The Sparrow Room
Our cosiest corner — a snug ground-floor room in the left wing, where the morning light pours in first. Small, warm and easy to settle into, named for the cheerful sparrow of the courtyard.

The washrooms
Two shared bathrooms — set apart, and spotless
Kept apart by choice — not a limitation
True to a genuine old Kumaoni home, the washrooms are shared and set a little apart from the bedrooms — not attached. We could easily have attached a bathroom to every room; we chose to keep it this way, on purpose — it preserves the character and rhythm of the old house. There are two full bath-and-toilet washrooms on the first floor, and what's rare is how they're kept: spotless, modern-tiled and properly hygienic, with 24×7 hot water from the geyser. The authenticity of the old way, without giving up on cleanliness.
