The most serene place ever! Everyone was so welcoming and accommodating. The food and service was excellent. I wish I had more time here. A must... read more to visit as part of the journey through this beautiful country!

  We were greeted at the front gate by the GM and her staff. The staff sang a welcome song as we entered. This was followed by complimentary hot spiced apple... read more tea (made from local apples) and a shoulder massage as we took in the spectacular views down the Gangtey Valley. It only got better from there! Our room/suite was spacious and had an outstanding view. At night they put water bottles in our bed. The bottles were covered by woollen slips and remained warm for quite some time. A special selection of Halloween sweets also magically appeared while we were having a massage and hot rock treatment. We had the massage/hot rock bath before dinner. The massage was wonderful. The bath was a totally new experience for us. A wooden tub filled with springwater. The water is heated with particular rocks which are placed on a fire for a couple of hours and then added to the end of the tub. The water steams and bubbles as the rocks are carefully transferred from the fire pit to the tub. So relaxing! Dinner was a la carte. A selection of homemade breads arrived at the table. For the main we had the mushroom risotto and it was very good. Breakfast the next day also offered a selection and once again was beautifully presented and very tasty. We left with the impression that this is a very peaceful, happy, community minded establishment... We were greeted at the front gate by the GM and her staff.
