I came here with my wife and 6-year-old son and we all really enjoyed the stay. We booked the Danish Imperial Room with a balcony — it had lovely old-style wooden furniture and a clear view of the trees. It was so quiet in the mornings, you could hear the birds! One thing I really appreciated was how thoughtful the staff was. Mohan arranged warm milk for our son at night, and even had the room heated before we arrived. On our last day, he surprised us with a small snack pack for our journey back to Chandigarh. These small things made the stay feel very personal and warm. If you're visiting Shimla with family and want something peaceful but still close to the city, this is a great pick.

Nothinh\g much

I visited with three friends and we had such a great weekend here! The rooms were warm and neat, with lovely wooden interiors. We had two rooms next to each other which made it easy to hang out together. Evenings were so much fun — they lit up the bonfire for us, and we ordered tandoori snacks that were seriously delicious. After dinner, we sat inside the restaurant and played carrom and Uno while sipping masala chai. The staff was very friendly and gave us extra blankets and water bottles without even asking. It felt more like a mountain homestay than a hotel — calm, cozy, and full of good vibes.

All Good

We visited with our kids and parents, and this resort made our trip super smooth. The Scottish Villa Rooms were cozy, had beautiful wood furniture, and overlooked a quiet garden. The hotel arranged a lovely nature walk, and we ended our days with board games and hot meals around a bonfire. The rooftop restaurant also had great views and hearty Indian meals. Pros: Family-friendly, great food, helpful staff, antique interiors, comfortable beds, heating provided. What we loved: Personal attention to detail and the peaceful vibe — felt like home in the hills.

Nothing Much. City at a bit of a distance

This is Heritage property located near HP Vidhan Sabha. It is pet friendly (Saw other guests with their pets). Rooms are big, Hot water was available through out. Location is slightly far from ridge but if you are looking for peace, tranquility and serenity with nature then this is the place. It is nestled in nature away from hustle and bustle. Car can be brought to the property with ample parking space. Food was good and staff was friendly.

Maintenance of property is lacking. It is requires maintenance owner should consider upgrading keeping in mind it’s heritage look and history. To reach Vidhan Bhavan it is pretty steep up hill of 350 meters

Beautiful property amidst the serenity of Shimla. The location of the resort is away from the hustle of the town, still proximate to Mall road. The rooms are maintained as a heritage with all the modern amenities. I had stayed in the British cottage and can't really express the pride. There are other cottages too and one can chose as per the budget. If you are coming with your family, I would advise British or Scottish one. The restaurant is decent with space outside to enjoy your meals amidst the beautiful weather and surroundings. Top notch I would say. The meals are tasty. I specially liked the Chinese and I can vouch it's outstanding. There are enough space for parking and the road is also accessible. They also help you with cabs if you need that. The staff are all well trained and behaved. I got the chance to meet the owner, Mr. Goel, and must confess he is one really modest and welcoming. The best part is that the owner stays in the property itself. And Yes, its a pet friendly resort 😁 Overall, a great experience for someone with aesthetic sense and want to enjoy Shimla at its best !!

Well, let me tell you about it, it's deep down in the heart of forest, definitely not for you if you're not a skilled driver, but wait, give them a call before you try to land , they'll assist you, they will literally send their drivers up to bring your vehicle down if you can't, also they'll land it up, don't doubt the drivers, they are the best, coming to the staff, show them the respect they deserve and belive me they lay down their lives for you , "ji kaho ji keheleao", they literally would go out of the way to serve without any expectations.., their senior manager Mr. Dinesh is awesome, he knows the term hospitality really well, Mr Jatin, Mr Sachin and I am sorry I forgot the name of the gentleman driver , they will help you thoroughly, book them and you'll not regret, it's pet friendly and their St.Bernard(doggo), Mr. Marshall will guide to the trails, no fear of monkeys as the territory is well guided by the decent Langoors , go for it, don't be scared of the road, their assistance is upto the mark... Owner if the property Mr. Goel is a delightful person…always there to help you out. Pardon my typing errors..also I apologise for not mentioning MS.Teena, she’s like a pillar to this establishment

Curtains, yes the curtains needs to be changed but again it's a work in progress...

Travelling with our golden retriever Bruno, we stayed in one of the Scottish Villa Rooms. The room had beautiful wooden flooring, antique chairs, and they had already turned on the heater before our arrival. In the evening, the staff set up a bonfire just for us in the garden and even served Bruno a bowl of rice and chicken! Teena made sure we had extra tea and board games brought to our table inside the restaurant while the cold wind picked up outside. Felt more like a home than a hotel.

Get your own dog Bowl!

The best part about Shimla British Resort is its prime location—situated in a nice forest, it offers a peaceful, secluded retreat. My favorite spot at the resort was the open space outside our Villa Rooms, where we had a nice evening Bornfire Night. The rooms were also well maintained, and the staff were incredibly attentive—perhaps even a bit too helpful at times! The daily breakfast was delicious, served in a stunning setting.

The road to the property is a bit steep, but motorable

We stayed at Shimla British Resort last weekend and absolutely loved the experience! The Scottish Villa Room had beautiful antique furniture and was so warm and cozy — a blessing in the chilly Shimla weather. Our evening ended with a peaceful bonfire under the stars and delicious tandoori snacks. The staff, especially Mohan and Cook Inderjeet, were incredibly polite and attentive. Can’t wait to return with friends!

OVERALL, A GOOD STAY

This resort is a hidden gem—pet friendly, peaceful, and beautifully maintained. The rooftop restaurant has the most amazing view, and the staff went above and beyond for us. Will definitely return!

It was a good experience overall. Friendly & accommodating staff for a peaceful vacation.
