You may have experience almost all the cottages or hotels in shimla, but this cottage is just amazing. perfect spot to relax and enjoy with your family and friends. i was here around an year back and i still remember the decor they have, the breakfast buffet was amazing(selective but not limited).
they have a small play ground in there premises, enough parking space and spacious rooms and well structured duplex cottages.
i personally would recommend you to reserve your room online and then go, despite of the fact that you wont find much crowd at marigold holiday cottage.
by the way this cottage is exactly located at mashobra(in the hills of shimla).
