The Brigadiers Cottage, Mussoorie

We stayed at The Brigadier’s Cottage for 4 days in April, and our stay exceeded our expectations in every way. The biggest advantage of this place is its location. It is just 30 minutes from Mussoorie’s Mall Road and is very close to the famed Kempty Falls. It is away from the hustle and bustle of Mussoorie, yet accessible to all major tourist spots in the city. The owners are very friendly and ready to help out with anything you may need, including suggesting plans and excursions for the day. The rooms are well-designed, and they look exactly the same as the photos shown on their website. What you see is what you get. The views from the balcony are absolutely gorgeous. We enjoyed sipping a hot beverage in the morning while taking in the lovely views. The bathrooms are well-equipped with all the toiletries you could possibly need. The rooms are spacious and have enough charging points for your phones and iPads. The owners have pet dogs as well as geese, cows, and a hen coop on the property, and my toddler enjoyed playing with the dogs here. This is a pet-friendly place, so you can bring your own pets as well. We had our breakfast and dinner here, and the meals were lovely. Keep in mind that this is a homestay and do not expect a five-star spread, but we found the options and variety to be more than adequate. We had four dinners here, and nothing was repetitive. The food itself was delicious. They also provide limited evening snacks on an à la carte basis, and we tried and liked all of them. Finally, the staff is incredibly helpful, and all of them are incredibly responsive to whatever you may need. We coordinated with Ravi, and no request was too big for him. He always ***aged to deliver with a smile on his face. If you are looking for a five-star hotel, this might not be the place for you. But if you are looking for a luxurious homestay with lovely views and pets as your friends, I would highly recommend The Brigadier’s Cottage.

Perfect place to stay in Mussoorie, if you want to enjoy your vacation away from hustle and bustle of city life. Staff who work here were extremely cordial; anything we needed was a call away. Our 8 years old daughter enjoyed a lot and was extremely happy to stay here; she found new friends and thoroughly enjoyed the place. We would love to come back here again.

We were there for 3 nights and are delighted to share this feedback. Location is peaceful, quiet and serene. Just walking distance from kempty falls and we could really hear the sound of water flowing nearby. The room and property is as visible in pictures here, we were in luxury room and it was very comfortable and beautifully done. Our hosts were amazingly friendly and warm, thanks much to Neetu and Aseem for ensuring every little detail of our stay was as per our preference. Much thanks to the cook who took pains to provide 1 portion without chillies in every meal.

We stayed at The Brigadier's Cottage for 2 nights as a family of three. It is a lovely homestay run by a very warm and fun-loving couple - Neetu and Aseem Varma. The property is at a stunning location, in the midst of hills and one can hear a brook flowing nearby. The Varmas, ***** with their staff take excellent care of you - right from the comfortable rooms, to the adorable animals (special mention to their lovable pet dogs Chichi and Chia), to the delicious food served with love. I also highly recommend a trek to the village nearby called Sainji, where one can explore the remote beauty and enjoy the friendliness of the people there. All in all, a very wholesome experience, filled with great memories for our family. I can safely say that we will return there soon, and often!

Superb Hospitality ‘ Death by Eating’ This is the only title I can think of for a most amazing and warm hearted hospitality of owners Aseem & Neetu and their very caring staff. Food is great. Aseem comes from hospitality background and his ( & therefore his staff’s ) attention to detailing is immense. We stayed as a group of 8 colleagues for a brainstorming and planning session and since a wing had 4 rooms so the entire wing and its lounge was for us. Each one of was delighted with cozy comfortable, well appointed, warm rooms in extreme winters, (outside temperature was 2 degrees). Breakfast, Hi-tea and dinner with the snacks spread was meticulously planned and overwhelmingly served. On the second night, there were so ***y offerings in high tea and evening starters, that I could not even dare to pick up the plate for dinner. If one wishes to spend cozy comfortable time doing nothing or wish to visit sanjhi village nearby, enjoy kempty track and a day trip to Landour or Mall Road, Mussoorie it’s a great place to be at. Coming with own vehicle is preferred for mobility as the place is away from the chaotic heart of Mussoorie City.

This place is for the people who are tired of the city life and want to experience Mussoorie away from the regular tourist crowd. The property is well maintained and the rooms are very spacious and aesthetic. The entire property has a view overlooking the mountains which are still untouched. The hosts are very cordial and helpful and the service is A1. The food is of excellent quality and quite delicious. Would definitely visit again with a larger group!

I went with my cousins and we were all girls only, still we felt like we were with entire family. Had a blast staying over there. Superb accommodation and great service. Best thing is its location and the view from the rooms

Our stay in Brigadier's cottage was a great experience right in the midst of nature. Host Neetu and Aseem are wonderful people. They are ***aging this property like the piece of their heart. The staff here is very polite and took very good care of everything. The food served here is so yummy. My kids enjoyed barbeque and bonfire organised by Aseem on special request. Highly recommend this place and would love to stay here again whenever I will visit Mussoorie.

Beautiful property, good food, wonderful hosts, quiet and peaceful, some really nice places near the property…..what more could one ask for ? Loved our stay at this place. Will definitely be back again
