Excellent location with Bhimtal on one side and Sattal on the other side of the ridge. Birding opportunities all around. Staff were exceptional. Three day package involved nature treks and lovely picnic lunch was provided at the destination. Staff were knowledgeable about the surroundings and I was accompanied by Gaurav on a trek to Sattal. Gaurav was very knowledgeable and keen to assist with my bird photography sessions. He told me about a lovely bird hide run by the Christian Ashram where you can book an AM or PM session for 500 rupees, which is extremely reasonable! I saw several birds for the first time from this hide including the elusive White-crested Laughingthrush and many other birds. Food was excellent and Govind from catering made sure that my favourite food, including Kumaoni cuisine was provided. All in all, an excellent stay and I have plans to return next year.

− Bathroom was rather basic. There was no shower curtain around the bath area/wetroom and water went everywhere during shower/bath resulting in a slip hazard. A simple curtain around the area would rectify the problem.

Peaceful Bungalow at a magical location

My recent stay at the Bungalow was nothing short of an enchanting experience. Fredy's Bungalow is fully surrounded by nature and the property itself was very beautiful. The food at Fredy's Bungalow was a delicious delight. Their culinary Chef crafted exceptional Chinese and Kumaoni cuisine that surpassed my expectations. The place was very clean and all the facilities mentioned in the description were available. Mr. Gaurav was always very accommodating and helpful and checked in on us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend Fredy's Bungalow to anyone seeking a magnificent getaway. The stunning architecture, tranquil location, outstanding hospitality, and exquisite food make for an unforgettable experience.

It was a very peaceful and blissful location. We were particularly excited to visit for the birds in the area — the moment we got out to the patio, we saw a purple-rumped sunbird, fluttering around a tree very close to us. You can constantly hear the birds chirping and singing all day – it was lovely! Their team churns out meals that just feel homemade. Spacious and cozy bedroom, well-crafted architecture in the cozy sitting area, and the bathrooms were tidy. Wanted some dedicated time to read, think, meditate, walk and just be around nature. And I could do all thanks to this terrific place. This Bungalow was worth every penny.

− Everything was perfect. Nothing negative IMO.

Our stay was perfect in every aspect. They've got an excellent chef. Every single time he churns outs his best and sets a better benchmark than his previous one. The Chinese and their signature Kumaoni cuisine were delicious. I usually maintain a diet, but their tasteful dishes made me crave more and had my tummy filled. Gaurav took us for a walk after lunch around the Bungalow, reaching SatTal lake in about 45 minutes. He was very engaging and explained to us all the heritage sites on the way. The Ashram, a 100-year-old Church, and the post office set up during the British period –– all these, we would have not known if Gaurav hadn't shared his local knowledge. Reaching the lake, we did Kayaking. The lake water was still and the calmness around the lake was rejuvenating. The location of the Bungalow was perfect and we got to experience all these on our walk into the woods. Overall, the Bungalow is a highly recommended.
