When hospitality meets home—that's how I would describe my four-day stay at Cedar Castle. The room was true to its picture: spacious, with a beautiful valley view. But is that all you need? You need personalization—and that’s exactly what Cedar Castle offers.
We arrived at the property around 5:30 p.m. The manager, Bharat, welcomed us warmly. Understanding we were too tired, he brought the register to our room and completed the check-in process there, offering us chai and bread toast for my four-year-old daughter. Afterward, he suggested a short walk to Sunset Point since it was too late to drive around in the hills.
At dinner, we were greeted by the owners, Mr. Harish and Mrs. Nilu Chawla, who chatted with us and asked about our drive. I forgot to mention—they even called us during our journey to help guide us to the property.
There were many young children at the property, and Mrs. Chawla personally interacted with each one, making sure they had something they liked to eat—even a simple dal and rice if needed. When the kids played in the outdoor area, a staff member always kept an eye on them. This wasn’t a one-time thing—I saw the same care during breakfast and dinner each day.
Mrs. Nilu knows the area so well; she helped us plan our outings, recommending where to go, what to see, where to eat, and what local dishes to try. On our last day, we were treated to an amazing Kumaoni meal.
Ask me if I’ll visit again—and trust me, my four-year-old daughter has already promised that she would!
