We stayed for one night at Lymond House but it was absolutely lovely. The Bungalow is relaxed and has a beautiful colonial and vintage feeling to it. Our hostess Anita was very gracious and always on her toes to make sure everyone is the House was comfortable. We stayed in Grace suite which opened infront of a beautiful garden. The... More

We stayed for two nights in early April 2013 here at Lymond House. Right from the beginning it was a pleasure to deal with Ambareen via email to book this short stay. This is a very relaxed place with it seems no formality what so ever. The property itself is very well kept as are the gardens, the room was... More

Excellent property to be on, well maintained heritage banglow , been there with the family for a week almost all rooms taken-up that gave complete property for us to be in. Good food, good friendly staff. Nice place to be in cozy and comfortable. Little improvement in the service part is called for. Beautiful....

The suites feel like you have your own little house nestled high above the hustle and bustle. The rooms are spacious and clean. The food is delicious. The service is not all that quick, but it is quick for India. There is a garden view from the sunroom which is delightful. I went to Fern hill Palace first and inspected... More

This was just what we were looking for! An old colonial house in a lovely garden. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay for three nights. The room was old style but comfortable. We were next to a lounge room where we sat in front of a fire for dinner on two nights. Breakfast was in a conservatory where the morning sun... More

Went with friends for a quiet dinner last night at Lymond House. The dining room felt like we had stepped back in time to a British home during the time of the Raj. Looking out through the huge glass windows at the artfully lit trees, shrubs and lawn, made us really appreciate the cosy atmosphere that we were sitting in.... More

Really beautiful house where you can imagine yourself back in the times of the Raj. Large airy rooms, comfy beds and gorgeous place - wood panelled rooms, wide beamed floorboards, antique furniture .... Stacks of character. When the temperature drops low in the evening then the staff light the roaring fires (including the one in your own room's fireplace if... More

We stayed here for 2 nights in January 2013. There are only 6 or so rooms, each with their own cozy feel and with fire places. Anita the manager is a knowledgeable and helpful and runs a tight ship. Joe and Josie offer immaculate service. The best part of our stay was the tour of the surrounding countryside by Torthas,... More

Curiosity led us to the front door of this charming guest house a short distance from The Savoy. Firstly we were enchanted by the garden, and probing further discovered that it was possible to have a room the following night. We were lucky to get the Isis suite in the garden - old world setting - big really comfortable bed,... More
