“12 Teas in 3 Days”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

What a lovely gem on the outskirts of Darjeeling. After 3 weeks of the noise, honking, and cow pie dodging we were thrilled to have found a little piece of heaven for a few days. My husband is a tea drinker and when he saw the tea menu he immediately picked 12 cups he needed to try before we left. Needless to say we did a lot of tea drinking while staying here. Laltu the tea maestro was absolutely amazing and very open to sharing his tea skills with us. We practically lived in the restaurant devouring our very tasty meals and talking tea with Laltu. The room we had was very spacious. The one thing that could use fixing is the shower. There is a on demand water heater which is lovely but only a trickle of water coming out of the shower head. We ended up filling the bucket up and using that method which worked just fine. There is a big display of books you can read while lounging around the property.

“GREAT PLACE FOR A QUIET & ENJOYABLE HOLIDAY”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 November 2011

We had a great time at Cochrane Place because of the view from our room " Kachenjunga", very cordial staff and the good food served, besides, the herbal tea which is a MUST . Hiccups because of telephone lines not working did happen( in order to pay by card ), but I understood later that the place they get it done outside is Very Safe. The Owners are very gracious people and the delay in the refund ( which was made a few days later was due to a different account , which I misunderstood ). We have planned to visit again during late October /early November next year. Iam very sure anyone who visits Cochrane Place will not only have a memorable stay, but the memory will linger on..

Room Tip: " Kanchenjunga Room" which was alloted to us as we were four people was simply great. On...

“Mixed Feeling !”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2011

Took my family for the first time to Cochrane Place as we had heard about it from a friend who visited it last year from the US.Was there for three nights. The Hotel tried to showcase the past in their own way, but the original building was brought down and a copy of the past was remade. However, the views are good and we had a comfortable & peaceful holiday, which we were looking forward to. The downside is that the landline does not work most of the time and the Manager would offer to take you to the Kurseong Bazar to get your credit card swiped. I was not agreeable to get my card swiped n an inknown place as they download your card details. Beware of this problem. Secondly, we paid our last bill in a hurry for breakfast etc as we were checking out, and by mistake they had attached someone else's bill as well, which got paid. I had detected it and phoned Mr Ravinder, Manager, from the car and pointed out the details. He promised to look into it and reimburse me soon. I sent an email reminding him after 2 weeks. Well, it is over a month now and the paltry sum of Rs 259/- did not get reimbursed. So, beware to check your bills carefully before paying, as they do not return funds.

Room Tip: Try the Kanchenjunga Room where we stayed as it sleeps 4 adults and has an excellent view of the val...
