    Bit difficult to access. Very steep road.

    A wonderful homestay, offering beautiful views of the Bhimtal lake. Spacious, clean, well equipped and comfortable rooms with beautiful balconies. Very very hospitable and friendly hostess and staff. Delicious home cooked meal.

    beautiful location & views unmatched away from the hustle. Staff is excellent & always ready to help. Food is fresh & very very good. You would not regret any penny spent over here. Host was warm & she even made a herbal drink for our child who was unwell during our stay at the property. all in all a great experience in the hills.

    Magpie was a home away from home. The rooms were clean, spacious and modern. Decor has been very pleasant. The place was green, clean, beautiful and truly in nature's lap. Neha, the owner, very sweet lady. Although we panned to stay for 4 days, but had to return after 2 days due to some urgency back home. Neha understood us and adjusted our request nicely. Property is superb with so much trees of fruits. The staffs (Mohit and team) were very hospitable, flexible and warm. Place has beautiful view of Bhimtal lake and mountain valleys. The place is perfect to spend time with family .Scenic view is fantastic. You can enjoy birds chirping when wake up in the morning.. This is a great place to relax and also conveniently located for adventures and site seeing. The location is a bit far from the main road, . A great stay for us and surely look forward to come back. Overall, We had a lovely stay.

    The location was a little interior in the hills and on the tab. Recommended to go by a car. going on foot would be very tiring. Food was fresh but we didn't find it tasty.

    The rooms were big, well ventilated and had an amazing view. The view was something I could sit all day and enjoy. The place was green, clean, beautiful and truly in nature's lap. The owner Neha and the staffs (Mohit and team) were very hospitable, flexible and warm. We requested for an extra heater and blankets and they did. We requested for an early checkin and they accommodated it. We requested for non veg dinner and they provided it. Overall, We had a lovely stay.

    It is quite a task to reach the location. But it is worth all the efforts. Mohit was kind enough to fetch us on the way. Limited food and beverage options. However, the breakfast is good enough to give your day a good start.

    It has an amazing view of Bhimtal from the hill. The rooms are well seperated from each other and are neatly decorated to give a pleasing experience. Spacious rooms with balcony and ample of seating. Good staff. Mohit is really helpful, welcoming and accommodating. I loved the art collection by Neha and the small book collection in the dining room. The beautiful gardens are cherry on top.

This cottage fully provides with your mee time and privacy , the staff Mr. Mohit and the caretakers are really are fully skilled. The best thing about Magpie is its ultra delicious food and the stand of living, my experience was just ultimate.

    The property is at a very very steep height and we burnt our car tires while driving uphill. Please be careful about this point. Also, it's located so much uphill that coming down for a stroll to the lake won't be possible for you. The hotel description doesn't specify this point.

    The room was beautiful and the ambience of the place is just awesome. There is so much greenery, flowering plants, lil succulents around with birds chirping. Our room was facing the bhimtal river so the scenary was pretty amazing. The food was also well prepared and was just like home (non greasy/oily). I was traveling with old parents and wanted to ensure they have a peaceful and quiet stay with healthy food. The staff ensured all of this.
