We spent three nights at Pepper Trail and haven't stopped recommending it to family and friends! The setting is stunning - green and lush vegetation on a coffee (and tea) estate that seems to go a long way. Food was excellent - we had dinner there every night and the vegetarian fixed menu was tasty, varied and beautifully presented. The jeep ride through the estate was informative and great fun, as was the bird walk with Gayathri. All the staff were helpful and friendly. A peaceful and relaxing stay in a remarkably beautiful setting - what more could you ask for?

The jets in the pool villa were not working but the staff fixed it for us .

This is a beautifully maintained property set in a tea, coffee and pepper plantation. Only a few rooms, so not busy, and the most beautiful pool. We had originally booked a tree house, which was very special but I got a bit of a vertigo attack, so the lovely staff promptly and with kindness and no fuss moved us to a villa which was huge and incredibly comfortable (and on terra firma). The 8.00 am jeep tour of the estate is definitely worth doing. We have travelled all over India and this is right up there in terms of location, staff and accommodation. Breakfast is taken in the very attractive reception area, where you could eat dinner too if you liked. We had it in our room and the food was fine. Would return, for longer, in a heartbeat. Managed with style.

Everything was lovely.

Stunning property in the middle of a tea & coffee plantation. Waking up to the glorious symphony of bird sound in the mornings was a joy. We stayed in the plantation room which was large and super comfortable with a huge balcony overlooking the natural forest. Food at the restaurant is delicious and the restaurant setting is magical - surrounded by lush green forest - the entire property is exquisite & so relaxing. The staff are all so friendly and helpful - always service with a smile!..We want to return again for much longer next time!

Can’t think of anything

This is a wonderful resort located in a wonderful location. We stay in the tree house. The experience was very good. The staff was invaluable. The resort has many facilities like a swimming pool, a spa.

There was no hot water in the spa room. We expected hot water after the spa, but it was disappointing. During night time, we should close everything and sit inside the room as there are a lot of mosquitoes.

Pepper Trail is a glorious place. I can’t speak highly enough of it. Our pool villa was just fantastic and we made full use of the pool as it is heated to a nice temperature. It was incredible being in the middle of the forest. You might think it could be claustrophobic but it wasn’t at all. Watching the monkeys work their way across the trees in front of our villa , and one come down to sit at the edge of our pool, was magical. We did lots of walks around the property and nearby areas. It is very quiet on the small roads and the tracks through rice fields. In addition, Pepper Trail has a naturalist who will take you on walks and help you with birdwatching. Gayitri is very knowledgeable and a lovely person. All the staff are kind and helpful and the food is delicious.

Our stay at the Pepper Trail was absolutely outstanding. I would go so far to say this was one of my favourite holidays ever. The first thing that made our trip so memorable was the incredible location and accommodation. All the villas are spaced out so you feel like you have the place to yourselves. The facilities were exceptional. The pool is the most beautiful pool I have ever used! My villa had a huge balcony from which I could really relax and enjoy the jungle surroundings. It was huge. The pictures do not do it justice at all. The gardens are absolutely beautiful. So lush peaceful and tranquil. I was there for five days and we had breakfast lunch and dinner there daily. This was the best food I have ever had. The variety on offer for me as a vegetarian was wonderful. What made our stay so memorable was the incredible staff. They were absolutely superb. Every single person we interacted with was incredibly helpful, smiling, engaging. They couldn’t have done more for us. The service was second to none.

Nothing.

Pepper Trail exceeded our expectations in terms of luxury and attention to detail by every single member of the staff. From the way that the heritage Mackenzie suite has been 'lovingly restored' with handpicked furniture and decor to the landscaping and green cover of plantations, the quality of food and hot beverages served to the conversations with nature experts on the property, we truly lapped it all up. Most of all, we appreciated the key ingredient of thoughtfulness they added to create a memorable and comfortable stay for us.

The only suggestion we'd have is for the restaurant to enable an à la carte option in the menu for those who may not need as much quantity as served per person within the fixed set. That would help in reducing food waste too!

Everything about Pepper Trail was amazing. As soon as I entered the gates It felt so tranquil. I stayed in a premium villa, which is really large and airy and has a veranda for watching the birds during the day or just relaxing. The pool area is so peaceful, surrounded by tropical flowers & plants. All the staff went out of their way to help with anything, they were very knowledgeable about all the wildlife, plants and spices. The food here is great too, if I had one small quibble, it’s that you always got way too much food. I would highly recommend Pepper Trail.

Nothing

Amazing peaceful side trip from my business trip to Bangalore. Wonderful food, service and optional included activities. Highly recommend. Staff were excellent. They helped me arrange car service to and from the airport. My favorite was the morning nature and bird walk with Kishore who is very knowledgeable. They arranged an Ayurvedic massage and steam for me too!

Infinity pool was stunning, Heritage property (MacKenzie Suite) and excellent tour around the plantation. Staff were all lovely and particularly excellent was the guy who takes the activities- he was extremely knowledgeable.

Nothing not to like. It was a bit quiet (not many other guests) but they had had some cancellations due to news about a landslide. However, this was about 60k away and the property was well outside of that zone.
