Really good Culinary Experience

During my stay, I was truly impressed by the food at the restaurant. The menu, while limited, offered delicious dishes that could be customized to suit my preferences. Each meal was a good experience, making it one of the best dining experiences I've had in Gulmarg.

Comfortable and Cozy Rooms

The room I stayed in was beautifully decorated with wooden paneling and featured a traditional Kashmiri wood-burning Bukhari. The size of the room was impressive, and I especially appreciated the heater and hot water availability during the chilly weather. It provided an ideal environment for relaxation after a day in the snow.

Well-Appointed Bathrooms

I found the bathroom in my suite to be modern and well-maintained, featuring a heater that kept it cozy. It had all the essentials and made my experience even more comfortable, especially given the cold outside. It was a perfect sanctuary for post-skiing relaxation.

Charming Bedroom Ambiance

The bedroom was charming and spacious, complete with a fireplace that added to the cozy atmosphere. I loved the relaxing ambiance which made it feel like a true home away from home during our vacation in the beautiful surroundings.

This hotel really captures the charm of a bygone era with its stunning vintage decor and beautiful cottages. The staff is courteous, but the management seems a bit rigid, which detracts from the overall experience. The dining options are delicious, especially the Indian dishes, though the prices are on the higher side for average meals. While the property's beauty is undeniable, some basic amenities are lacking, making it hard to justify the price.
