Ashtamudi Villas

Kollam

Located within 4.3 km of Kollam Railway Station and 4.9 km of Thangassery Light House in Kollam, Ashtamudi Villas provides accommodation with seating area. There is an on-site restaurant, plus free private parking and free WiFi are available. The guest house features family rooms. Wonderful lake front location with a super friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Nothing is too much trouble for the team, who leave you space to relax whilst always being ready to help in any way. Prabhath Joseph went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed our time here. He organised a fantastic punting trip to the Munroes (and Rajesh the auto rickshaw driver made the journey there just as much fun). Prabhath Joseph also took us to the local temple festival which was unforgettable. And when we had to leave he helped us find the right bus/rickshaw etc.

At the guest house, units are fitted with bed linen and towels. The host is very nice and accommodating. We had been traveling all day and after checking in late, he brought us up a bowl of fresh fruit because we didn't give a solid answer on if we had eaten or not. So sweet! 10/10 recommend doing the backwaters tour with him. It is such a special experience. His friend Valentine does a beautiful tour and dinner.

This beachfront property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The guest house features family rooms and facilities for disabled guests. We absolutely LOVED our stay at Shore Stories! From the moment we arrived, we knew our stay was going to be very special. This was our 'relaxation phase' of our trip and Ajay went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of our stay was accommodated and exceeded! Food, drinks, transport, entertainment, restaurants... he catered to our every need and he's also an incredibly kind, caring and considerate man! The space is pure bliss - secluded beach with golden sand and clear warm waters, with an immaculate room, huge comfortable bed, outside terrace with sunset views every evening (either from the room itself or the upstairs terrace). We've since recommended his beautiful place to friends and we 100% recommend Shore Stories to other booking.com guests! Thank you Ajay!!
