Windermere Estate, near Munnar

A big room with a balcony, possibly the best accommodation on our trip, and the only place where we used a heater in our room. A quiet dining room with good food; a set menu, and "sorry, no, we don't serve wine", but very good food nonetheless. On our second night we were driven back here in mist and heavy rain along the narrow winding pot-holed road. Our driver, although very skilful (he needed to be) preferred the horn to the windscreen wiper, but it was O.K., we just shut our eyes. Google maps disclose a village close by, but it was quite invisible from our accommodation or from the "lookout rock". A lovely place: recommended.
