According to the Host, this ‘white stone walled’ muse, has been meticulously brought to life with ancient wood carved doors and windows, brightly painted walls and fresh flowers. With five guestrooms this home sits in a picturesque valley on 8 acres where a plethora of deer and birds roam freely.

Built on 8 acres of land of the erstwhile Vergamound Estate, ‘The Cottage’  property extends downhill in an orchard full of fruits, which has been reverted back into the forest, to keep the natural flora and fauna alive. It is easy to spot barking deer, birds and wild fowl who roam freely in the vicinity. Different levels to the house form a mysterious maze, transporting you from one ornate space to another.

Thoughtful gifts in the form of paintings from prestigious artistes and other visitors adorn the walls of the living room, keeping deeply formed associations alive.

The bathrooms, unarguably, are most creatively done with bright cheerful paintings of birds to make that marginal time one spends in the bathroom, most memorable.

A visit to the ivy clad Cottage is not complete without a walk down to the neighbouring tea shop with the three dogs accompanying you at heel. Spoken about with utmost reverence by the villagers, the oldest dog, Kallu Singh Ji, is often mistaken for a human being by most visitors.
