This is one of the most amazing places I've ever stayed and can't recommend it enough to anyone who appreciates feeling the personality and history of a home shine through its every nook. The house is large enough to accommodate big groups (we were many!) and there is plenty of bedding, towels and atmosphere to keep everyone comfortable and very happy. Due to the stormy weather we ended up spending a pretty large portion of our 5-day trip inside, and although it was unfortunate to be limited by 3 (three!) named storms that billowed through our holiday, I can't imagine a better place to be stuck indoors. You really have to experience this unique building and adjoining site to understand the beauty of the thoughtful craftsmanship found anywhere your gaze lands here. We were all astounded by this place.
Shivam was also a generous and warm host - from his excellent communication, to the various accommodations he made for us (a few of us needed to stay somewhere for an extra night as our travel home was delayed due to the storm and he kindly welcomed us to stay for a very fair price and without hesitation), and the spectacular meal he and his team made for our group (an incredible 4-course Indian feast, which was a true luxury), he really couldn't have made us feel more welcome. We also had access to the sauna, and although I personally didn't find a chance to experience it, many of our group thoroughly enjoyed it.
I could write so much more, all of it glowing, but I'll leave some of the magic to be experienced without prior expectation. I will just finish by repeating my huge thanks to Shivam, as well as Matthew, James, and Elliott, for making this a truly wonderful experience. I know I speak for all of our group in saying how much we enjoyed our (very) long weekend with you, and can't wait to return again in the near future - hopefully with some slightly better weather!
