Property Description:

As soon as you arrive at The Secret Cottage, you will feel you have escaped to a slower pace of life in a quintessentially hill house that oozes character and is nestled next to the main house. This independent attractive stone cottage brings together the old country character with all the modern amenities. It caters exclusively for those in search of peace and tranquillity. The rural location of the cottage makes this the ideal holiday retreat for a family wanting to spend quality time together surrounded by Plum, Cherry, Pomegranate, Peach and Almond trees. The cottage is superbly finished with fantastic open views and a small private garden for relaxing or al-fresco eating

Accommodation Description:

From the car parking area there are a few stone steps to the small private garden and then a few more steps to the cottage. The property provides spacious accommodation over two floors: Ground Floor: » Fully equipped kitchen with gas hob, microwave and fridge» Large living room with TV & DVD player» Dining area with a dining table and chairs» A powder room with WC and basin First Floor:» Two spacious bedrooms with en-suite bathroom and shower » A 'Sun-Room' that has glass walls on two sides providing open views and protection on cold, windy or rainy days» A compact but utilitarian balcony for that breath of fresh Himalayan air, drinking morning tea while catching the first rays of the sun or enjoying sundowners in the evening. The cottage is furnished with traditional style furniture that complements the character of the house. All bed linen and towels are provided. By prior arrangement, our house staff will be happy to cook you a meal on request (charged extra).

Location:

The Secret Cottage is located in the Himalayan village of Bandrol, eight kms ahead of Kullu, on the way to Manali, on NH21. The Secret Cottage overlooks the river Beas and is conveniently located to travel and explore the 'Valley of Gods'. Manali is a 45 minutes drive and Kullu, with all its shops and amenities, is only 15 minutes away.
