We have got a super clean room with an amazing view it was very quiet and peacful at night Service was amazing, all requirements delivered promptly.

    The cottage was beautiful, wooden ceiling and walls with attractive creative design, the bed was warm and comfortable and the hosts charming, respectful, discrete and very quick to follow up on any request! Location is central to pedestrian centre of Shimla, so there are no traffic noises. It has been a very happy week for me here and I'm grateful to find a beautiful, peaceful retreat for my final week in India with such kind, considerate hosts.

    1. Location was perfect as it was near The Mall Road, so a traveler can just walk uphill to reach Lakkar Bazaar, The Ridge, Mall road and then do all the heritage walks. 2. Since it is a 4 BHK home, it creates homely atmosphere for the ones who stay. People become friends and even cook together. People who love cats will be wow-ed with an extremely friendly cat :) who is always around. 3. Interiors are good and cosy. Collections of books is also nice.
