CORBETT RIVER VIEW RETREAT

City: Corbett

Planning a trip to Corbett? Find a home away from home at the Corbett River View Retreat, a conglomeration of 2 and 3 bedroom cottages with a drawing room, dining room and a kitchen. With a paved pathway lined with pretty shrubs and young bamboo trees, the Corbett River View Retreat provides a homely retreat in the most beautiful surroundings.

Rooms
The cottages are a lavish modern establishment with beautiful interiors and user friendly facilities. Each bedroom in both the cottages ensures utter privacy, yet maintaining the joys of togetherness. All the bedrooms are complete with a master bed, satellite television, telephone, air conditioner, wardrobe, chairs and table and extra seating by the window. The walls are adorned with paintings of all sorts and full length mirrors. The attached bathrooms with every bedroom are compact and modern with moisturizer, soap, body gel and towels. The drawing room is pleasant with lots of cushions neatly arranged in an expanse of sofas and couches (big enough to accommodate a large group). An antique looking fireplace matched with a rocking chair and cane blinds add to the charm. The drawing room is an elevated space with sofas and designer chairs. The kitchen adjoining the dining room is modern too, with a refrigerator, gas stove, cabinets and utensils. If needed, the retreat also arranges for cooks at an added charge. Both the 2 Bedroom and 3 Bedroom cottages have all theses facilities, except the fact that the 2 bedroom cottage has 1 bedroom at the top floor and 1 on the ground floor, whereas the 3 Bedroom cottages have 2 bedrooms on the top floor and one at the ground. A small verandah stands prim with each cottage and the small lawn just adds to the homely atmosphere.

Dining
The hotel has the Gol Ghar Restaurant (for 40 people) somewhere in the centre of the property and serves Indian, Chinese, Continental and special South Indian cuisines. The room service throughout the hotel is rather a little too sharp, but I guess it makes up for the beautiful view inside the hotel. The hotel does not have a bar, but guests are free to get their on own alcohol for consumption.

Facilities
Like its rooms, the retreat lives up to its reputation when it comes to services. Apart from the daily housekeeping and laundry service, the retreat also offers car rental facilities, books railway tickets and organizes safari into the Corbett Tiger Forest Reserve at Dhikala, Bijrani and Jhirna at the rate of Rs. 502 per person. The retreat also organizes many river activities as well like river crossing, rappelling, trekking and paragliding in association with professional groups. Indoor games include a pool table, carom and volleyball.

Location
The Corbett River View Retreat is located on Garjia Road, some 11 kms away from Ramnagar, the nearest town. The railway station is also located here, about 11 kms away. The entrance to the forest in Bijrani is 7 kms away and Jhirna about 35 kms away.
