“For one night only.....”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 December 2011

We stayed here for one night, I really wouldn't have wanted it to be longer. We had a room at the back that DIDN'T have a valley/river view. Instead we looked out over the car park which meant that we were woken very early in the morning by folks setting off for the next part of their journey. The room smelled of sewage and when we mentioned this we were merely told to plug the air freshener in. The combination of sewage and air freshener was unbearable. The bed was rock hard, but I slept OK as I was so tired from the day's sightseeing.
The food was the usual Bhutan servings, which we came to dread - blander than bland. Service was friendly but extremely slow and all the lights were switched off in the restaurant at about 8.45pm, which meant we couldn't even sit and have a drink and write our travel diary. Again, everywhere in Bhutan was like this...
As for the wonderful owner..... we certainly didn't meet her. I was glad to leave.

Room Tip: Whatever you do, avoid the rooms at the back, facing the car park.

“Discovery of a bliss that is a plenum”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2011

Had lunch and break at Punatsangchhu Cottages in a December forenoon during journey back to Thimphu. The location opened up like a discovery : quiet and abundant in vitality. My dining table brinked on the green lawn descending to the rippling blue river. I was purified by the golden sunlight and the mountain air playing all the time around. The food was good and homely. The serving attenants exuded a warm simplicity that created the atmosphere of a family. Ms Tshering, the owner and the overseeing conductor, evoked my gratitude with her farewell greeting. I wish to re-visit Wangdue and pass blissful time in the premises of the Cottages. It placed me in a fulfilment that awaits nothing more without being stagnant.

“What you get used to Bhutan”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2011

Stayed here two different times over the course of a 17-day trip through Bhutan. It was perfectly adequate, and what you eventually come to expect from Bhutanese accommodation: decent bed, faulty shower, bland buffet food (with breakfast less thrilling than dinner), earnest service. TV and Wi-Fi didn't work during my second visit.

“A most memorable experience.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 November 2011

Our stay in a beautiful riverside room at Punatsangchhu Cottages was majestic. The accommodations were very roomy, clean and comfortable. Ms.Tshering was the most gracious, hands-on proprietor we have met. Her warmth and generosity gave us insight into the wonderful spirit and pride of the Bhutanese people. We hope we can return.

Room Tip: I recommend a room on the second floor with a balcony facing the river, if you would enjoy the sound...
