We had booked 5 days stay at this magnificent colonial building full of decorated pictures of old times. The stall was very friendly and one of the managers was recently transferred from Almora Resort. They cooked special for us. When pressed hard to name any favorite dish, we just named 'Kathal' and next day a delicious Kathal Curry was served. The Cheff deserved a handsome top and we were glad to offer.
