WelcomHeritage Judges Court

Beautiful farmhouse type or old fort or heritage property. Beautiful spacious rooms and bathrooms too. Food is excellent and reasonable like 750 for breakfast and 950 for dinner per person. Lush greenery and very quiet place.

Beautiful hotel, each room is unique, a relaxing place to come and stay after sight seeing in the local area. The owners were in town and serviced us drinks and we chatted before dinner which was a lovely touch. The food at dinner and breakfast was to die for.

We had booked into a deluxe room and were put in R5 - if this was deluxe then!!! I will add some photos to show what this room was like - they speak for themselves! The food was awful - the worst we encountered in India.

We stayed for 1 night en route from Shimla to Palampour. Check in was quick & easy. We had the Mountbatten Arch room, deluxe, which was huge. Very creaky floorboards! As it’s cold in the evenings in February there were 2 electric fires & electric blankets provided which made it cosy. The bathroom was simple but everything worked well. Breakfast buffet was good & omelettes excellent. Dinner was also buffet with good local home style options which we enjoyed. The staff looked after us well & were very efficient. The grounds were spacious with seating areas & we could walk ***** the road into the village.

This old, converted mansion offers a series of colour co-ordinated and well finished rooms (located in both the main house and the buildings flanking the rear elevation). At the rear of the property there is a large lawned area where there is adequate seating for relaxing and a firepit in the evening. (You'll also find a double swinging seat and chip monks here.) Details: 1. ROOMS: Secured with a padlock on the exterior double doors, the rooms boast large double beds, aircon, heater, hair dryer, wifi and safe (although our safe was just left loose in the wardrobe). 2. EN SUITE: Modern bathroom, sufficient hot water (but remember to flick the switch for this 30 minutes before you want it) & toiletries. 3. FOOD: Great food although the choice at breakfast was a little restricted (but remember that this place is fairly isolated). 4. FACILITIES: There is a plunge pool (that we managed to fit 4 people in for a swim), it isn't heated but extra towels are provided. 5. STAFF: Very friendly 6. OTHER: As other visitors have commented, this hotel is fairly isolated with only the village next door to explore (to be honest we found this very relaxing but if you are looking for a lot of night life then...). All in all, we'd rate this as the best hotel on our tour.

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.
