We went to the grand oak with great expectations and were terribly let down. The place is situated in a fantastic place but that's about it. The rooms are dingy, the food average and unlike what the owners claim, there is electricity provided by other properties in binsar. You have electricity only from 7-10. Would not recommend for families with... More

Warm, cozy, comfortable, verdant, serene, stunning, breath taking - words start gushing out as I sit down to write this review. Firstly, a big note of thanks to our hosts for a wonderful family vacation in the lap of the Himalayas. The manor is a pre Independence colonial structure, restored with much love and care by a young couple who... More

A young entrepreneur couple has restored their family's century old mansion and turned it into a heritage hotel. The first thing that strikes a discerning traveller is the way old world charm has been retained while restoring and renovating the property. We first got the taste of their hospitality even before we could reach the manor. When we passed through... More

Sometimes the beauty of nature leaves you speechless. Grand Oak Manor is situated in exactly that kind of place. The crowning glory of the gorgeous Binsar Nature Sanctuary, the resort overlooks endless miles of dense jungle, hills as far as the eye can see and somewhere beyond that, the breathtaking Himalayas. We visited Grand Oak Manor in July this year... More

Grand Oak Manor is gorgeous, both by virtue of being in the middle of a wilderness and a stately old British home. I went there with two friends in May, and we spent most of our time sitting out in the wide upstairs verandah, admiring the moonlight and listening to the barking deer in the woods over the wall. The... More

We visited Grand Oak Manor in the month of Nov 2011. We were 2 famailies together with 2 kids. While traveling through the dense forest of Binsar sanctuary, you will not even get a glimpse of this resort....first you reach a place which has relatively more open space...from there you take a small, rocky road upwards on a hill and...

Firdaus, or Heaven is an oft-wondered space, sight, feeling. Many poets have written about their pursuit of heaven. A unique experience is usually felt through the 5 senses.

we entered Binsar Sanctuary, my first thought was' this is one dense forest'...we drove on deeper and deeper, our driver getting apprehensive by the minute(it was close to sunset and it was a one way ride)until....situated atop a hill we saw this colonial mansion reconverted into a luxury (maybe heritage?) resort. You normally never see the owners of resorts like... More

A delayed response, but we were under renovation and are back now. We see similar issues in this review and the previous one, and if we remember correctly, both are from the same group of guests. You were dissatisfied with certain things, such as unavailability of ice, not being able to read at night etc. Binsar is a wildlife sanctuary... More
