    A family trip to nainital

    jaya p.family

    Nice heritage house for a family or group at nainital. It's a home away from home. Very nice heritage house with a home-like feeling. The food served by the caretaker ganesh is very tasty and healthy. Though it is about 3-4 km away from the lake, it's a very nice place.

    Had a great stay at the dalhousie heritage cottage, nainital. It's a must stay property when you're in nainital. Perfect location with parking, all in-house amenities, 2 huge bedrooms with ultra king size beds, separate dining hall, kitchen, separate living area, 2 washrooms, apt heating equipments for the chilling winters. Away from the hustle bustle, yet very close to the mall road. The host and caretaker are amazing and will support you in every possible aspect. All in all book your stay here for the perfect heritage feel with all modern amenities. You will definitely have a relaxed and pleasing stay here.

    kangana a.loyalty-icon

    Loved our short stay at the cottage! the location is superb and the hosts are the sweetest people. The cottage is located about 20 mins away from the bustling nainital but you feel like you're a world away. If you're looking for a calm and serene stay in the natures lap this is the one to go with! the property is actually a 150 year old british residence which makes the experience all the more intriguing! it is in close proximity with a nice restaurant which makes it even more convenient. You can easily walk down to nainital and visit all the tourist spots. Shah uncle and the caretaker are very welcoming and helping!

    Kangna we are very pleased to note that you liked our homestay and thank you for the nice words. Actuall we want to give guests an experince of the british luxury and stay in nature's lap. Most of the people living in the plains have not experienced such stays, they have either seen it in movies or read about it. We are glad you liked the concept and will be always eager to welcome you and your family and friends in future.

    Comfortable and a memorable stay!

    sakshi k.

    This beautiful cottage was a comfortable home stay for families under one roof with spacious, clean rooms and washrooms. The host owner of the property made all the kind efforts to make our stay wonderful and memorable one! ayar jungle resort next to this property (owned by the same host) is an added advantage in terms of great restaurant, adventure activities and hospitality! we definitely had a fantastic time here and look forward to visit again as it's away from the chaos of mall road and amid-st the nature.
