Jorhat, Northeast Hill States, India
Dating from 1929, this whitewashed colonial-style mansion, built by a wealthy tea planter just outside Jorhat, holds five spacious guest rooms, all of them packed with old family memorabilia and bits of evocative bric-a-brac. The grounds harbour a recently built pool, and there’s an airy front porch where you can lounge on leather armchairs watching exotic birds flash through the foliage.
Our opinion
This charming guest house is the best available option for an overnight stay in Jorhat.
