The space

This is a sixty year old property set in a one acre compound in the heart of the city in Dalanwala. Dalanwala was originally a tea estate with an intricate canal system to water it’s litchi trees, set by the Rispana River. Initially, we were only forty bungalows in this area, but with urbanisation and an increase in population there are over 4000 houses and apartments here now, making Dalanwala one of the busiest and most sought after addresses of Dehradun.

Berry House is one of the few bungalows that still maintains its original size.

We have a total of 14 bedrooms and 3 serviced apartments that we let out. We steer clear of the term hotel. We are a home stay and provide all the comforts and convenience that you would find in your own home. Our ‘ghar ka khana’ being our biggest usp makes us the most popular homestay of Dehradun.
