for your customers who are paying more than 5000 for one night stay. Even in star hotels they provide buffet breakfast.
