Guest Reviews
- Ashish (7/5): -
- Apurva (9/5): - Great location. Excellent breakfast. The Manager Mr Rai was quite helpful. The chef made us authentic and superb cuisine every evening.
- Bane (9/5): Amazing views - The location is great. A private house setting with just 8 rooms felt like a home away from home. Amazing views of kanchengunga from the hotel. Amazing
- Takashi (9/5): Wonderful - Good facility with super view, and Good staffs and coordination. -Enough supply of toilet paper
-Geyser
-Hot blanket controller
- Rashmi (10/5): - Very lovely place with amazing views and very good staff
- Pascale (10/5): -
- radhika shah (8/5): - Excellent facilities Could improve the breakfast spread
- Soumen (7/5): -
- Pallab (7/5): Great place to stay, provided you are willing to pay for the view - Very clean and extremely well maintained property with a Colonial touch. Rooms very cosy. Staff very helpful and well behaved. Basic breakfast provided. Quite a steep walk to the property that is difficult for the elderly or those with knee issues. Around 950m walk to get to the Mall.
- Mosale Raghuram (10/5): Most amazing stay in Darjeeling - Amazing Victorian style very exclusive lodge. Fabulous location with great mountain views, huge well kept rooms and excellent service by dedicated staff lead by Basant Rai. Nothing
- Donald (8/5): -
- Abhishek Kumar (10/5): -
- Kapil (10/5): -
- Saurabh (10/5): Homely, breathtaking and attention to personal needs ! - Excellent hosts and fantastic breakfast, with personal attention. The hosts' recommendations for location visits were on point. They even fixed and made appointments. Sharon took care of everything, including ordering food for us. Kitchenette utensils could have been better.
- Parikh (10/5): A perfect retreat. - We absolutely loved staying here. The English Cottage combines the best of a hotel and a homestay. Clean, elegant, cosy facilities, with a personal touch. Breakfast in this legendary Darjeeling family's own dining room is a real highlight, and they're full of wonderful suggestions and tips. The views of Kanchenjunga are spectacular!
- Callum (9/5): Superb - Amazing hosts! So friendly and helpful. They gave so many great recommendations for the town. Looked after us like we were family. The cottage is such a lovely place to stay, with great views and cosy rooms. Can't recommend enough.
- Sukanta (1/5): Bad -
- Sharmistha (9/5): Superb -
- Raviteja (9/5): Superb - I liked how everything was maintained in the stay. Neat and elegant. The breakfast service was excellent
- Pulkit (7/5): Good - Good location.
Well appointed, clean room.
Helpful staff Very strange setup of property - guests not allowed to use common indoor areas in property...dining area has common area, but all of it is off limits for guests apart from breakfast.
Its so strange - apart from breakfast, all other meals you have to take in your room, however many days you stay.
And unless you are going out, you have to be holed up in your room - indoor common area off limit for guests - so not a good place to plan a leisurely long family vacation
- Adhvaith (8/5): Very good -
- Rahul (8/5): Honest Feedback - -Room
- View
- Location - Bathroom
- Breakfast.
- Tariff was high.
- Tanima (10/5): We loved it and will be back sometime again - Superb view and aesthetically done up Nothing really
- Anindita (9/5): Lovely … intend to go back 😊 - It’s a very very beautiful property and really delightful hosts. The rooms were nice with great views from the deck. We didn’t need to go to Tiger Hill. What could make the stay perfect is availability of staff in the early hours.
- Parikhit (10/5): Old World Charm at Darjeeling - The English Cottage has to be the best place in Darjeeling! This was our second visit to the hill town and missing out on a booking the previous time, I booked this place well in advance having been mystified by the images and certainly the high praises. It exceeded our expectations-be it the breakfast, the comfortable rooms, and the home like feeling. The cherry on the cake is the uninterrupted view that you get of the Kanchenjunga range-we were blessed with good weather in the morning. I ought to mention the lovely breakfast conversation with Sanjeev and Sharon and the other guests there; watching the mountains, listening to anecdotes and realising the happy spread will remain etched in my memory. There is nothing that I can think of. The place was perfect.
- Josi (10/5): Well located and well equipped Darjeeling house - Very good place and excellent host.
- Andrea (5/5): Passable -
- Mainak (6/5): Please check on your cleanliness. Location is very good. - Need to work on the cleanliness. The property also need few touch-up here and there.
- Soumya (7/5): Good - The view from the patio was amazing A little more flexibility as far as services are concerned. Not being able to serve a cup of bed tea doesn't give a good feeling. In this era of customer service not being able to order or request for a cup of tea during the day and with faulty appliances in the room it didn't leave a good aftertaste.
- Poddar (9/5): Superb -
- Tridibesh (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful property !! Gives back the old charm and tranquility of Darjeeling and its nature... very relaxing stay... the room is very specious with exquisite infrastructure to enjoy the holiday break to the fullest... the open terrace is just amazing !! Great beeakfast !!
- Anoopa (10/5): Wonderful stay. Unfortunately couldn’t enjoy the gorgeous views because of the weather. Will return for that! - The delicious mouth watering breakfast! Steps so may not be easily for elderly people
- Arunes (10/5): Exceptional - The property itself and it's location Nothing
- Navneet (10/5): A hidden gem in Darjeeling. - Great property, amazing views, and incredible host!
- Hemant (7/5): Good - Good property, nice views, well maintained and very close to the centre. The owner gave me the better villa in order to get paid more not complimentary. Although property is great but very expensive (INR 40000 per night) once you include all the add ons (extra person, extra bed, taxes etc).
- Singh (10/5): Exceptional - The view and food was amazing Nothing
- Avishek (10/5): Exceptional -
- Abhay (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rohan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dipti (10/5): Perfect and a must! - Location stunning, views of Kanchenjunga!
Authentic, family feeling
Host Sharing went out of her way to make the stay according to our needs
We are vegan and she made us amazing breakfasts Nothing to say….nothing not to like!
- Maren (10/5): Pretty house with breathtaking views and outstanding hospitality - We really enjoyed our time at The English Cottage!! Would like to go again someday.
Pretty house with breathtaking views (especially for sunset), several terraces so you feel like being alone, very delicious and varied breakfast, lovely hosts who take care of everything (restaurant and bar recommendations, activities, hiking trips)!
Thank you very much for your outstanding hospitality
- Arka (1/5): Very bad experience. - Bad host
- Neelam (10/5): Beautiful and memorable - Beauty and structure and surrounding
- Manoj (10/5): Exceptional - Everything : the location, amenities,the staff and overall Shalla Madam the owner who made us feel at home.
She took care of us like her own children, even making sure that we did not miss our breakfast although we were leaving at 6:00 am !
Even the smallest of details were perfectly taken care of during our stay.
My sincere gratitude to Shalla Madam.
For any prospective travellers to Darjeeling our recommendation is to consider staying at the English Cottage and experience a fantastic hospitality.
We had stayed in the room 180 degree, which offered us the best views of the mountains including Kanchenjunga peak on a lucky morning. The sundeck offers views of Nepal on one side, mountains in front and Darjeeling on the other side ,all of this from the comforts of your bedroom.
My rating 5 stars plus .💐
- Massah (10/5): Exceptional -
- Saahil (9/5): Superb -
