Rokeby Manor

Quaint with an old world charm. Friendly staff, great views and books. Their Bakehouse has delicious stuff. Their nighttime chocolates are a treat and help you sleep well. Be sure to go for a run or a walk or you could put on some calories before you know it.

These little gems in the mountains are worth visiting …. We stayed for 4 nights at this beautiful property by Rokeby - Bothwell villa A two bedroom cottage with a drawing room n kitchen n dinning n butler service overlooking the mountains with simply gorgeous views ! Strongly recommend atleast 4 nights Bakehouse is a 2 min walk from the villa The main property is 7/10 min walk from the villa with a lovely restaurant … Would suggest good walking shoes n morning walks - cold crisp mountain air n gorgeous views of lower Himalayas Dine at their restaurant Emily Carry good music n book ! N switch off .. It’s a beautifully located property in Landour A must visit One tip - If in Landour .. stay put in Landour to enjoy the quietness n peace instead of running to Mussoorie n getting stuck in traffic As Hills are no more Hills ! Sadly ruined by haphazard construction loud music n congestion…. That’s why this property is - A little peace of heaven .. go before it’s late

Rokeby Manor, Landour Beautiful Views, but Disappointing Value. Overhyped and overpriced. We stayed at the Pine Tree Lodge, one of Rokeby Manor's villas. While the stunning views and warm service from the butler and in-house chef were definite highlights, the overall experience fell far short of expectations, particularly given the steep prices (about US$ 750 per night, accommodating four adults). Pros: The views from the villa are breathtaking, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The staff are warm, efficient, and attentive. The in-house butler, Arjun, and the chef, Vikram, were very kind. The beds were comfortable, and dining at Emily’s offered a cozy ambience with tasty food over breakfast. Having an in-house chef was a nice touch, considering how far we were from the main building, Rokeby Manor. You need to give him about a couple of hours notice of what you want to eat from the menu. Cons: Accessibility is a major issue. The villa is accessed via rickety stone steps, making it unsuitable for elderly or disabled guests. If we had known, we would not have brought elderly parents, it made it very difficult for them. The Pine Tree Lodge is located about 1km from the main Rokeby complex, which was not clearly noted on the website. Food had to be ordered from the main building, and it arrived cold (e.g., the high tea). The Himalayan high tea is nothing to write home about, please skip. The baked items are not up to standard. The bedrooms and bathrooms lack luxury—shower curtains instead of cabin, for example. And, a tin roof. Again, it would be fine for a regular Airbnb but not at the cost that Rokeby Manor charges for this villa. In winter, inadequate heating. AC blowers fail to make the space warm and cozy in winter; oil heaters would be more appropriate. The bonfire is chargeable, and the fireplace in the villa was non-functional. So, bring your own extra woolens to also wear indoors. Bottomline - the steep rates do not justify the experience; it’s certainly not value for money. We have stayed in many luxury hotels which are expensive but offer matching comfort and luxury. This Rokeby Manor villa does not match up to any international standards. While the property certainly has its charm, the logistical challenges, lack of clarity, and underwhelming amenities make it a disappointing experience.

The ride up was a little harrowing but Prakash, one of Rokeby's drivers, did a terrific job manouvering the narrow lanes from the airport to the hotel. Highly suggest booking a hotel car for the in- and out- trip, the cars are clean and drivers know their way around. My cozy room 12 and the view of the unique winterline and the evening sun was awesome! (see pic) The food at Emily's consistently hit the spot - grilled fish, ratatouille, sticky toffee pudding, the breads, eggs, baked beans and french toasts. It was great to meet chef Mahesh Bisht, and I will certainly be back just to enjoy his cooking. Finally, the little touches were awesome - the hot water bag in the evening turn-down service, the heater in the bathroom, the neat shower curtain, the bedside light. My standards and high, but I was impressed. Without a doubt, this is one of the best hotel experiences I've had anywhere in the world. Keep up the great work, Team Rokeby!
