We really enjoyed our three nights at Meriyanda. The tranquil setting is a genuine break from the urban hustle and bustle. The staff were exceptionally accommodating--especially Sathish, who brought us on a trek to Kote Betta when we could not find a driver! The food was delicious, and the chef was most willing to make accommodations to suit our taste. We were the only guests one night we were there, and the chef made us a lovely multi-course meal nevertheless. The staff was extremely helpful in arranging a car and driver for us to visit surrounding areas one day, and we enjoyed the guided walks in and near the estate. As independent travelers, we also appreciated that once we were shown the way, we could walk on the estate and nearby without needing a guide or a car. We greatly enjoyed the 4-kilometer walk to the nearby waterfall, even though it involved walking ***** the road. There was very little traffic, and the views were glorious. If you are willing to walk a bit in a somewhat rugged environment, it is definitely possible to stay at Meriyanda without a car. While we greatly enjoyed spending time on the porch of our cottage, which had a lovely view of the forest and hills beyond, it would have been nice if the furniture had been in a better condition. Overall, I do think the condition of the interior of the cottages was a little shabbier than I expected given the price point. Also, the lounge/reception area would benefit from a better carom board. Still, these shortcomings did not materially affect our lovely stay. We have so many memories from our trip to Meriyanda. It was definitely a highlight of our recent travels in India. If we did not live so far away (in the western U.S.), we'd definitely be back!
