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.
