Parisons Plantation Experiences by Abad

Excellent property, well maintained and clean. Great location and friendly staff

The staff only understands Malayalam and communication even in English is a challenge. Food options should be increased and cooking style improved.

Location and setting is amazing! A colonial era bungalow in a lush tea estate. Just being there is immediately relaxing and nostalgic. They also have a tea factory and do a lovely tour of the facilities which is very interesting. The room was big and the bathroom was nice. Mr Binoy the manager is a very kind and helpful person and we enjoyed chatting with him and learning about the area and the property. Food is generally tasty and the breakfast was nice. The grounds are lovely and we enjoyed having a swim in the pool surrounded by the beautiful estate.

Its the little things that could be improved to make a better overall experience. For example while the rooms are nice, the lighting was very dim, making it hard to read at night. This really needs to be addressed. There was no fan so when on generator power there was no alternative to the AC. Some floor fans would be a simple, cheap and energy efficient solution. Staff were nice and well meaning but we found we had to ask for obvious things like replacing bathroom amenities after 3 nights, when it was obvious they were running out. When the manager and sub manager are not around the other staff dont really know too much and it's hard to communicate so mealtimes were a little frustrating. They have lovely old style outdoor chairs but no cushions ( at least not by default), making extended sitting uncomfortable, and the pool deckchairs had no cushions as well. Lastly we were confused by the dinner serving sizes....the same curry we ordered on day 1 vs day 3 varied significantly in portion size. These are small things they do add up.

Beautiful heritage bungalow, the space is incredible, the staff are friendly and attentive and the plantation is relaxing. The food was plentiful and delicious.

That we had to leave!

Marvellous location with gorgeous views from a historical place. It is beautifully furnished and decorated and the garden and pool are very welcoming. Food was very tasty and served with lots of kindness.

Beautiful property! Perfect to relax and enjoy your holiday in peace! And a special mention to Binoy and all his amazing staff they made us feel so great at the property and the food was amazing! 10/10 would be coming back next time we are in India

The bungalow is at the top of the tea plantation, so the view from the place is excellent. The place is 125 years old, but well maintained, extremely peaceful and furnished aesthetically. The staff is always around and ready to help you with anything. They always made sure that we were having a good time. The complimentary visit to the tea factory as well as their breakfast is also not to be missed. A suggestion from the manager at the tea factory lead us to Muneeshwaran Kunnu nearby, definitely recommended. Money well spent, I would say..

Nothing that I did not like, but a tip to those who prefer spicy food, do make it a point to inform the staff in advance and they will surely cater to it.
