We stayed here for one night whilst travelling to Shimla. It’s a comfortable hotel, but not quite up to the level of other hotels of a similar rating that we’ve stayed in elsewhere on our trip. The restaurant food was excellent (highly recommend the chocolate brownie) and reasonably priced (again compared to other hotels we’ve stayed at in India). We’re British so this review should bear this in mind! The hotel was very quiet when we went as it’s just the start of the main season. There were only a few guests so the staff were exceptionally attentive to the point of being over attentive. It was uncomfortable at times especially when we had 4 members of staff around our table at dinner and were watched the whole time. Anyway, they asked us to write a review (more than once), so we’ve obliged.

It is impossible to describe the delight I felt on seeing this 1928 heritage English Countryside cottage hidden within the Raisen orchards, next to the mighty Beas. There are 5 rooms within the house, all exquisite with heritage furniture and all being different. The room on level 1 has a terrace in addition from where the sunrise can be beautifully seen (I was in this room). All rooms (2 suites) on the ground floor open out to the beautifully horticultured gardens. The orchards effectively hide 2 other cottages which are more recently built. This is essentially a luxury homestay experience and I must say that I was pampered as the solo guest here. Mr Om Thakur, the supervisor, Mr Subhash, the chef and Mr Jitendra, the caretaker, made it very special for me. I am making a list of the awesome himachali culinary experience that I had here and I recommend this to one and all. 1. Siddu with Walnut stuffing (this is homegrown delicious walnut) 2. Sepuvadi with Dahi 3. Aloo Chana madhra 4. Kangra kadhi 5. Kaddu ka Mentha 6. Kale chane ka khatta with paneer kachori 7. Chilladu 8. Patruda All the above was made from the vegetable gardens and orchards in the property. I would not do the property justice without describing the tree house. This was a dream! One climbed up the machan on a wooden staircase and it was a lovely experience, both during the day to just sit there, watch the roads and the Beas and sip tea and during the evening, watching the mountain lights. This experience was unforgettable. Mr Om Thakur was very courteous and kind. He accompanied me to a walk to the Beas river, about 1 km away, as well Om a small hike to the Durga temple on the hills at the backside of the country house through the orchards and the village. My lunch on the day trip to Manali was beautifully made, so much so that I couldn't eat much in Manali! Overall, an unforgettable experience!
