Glen View Heritage Homestay

Hi, Based on our parameters of stay i.e. nearness to Mall road, wheelchair accessibility, open space and enough rooms to accommodate 3 couples, 2 kids and a toddler with maid, we finally zeroed down on Glen View cottage. Also which had a inhouse car parking. Cottage was spacious enough with huge drawing room with antique pool table where we often played and spent good time. The rooms have all the basic amenities and there was also a very beautiful bonfire area where we unwinded our day besides fire having barbeque veg snacks and dinner. On the wheelchair accessibility part after discussing with the owners they got the ramp made at the entrance and toilet in no time which is really appreciable. ***** with that their staff was courteous enough to assist me safely every now and then. But being a heritage property there were still few obstructions, but they can be managed. Overall it was a comfortable and good experience as we stayed here for 4 nights. It's a very well kept villa and the staff is always on duty to serve us with tea, coffee and excellent Indian food with some himachali delights. I would certainly recommend anyone visiting Shimla with family or group to consider Glen View Cottage as a good option to stay. Thanks!

They say that Nostalgia is a liar; well in that case; the experience that one gets @ Glen View Heritage at the forest hill road in Shimla is nothing short of a fairy tale! I Had the opportunity of staying with my family @ Glen View Heritage in Shimla over the past few days! The experience has been nothing short of exhilarating for us as a family that has lived our yesteryears in this town. While the Vohra family opens out their heritage home which happens to be one of the oldest yet well maintained structures in Shimla dating as far back as 1859; they have painstakingly renovated every nook and corner to offer the best in opulence and comfort that the industry yearns to offer; yet they’ve taken extra care to retain the grandeur of an era gone by. This for sure isn’t just another well curated home; it’s a genuine experience and it comes from passion and a true labour of love. The visual experience comes well matched with a very homely yet professional service staff that leaves no stone unturned in attending to every little need of the guest and the f&b is served with extra care taken for all dietary needs ensuring that one doesn’t miss home cooking yet feel pampered throughout one’s stay. The location is such on the forest hill road that while special permits ensure that the guest gets to land up right at the property smoothly; there is no traffic in sight within this VIP zone and the place is as green as one has seen Shimla say 40 years back. It’s a VIP zone with high security which comes by default as your neighbours are of the likes of the top Govt officials and their families including the Chief Minister of the State of Himachal Pradesh. This address, the quality of the home & the experience is second to none and for people that are keen to experience life in all its grandeur and the opulence of an era gone by; you don’t need to think twice- Glen View Heritage is the address to be at if planning a trip to Shimla; a place that remains the Queen of hill stations in the Subcontinent! Kudos to the hosts for coming up with an experience that not only takes one back in time; it does so with style that’s at par with the best in the industry; Worldwide!
