The Country Yard

Good location in a safe, quiet local neighborhood, a 15-minute walk to the lake road with some restaurants on the way. Lok and the entire staff were super friendly and helpful, even waiting at the airport to greet me when my flight was 2 hours late! The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. I especially loved drinking my morning tea on the balcony and watching the activity in the neighborhood. A big bonus is that The Country Yard has a battery backup system which keeps some of your lights on when the electricity goes out (a daily ocurrance in Pokhara). They also offer a reasonably-priced laundry service which was convenient.

A rarely got hot water in my afternoon and evening showers, but I suspect it's better in the mornings. Also the wifi wasn't very reliable but maybe it was just a temporary or neighborhood thing, and hopefully it's better by the time you read this.
