Magpie the Chestnut Retreat

An awesome place to stay. Hospitality was an added value to us. Neat and clean inspite of rains. Good food and well prepared. We would love to visit with more family members in future. Truly it was like a home away from home feel but great amenities.

Our recent stay at Magpie Chestnut Retreat was a superlative experience crafted by the pristine natural ambience and cordial human touch of some of the most sincere and dedicated staff at retreat. In able leadership of Mr Udeshya , every aspect of the stay is guest centric ,making you soak in the good hospitality and kind attention for a comfortable stay. We had a cottage with balcony for 4 nights ,with direct mesmerizing views of mount Kanchenjunga and the cascade of other lower mountains. The rooms are spacious and well equipped to stay warm at night. The beds are fitted with electric bed warmer and good flow of hot water in bathroom. The bounty of colorful flowers and rare birds chirping all around is delight for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts. The Food & Beverage section is awesome with elaborate menu and variety for breakfast and dinners. Front desk at Restaurant served by Mr Diwakar and team were always attentive to see guests find it suitable to avail a good meal. Sincere staff at the restaurant are commendable for their polite demeanor and kind gestures. Special thanks to Ms Sandhya ,who took great care to serve us warm water always at the table. She has joined the job recently but surely promising asset for Magpie Retreat. Mr Anant Subba, the master Chef is another gem and genius , who dished out elaborate spread with no repetition for the four days of our stay. The menu was delicately planned with something of every taste accommodated ***** with local dishes for people who would like to explore. The food was gentle in levels of spices and fresh ,made from very good quality ingredients. You can spend good time at the resort itself or go around for walks or visit the usual tourist spots nearby. Senior citizens and elderly would also be able to manage well with little bit of support. If you would like to relax and rejuvenate in the laps of mountains , this is surely the peace abode...

Aesthetically done place that gives you the relaxed, holiday vibe from the moment you pass through the gates. Rooms are spacious with all amenities and view of the mountains. Service and staff are good, so is the simple home styled meals. Definitely recommend
