I had an absolutely fabulous time at this hidden gem in Kodi! The location is breathtaking, perched atop a hill with stunning valley views, and the cozy cottages offer a warm, inviting ambiance. The food was unexpectedly fantastic, surpassing what I've experienced in many restaurants. The only downside was that it's not a luxury property; however, it exceeded my expectations in terms of service and comfort. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a peaceful escape.

I had the most amazing time at Surya Holidays during our anniversary trip! The environment is tranquil and the views, especially during sunrise, are stunning. The rooms provided a cozy yet spacious feel, but the chilly nights required additional heating that came at an extra cost. While the food was comforting and home-style, it could use some improvement in variety. Overall, it's a great value for a peaceful getaway, just be prepared for a few minor inconveniences.
