2 friends and I stayed at Dean Dale for only 2 nights but we really had a positive experience...not only because the rooms were clean for a reasonable price, but mostly because the family was so welcoming. They constantly asked us if we needed help organizing anything and offered us lifts if we needed it. I left that place very... More

My wife and I stayed at Dean Dale in April 2013 as part of a 4 month India trip, and after our first 6 weeks starting in Chennai and then south through Tamil Nadu, we needed a break. This place fitted the bill perfectly - situated in a small community a couple of kilometres from Kumily, it is, for India,... More

The room was clean and cozy, almost fancy... More

Since we were having the taxi so no problem but I hope they arrange free pick up from the town so again no issue. The room was big, neat and clean. The whole family... More

We had a really nice time in Dean Dale Cottage. The place is at less than 5 minutes by auto rickshaw from the village, so don't believe the auto drivers who say it is very far to make you go in an other place ! The family often picks people up where they want. The family is really nice and... More

Lovely place and very accommodating family that will look after your every need. Rooms are lovely, I was lucky enough to be given their house to stay in while some family members were away and the guest rooms were busy, was a nice time out from our backpacking style of travel. Well priced too, check it out. Dan

Cant fault the place. Rooms are extremely clean and decently priced however Cheryl is not to far off a desperate rickshaw man trying to grab a fare. She is politely pushy attempting to sell her day trips, massages or even home meals to get some sort of commission.
