WelcomHeritage Judges Court

We recently spent two nights here whilst on a Cox & Kings tour. What a lovely hotel! All the staff and the owners were friendly and helpful. My wife is restricted to a gluten free diet and the chef was very helpful in ensuring that she could eat most items on the menu.

A lovely heritage hotel surrounded by attractive gardens. Comfortable and clean room. The meals were tasty, served by attentive staff. We only stayed one night, but if we had the time, we would have happily stayed longer. Try the heritage walk to see the heritage village.

We couldn't fault our stay at The Judge's Court. It's the perfect spot to break the long drive north from Delhi and is situated in a secluded location in the quite mountain village of Pragpur. We stayed on our way to and from Mcleodganj - the first time in the Kipling room and the second time in the Hardinge room. It was also the perfect spot to rest and take in delightful surrounds, including the gardens and orchards, the village itself (India's first heritage village), and I spent hours exploring the many treasures housed at the Judge's Court itself. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. Offerings vary according to what is available so you can be guaranteed that whatever you order will be fresh. Breakfasts and dinner are usually taken in the formal dining room, but lunch, coffee and snacks can be had in the delightful courtyard or garden (perfect in the superb weather we experienced). At night pre dinner drinks are served in the bar or around the outdoor fire pit on warmer nights. Although our stay was planned as a stopover, next time I return it will be for the destination itself.

It is just like being invited into someone’s home staying here. The owners greeted us like long lost friends. A heritage property which is full of charm. Whilst very Indian has memories of the British. Especially the lovely quaint bar. Room we had was renovated and amazing. You have to eat in the hotel. There is only a heritage village adjacent to the hotel. That said everything was freshly cooked and tasted fantastic. I got an impromptu tour of the kitchens and they were spotless you could have eaten off the floor. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

As a vegetarian eating in this part of India should be easy, but not in this hotel. We came as part of a group from England, and we did notify the tour company about this, At our evening meal there was no vegetarian main course, so all we had was the vegetables, which were ok. I suppose the hotel’s answer will be that we should have asked for something else but that is not the point. The hotel is in a nice setting but if the food is a let down this clouds your judgement, non vegetarians did at least have a choice of main courses

We Visited this Property on 21st August 2024 and Booked 2 Rooms (3+2 stay) R1 and R2 in Residency Block, a 125 Year Old but Renovated Block, Property is Beautiful but Not managed Professionally, No Room Service,No intercom,No wifi. We met property owner also Very Nice old Couple as they are around 80 years as we estimated,we observed that its Difficult for them to Manage,They Appointed one Gate keeper Main Gate entry,who never sits at his place to open main gate,Every time we've to jump out of our Vehicle to open Big property entry Gate ,that fellow keep Roaming in Property and not Doing his work,We feel same is the Case with other employees. At 3:30PM we were told Kitchen is Closed at 2:30PM but on our insistence they served us Snacks, Property is over priced as Compared to the services and Maintenance of Property. Anyway if you are Visiting this Property don't expect much, Overall employees behaviour was Good
