We absolutely loved our stay at Sunnymead - everything from Madhavi and Medu's delicious cooking, the cosy fireplace and the Indian-infused cottage charm was simply perfect. Madhavi was a wonderful hostess, full of suggestions and wisdom for us lost Australian travelers! The only possible negative of Sunnymead is that no other place will be able to compare.

And that sums up what I feel about Sunnymead, about the dynamo by the name of Madhavi who is the heart, soul and engine behind sunnymead, about her mom, who regaled us with fascinating tales of her travels and travails and kept us away from lesser things we had planned for our alone time, about the dogs with complicated names,...

Nothing prepares you for the wonder that is Sunnymead...not the lovely photographs...not the rave reviews on trip advisor...not your wildest wishes! We arrived at Sunnymead not really sure what to expect and yet Sunnymead far exceeded any expectations we ought to have had. A short walk from the main gate brought us to a fairy-tale cottage...replete with beautiful furnishings, a... More

Be warned that you'll come back heavier. You are constantly tempted with splendid meals, forcing you to overeat. Be also warned that you'll not want to leave - they make you feel... More

Sunnymead should be your raison d’etre to go to Shimla. Shimla is just another hill station but Sunnymead will become your home for a few days. Madhavi is a gracious host and a superb cook. Produce is fresh from her garden and her repertoire of recipes is vast. We had continental food, delicious and presented beautifully. She is so much... More

Sunnymeade is a wonderfully renovated old 'cottage' with extremely comfortable rooms. It's facilities are of a very high standard and there is great attention to detail and cleanliness. And, very importantly, it is far away enough from the madness of Simla's Mall, but near enough if you like walking exercise. The house is just below the Indian Institute for Advanced... More

I stayed at Sunnymead for a few days of quiet last year. Was most impressed by the fiesty young Madhavi Bhatia who runs the homestay. The home has been beautifully restored & modernized by Madhavi and her family. My days at Sunnymead were restful, I could sleep long uninterrupted hours and not get disturbed despite just being off the main... More
