The Hive Cottage Corbett

About this villa

Perched on a peaceful ridge with sweeping views of the forested hills, this villa-style resort offers a refined escape just minutes from Nainital’s most loved landmarks. Located only 1.7 km from Nainital Lake, 800 metres from Tiffin Top, and 1 km from Mall Road, it strikes a perfect balance between accessibility and seclusion.   This property was built in 1870 by the late Raja Ram Bhargava of Nainital, and its reception roof still retains the original 140-year-old Burmese teak wood. Thoughtfully designed for comfort and quiet, the resort is home to four distinct suite categories, each blending warm, natural materials with elegant, understated décor. The Magnolia Rooms, set across the ground and first floors, are cosy and light-filled, featuring queen beds, wooden ceilings, and soft hill views. The Ramsay Couple Suite offers a romantic ambience with vintage furnishings, high-beamed ceilings, and a private lounge area perfect for slow mornings or relaxed evenings. For families or groups, the Kipling and Corbett Two-Room Suites provide generous space, garden views, and charming interiors with heritage-inspired details. All rooms include ensuite baths, modern comforts, and thoughtful touches like parquet flooring, workspaces, and organic toiletries.   Shared spaces invite quiet connection—enjoy seasonal meals in the in-house restaurant, designed with wooden beams, antique furniture, and garden-facing windows. The sit-out area, surrounded by tall trees and cool mountain air, is ideal for morning coffee or sunset reflections. A welcoming reception lounge with curated corners and soft seating completes the experience.   A rare and valuable feature in Nainital, this retreat provides dedicated parking for up to six cars, ensuring guests travel with ease. Rooted in the ethos of "Atithi Devo Bhava," a top-tier hospitality team is dedicated to offering exceptional service and care, ensuring each guest’s stay is memorable     Corbett two-room suite   Bedroom 1 One queen-sized bed | Area: 180 sq.ft | Wall-mounted 32” TV | Electric kettle | Red floral sofa set with cushions | Wooden parquet flooring | Side tables | Wooden coffee table | Wood cabinets with a mirror above | Side console with a lampshade | Large glass windows with curtains | Workstation with a chair | Low wooden ceiling with recessed lights | Wardrobe | Carved wooden console with a table lamp | Warm, ambient lighting | Vintage-style furnishings | Heater | Garden views | Located on the ground floor      Bedroom 2 One queen-sized bed | Area: 100 sq.ft | Electric kettle | Wooden parquet flooring | Nightstands | Wardrobe | Vintage side table | Wooden ceiling | Wall painting | Windows with curtains | Mounted antlers | Vintage style dressing table | Wall sconces | Heater | Electric kettle | Garden views | Attached to the first room | Outdoor patio area | Located on the ground floor    Bathroom Shower, geyser, and hand jet spray | Ceramic sink with storage & mirror | Organic toiletries and towels | Western commode | Mirror | Exhaust | Wooden ceiling | Hair dryer      Spaces   In-house restaurant Seating pax: 16 | Multiple wooden dining tables & cushioned chairs | Vintage furniture | Attic-style wooden ceiling | Potted plants | Glass windows with scenic views | Recessed lighting | Wall sconces | Pendant lighting | Wooden flooring | Outdoor seating area with a swing | Located on the ground floor | Indoor games | Library with antique bookshelf & magazines    Note: The property features a fully equipped commercial kitchen, which is not accessible for guests.      Sit-out area Patio furniture | Scenic hill views of the surrounding | Potted plants | Surrounded by tall trees | Black metal railing for safety      Reception Lounge space | Cosy sofas with cushions | Large mirror above a fireplace area | Counter table with chairs | Side tables with books | Wardrobe | Wooden flooring | Outdoor seating area with patio furniture | Located on the ground floor
