It is a property one must visit. The food and accommodation are excellent, the hospitality of the staff, from the waiters to the managers, is unmatched. We were 4 of us so we had selected the family suite which has 2 interconnected rooms with 2 en-suite toilets. We had opted for tea tourism and was given a detailed tour of the processes in the field, from plucking, etc, to the manufacturing in the factory. I would highly recommend travelers to opt for the factory visit and tea tasting tour. The food is really fresh and there is a vast variety of cuisines to select from. Unlimited, fresh, tea is provided. The network is an issue in parts of the property but you get full coverage in the dining area and the rooms (at least the one I stayed in) Will visit again.

Excellent stay in this mesmerising clime with families of 4 friends. The property is beautifully architected with a old world charm. The resort manager Mr Ravindra Kang and his retinue of staff will make you feel most comfortable and always wanted. They are genteel and never ever says ‘No’ to a guests request. The food is phenomenally good. The vegetarian spread needs a special mention. You are pampered for choice. I was not aware that even vegetarian food can taste soooooooo well!! Believe you me!
There is a huge lawn in front of the building. The bonfire can be arranged with prior notice to beat the cold. There is a seat out in the backyard as well which gapes at the vegetation spread over the horizon. At night you can see small lights from a village in Nepal. Yes, Mirik indeed is located very near to the international boundary between India and Nepal.
The multiple lounge at the ground floor are all ornate with antique figurines and furniture. Tucked in the corner are functional fire place that spread warmth to its guests quite similar to their staffs, whenever it becomes very cold.
There is a huge games room with carrom board, pool table, fussball, table tennis, indoor games etc. there is also a good collection of books to browse through or even for those into serious reading. Rooms are very comfortable and so is the wash room with no dearth of hot and cold water during anytime of the day. The view from each and every room is surrounded by tea gardens in steps.
We were ensconced for 5 days and never ever felt bored. We had no complaints, not even if you think deeply. We wanted more but unfortunately all good things must come to an end, and so it did. Kids had a ball and so did the parents.
We left the place with very fond memories and hoped to visit and spend another serene sojourn in salubrious weather soon again. Keep up the good work Sourenee !!

This was my first visit to a stay at a tea estate, and I gotta say the bar has been set super high! The rolling fields of tea plantations, fresh air and amazing views aside, the quaint three-storey property with a fire place and the staff were what made the trip extra special. They attended to our every need and every single meal we had was delicious and breakfast is usually served out in their verandah offering again, spectacular views of the surroundings. (special shout out to their pakoras!!!!!). The rooms were clean, spacious and offered full access to the spectacular views and came equipped with electric blankets which were very much needed if you were to go during winter. The stay also included free guided tours through the tea plantations and their tea factories and a chance to see how the locals live as part of the estate. Would definitely recommend anyone who wants to enjoy a luxurious yet tranquil stay tucked into the mountains.

If you ever dream of a memorable trip in Tea Estate, then you must visit Sourenee tea estate in Mirik, Darjeeling district, West Bengal, India. We were a group of 10 stayed there between 13th March and 15th March 2023. We can't thank Sourenee Tea estate enough for their amazing generosity. They are such a wonderful host! They made us feel completely at home and treated us like VIPs The staff was very wonderful and catered to every need. The hotel team has always been friendly, smiling, patient and helpful. The room was impeccably clean, and all the facilities were in perfect working order. Breakfast , lunch & dinner was excellent and incredibly varied. Thank you for your excellent hospitality, and I hope to stay again soon.

I visited Souronee with group of friends for an extended weekend, expecting a laidback chill break. Not only did Sourenee deliver on the luxurious relaxation, but also had a surprising amount of activities to offer. From treks to adventure sports (collabs in Darjeeling), spas to a panoramic view from the hot tub, the visit was a surprising hidden gem within a short reach from Kolkata.
For people who wish to just relax, the resort, located like an oasis amidst the tea gardens, had the prefect tranquil required to disconnect from the world.
The exceptional service made the experience feel like a cruise by offering personalized food preferences that are discussed with the guests before every meal. The bonfire with the barbecue, ethnic Nepali cuisine, Khowsuey and Apple Crumble with Custard are experiences that shouldn't be missed!

I went to Sourenee for a couple of days to stay with my family in Dec 2020. Our collective jaw dropped to the plains at the first sight of the property, when we took the last bend on the approach. It is undoubtedly one of the best maintained properties in the hills. Curated lawns, furnishings that remind you of the royal Indian era (probably this tea estate is one of the few which did not belong to the British), and a view to die for! But the most amazing things at Sourenee are not the fantastic everyday comforts or the lip smacking vegetarian cuisine. It is the warmth of the people who welcome you into their property that gets your heart. It is the genuine interest in your well-being when Parikshit wants you to have a fresh hot paratha instead of the one he served you 5 mins back. It is the way the articulate Mr. Ravindra Khan (the Manager) tells you about the area and the tea gardens. It is the pure affection when the gardener asks you whether you are comfortable in the cold. I can go on and on about everyone there, and still not talk enough about them. One can learn hospitality from Sourenee. I wish them all the very best!

I visited this place in April this year. I don't have words to describe the beauty and charm of this eclectic place nestled in the most beautiful surroundings of Mirik. It is located in the midst of the tea estate and one can view the tea gardens from the room also. The peace and serenity is all abounding. But what rates it apart is the quality of food. The chef here is amazing and rustles up a variety of dishes in no time. You just have to say so. The food is delicious and a better fare than what you get at top rated restaurants elsewhere. The Chinese dishes were cooked to perfection and so yumilicious. The place is ably managed by its loyal manager Mr. Kang, who has been around for many years. Hw was particularly very conscientious that the visitors should enjoy to the maximum and have an experience to remember. Keep it up and forever endeavour to better the experience of the travelers.

I had great expectation from the place but was disappointed with the overall maintenance n upkeep of the place. Though the price for the rooms are in same high range as the other tea estate in the area, the upkeep and the maintenence is really lacking and it misses out on the charm of the old building. It seem to have all the facilities in place but most of them are either out of order or in depleted condition.
Cons: We were in the old suite on the 2nd floor. both the rooms n bathroom had damp wall, peeling paint, broken window n blinds. The furnishing was irregular and looked old and jaded. There were pest and cockroaches in room. Water dripped from the ceiling. Bathroom was damp and dim lit.
Lift, jacuzzi n sauna was out of order. Gym equipment looked tired and rusted.
No staff other than night guard in the night was also alarming for a resort that size.
Pro: The staff made up for the disappointment- Ashika, Parikshit, Nitish and all the staff helping in serving. They were friendly n helpful.
Given I had travelled with my parents and lack of lift made it difficult for them to go down often, staff was kind enough to serve food upstairs.
Food was pretty good and we could order as per need.
The location of the property in between the tea garden is charming.

Amazing place to spend some quality time amidst nature. The property is well maintained with good sized rooms. Has a few indoor games and a great library. So if you are looking for a place to take a sip of your favorite drink in the lap of nature this is it. They have ala-carte food and the best part is it's a completely vegetarian place offering lip smacking food. Special mention to Mr Deepak and his team for a warm welcome and great hospitality.
