The location of the property is breathtaking, you'd get a great view from the rooms, the lawn as well as the terrace. The highlight of our stay was om prakash (the caretaker) who takes his job extremely seriously and treated us like vips, no less. Not to mention that he's a great cook too. The only problem is the price which the property does not justify. We paid for the entire villa (two nights) and the bathrooms were extremely uncomfortable. Everything was old and needed renovation. The wooden cabinets were rotten with fungus, the taps and sinks were leaking, and the toilet seat itself seemed to be from 20 years ago. This was a major setback since the majority of us were senior citizens. Another setback was that our driver was not even allowed into the servant quarters (every homestay and hotel we've been to before this had dedicated resting areas for drivers) with the temperature low of 9 degrees at night where he was forced to sleep outside in the car. , it's a good place because of its location and scenic beauty. I'd suggest booking both the rooms (if they decide to lower their prices) if you're travel-ling with family so you'd get the entire villa to yourselves. For anything more than per room, i would suggest going somewhere else.

Thank you harsh-it for reviewing us and appreciating our location, staff, food and hospitality. We are a little surprised with the rest of the review as i kept calling to check if everything is ok and you mentioned it was perfect. Infact we have our whatās app communication too which says the same. We take your feedback on value for money and will revisit our price structure if itās required. We havenāt received any review on quality of washrooms before, and also do periodic supervision of facilities, however, we take every feedback seriously and will check on the points you mentioned. About the driver, we donāt allow them in staff quarters due to security as we have faced some issues before with the drivers. Also, the driver issue was never told to us. We did provide meals for driver at very nominal charge. We sincerely would have appreciated if you had mentioned these issues so that we could have addressed them. A issue that is not shared / communicated cannot be resolved. This review comes as a total surprise but we will take it in a constructive way. Thank you for your feedback.
