Books, Bonfires And Breathtaking Views At The Woodhouse
Whenever life gets a little busy and stressful, my mind spontaneously drifts to thoughts of snow-capped mountains, far away from the chaos of a big city. Swaying to the tunes of a Yashraj classic, walking in lush orchards, unwinding with a view of candy clouds, curling up in a corner with a good book and a bonfire to keep me warm–mountain holidays are always just that little bit extra special. In good news for my mountain air-starved heart, summer is around the corner which means that the time for a hill holiday is ripe. And we know just the place for a tranquil getaway.
Nestled in Satoli Village about 45 km away from the city of Nainital is The Woodhouse Farm. The serene property is surrounded by traditional village houses and a breathtaking view of snow clad Himalayas making it the picture perfect holiday of your dreams. After a long day of trekking, you can relax with a calming view of the ever-changing clouds through a crafted collage of windows, and marvel at the starry night sky spectacle that will be etched in your memory forever. If staying in and recharging is more your speed, the house has a huge collection of books and board games to keep you engaged.
Done up with contemporary furniture, The Woodhouse has five bedrooms and a garden that offers spectacular views of orchards and the town of Almora. Soak in the natural light, as you feast on some home-style Kumaoni food and recover from a hectic week at work in the comfort of luxury. While pictures don’t do justice to this hidden residence, they will still convince you that mountains are calling and you must go. Scroll on for a sneak-peek.
