Abad Brookside Wayanad is a 4 star hotel outside Kalpetta, in the wider Wayanad district of North Kerala. Its 4.4 out of 5 guest score comes from 1942 reviews. The property sits inland among coffee and pepper country, and its long list of facilities makes it a practical base for families and drivers rather than a retreat for anyone wanting to be in the middle of a town.
What the hotel lists
Abad Brookside Wayanad holds a 4 star rating and a guest score of 4.4 out of 5 from 1942 reviews. The facilities are broad and built around groups. There are family rooms and non smoking rooms, a restaurant with special diet menus and room service, and outdoor and children's pools. A playground, games room, picnic area and table tennis cover wet afternoons, and babysitting is available.
Practical arrangements are covered by a 24 hour front desk and security, express check in, concierge, luggage storage, laundry and a business centre. Free WiFi and free parking appear on the list, as do car hire and a shuttle service. A banquet hall, garden, balcony and patio give the property more space than the room count alone suggests.
Where the property sits
The address is on an unnamed road outside Kalpetta, in the wider Wayanad district of North Kerala. Kalpetta is the headquarters of Wayanad district, and the hotel is 11.9 km from the centre of Kalpetta. This is inland hill country, not a coastal address, and the drive in is part of the stay.
Wayanad is a plateau in the north east of Kerala, reached by a hairpin climb from the Malabar coast. Coffee and pepper grow under the trees here rather than tea on open slopes, and the Edakkal petroglyphs are neolithic. The tiger reserve borders Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, so the forest is continuous in three directions. The property's own road, being unnamed, is one to confirm with the hotel before arrival.
Who it suits
The hotel suits families and groups who want pools, a playground and a games room on site, and drivers who value free parking and a shuttle service. It also suits anyone content to be 11.9 km from Kalpetta and to treat the property as a base for the wider district. It does not suit travellers who want to step out of the lobby into a town, and the unnamed road will not appeal to anyone uneasy about a final approach.
Planning a stay
The season runs from September to May. The ghat road is the weak point in heavy rain, so a stay in the monsoon months carries more risk of a slow or disrupted arrival. Off season, the pools and picnic area are less useful. Book with the road conditions in mind rather than the altitude alone. None of the guest score's detail is on file, so use the 4.4 out of 5 from 1942 reviews as a general guide only.

How far is Abad Brookside Wayanad from Kalpetta?

Does Abad Brookside Wayanad have a pool?
Yes. The listed facilities include an outdoor pool and a children's pool. A playground, games room and table tennis are also listed, which together make the property a reasonable choice for families with children who need things to do on site rather than only in the surrounding district.
