Having been let down by another B & B in Delhi, we booked at the very last minute - literally as we walked out of our home in Cornwall, UK. But, everything ran very smoothly. We were picked up at the airport as arranged and driven safely to Chhoti Haveli.

We were greeted by Surinder and Thapa. After a lovely , lovely cup of tea and a rest, Surinder helped us with our plans of how to get around Delhi and see all we'd planned to see.

We stayed for four nights and found our room clean, comfortable and all round very pleasant with toiletries, towels, hot shower and a heater (Delhi in January can be quite cold).
I would say the property is very secure, there is security at the entrance of Sector A pocket A and there appears to be someone around to make sure all your needs are met.
In true Indian hospitality - there are no set rules for breakfast - If your leaving at 5.30 in the morning you get breakfast, likewise if you need a lie in you'll still get breakfast being offered a choice of Indian or European the night before - and very good it is too! Thanks Thapa.
We knew that we wanted to do the 'Golden Triangle'. Surinder helped us with this, arranging a driver and suggesting accommodation in Jaipur (which was excellent), we found our own accommodation in Agra which probably wouldn't have been up to Surinder's high standards but it was very cheap (600 rupee's for the room), and with an added bonus of being a stone's throw from the Taj Mahal - so it served our purpose very well. Prior to this we had been drawn into one of the government tourist office's where we had been quoted £425 for this trip for 2 persons. I haven't worked it out but I'm sure that we paid less than half this amount , making a great saving - I'm sure, it could have been much cheaper if we'd traveled by train - but, time didn't permit this - next time, maybe........

I felt very safe with our driver Charon, although my husband was gripping the seat at times on the road from Jaipur, back to Delhi ( recently, featured on The Christmas special - 'Top Gear' - and I think Jeremy Clarkson was gripping his steering wheel too). Although Charon didn't speak a great deal of English we were always taken where we wanted to go, and we could make ourselves understood. I asked him if we could find a shop to buy a present which a friend had requested - a tiffin tin . He looked around and stopped at a shop which had fixed prices - 114 rupee's . I was very impressed, and our friend was delighted with his gift.

We returned back to Chhorti Haveli for another nights stay and an early morning flight to Goa, booking for our last night on return from Goa before our flight home to the UK.

All in all it was a very good holiday indeed. There are still many more sights we would like to see in India, and when we are in Delhi again - Yes, we will stay with Surinder, and her family, and would not hesitate in recommending them to our friends.

By the way did I tell you.....you get a lovely , lovely cup of tea!!!!!
