an outstanding bed&breakfast experience. beautifully built (I liked the antique kerala look with the verandahs), spacious and very well-appointed and comfortable rooms, and very good breakfast. our party booked one 2-bedroom and one 3-bedroom unit. and having a lift made getting around easy. the owner, srimati padmini, was very good to interact with, and it was nice having her and her daughter serve us home-made breakfast of idli and pongal because we were there during the Pongal festival and the staff were on leave. this homestay with only 5 units was built to cater not only to indian tourists to the great temple, but also to foreign tourists, because the owner runs a travel agency and can organize cars, tours, etc for you (we drove our own car, and there was parking right next door). you do have to drive to the Ranganathaswamy temple, as it's about a km away. we also visited the Rock Fort temple at dawn, and that's a short trip too. we only stayed one night, but it was the best accommodation in our temple trip to trichy, thanjavur and chidambaram. highly recommended, worth the slightly higher price.
