The best way to explore a new place like nilambur would be from a real homestay. Eadens Hermitage is a great home to have. Warm hosts, nice heritage, great food.From here you can tour rivers, falls, forests and more. Wonderful

Litreally it was a visit to the grandmother/father's place like in the good old days. Hospitality is there every where especially when you feel a little awkward to ask there is madam every where to sort out.Wish we could stay here longer and wish people who run homestays in this region to learn from ma'm and uncle what is home stay. PEACE,TRANQUIL,CARE IS EADENSHERMITAGE HATS OFF EADENS

I was completly prepared to have accomdation just like another typical homestay. where we will have a room and the hall will be common. i must fairly say, this stay took me by surprise. The first element of the happy surprise started with the traditional bell that was hanging outside the front door.From there , to the hospitality and motherly affection of Renu to the amazing traditional food. The pesticide free coffee everything about this place makes it feel like a home away from home. This is the perfect place to feel the aunthentic atmosphere of tradition. My wife and i have already begun planning our next vacation around the fact that we have to stay here. in fact staying here might actually be the vacation itself. Date: 12-07-2010.

The Thomas family has a gift for hospitality. There is the ever-smiling Renu Thomas, the steady presence of Aniyan Thomas and the ever helpful rithu. Not to forget rithu’s two smiling kids: lalitha and laya . We enjoyed our stay here it was a home away from home. And we unduly enjoyed a trip with the Thomas to a near by estate. It was a good chance to unwind and appreciates nature. So, to the Thomas’s ,a big THANK YOU from the selasteen family. We are same many more guest will have the good fortune to stay at your home stay !
