Where a cottage stay meets an afternoon of tea.
Scarlet's Cottage & Tea Garden is a historically and traditionally maintained boutique cottage stay set within the heritage lanes of Fort Kochi. Each of our three rooms blends warm Indian colour with British antiques, and every guest is welcomed into a garden built for slowing down.
Beyond the rooms, our Tea Garden hosts a proper British high tea for private parties and group bookings — a three-tiered stand, royal bone china, and freshly baked scones, served beneath the trees.
Tea beneath the trees.
Reserved for private parties and group bookings, our high tea brings a tiered stand of savouries and sweets, tea poured into bone china, and scones warm from the kitchen to the garden. Perfect for a celebration, a luncheon, or a photoshoot — book ahead to reserve the garden for your group.
