Service

Groombridge Shimla is a small property and for the same reason, food service to the rooms is not provided and we would request our guests to step into Purple Peppers, the dining room and order food of their choice.
The interiors of Groombridge have a generous usage of wood and hence are a strict NO SMOKING zone, for reasons pertaining to public health and safety against fires. We would request our guests to refrain from smoking within the interiors of the property.

A ROOM WITH A VIEW I walked along the woods one day With tranquil breath and halcyon skies Of hydrangeas, rhododendrons and arums galore Was it serendipity or natures' ties The rooms at Groombridge are placed along the winding staircases of the North side and the South side, that lead to the Attic rooms. All the rooms are named after mountain flowers which grow on and around the property. They are categorized by our perception of the nature of our travellers.

Groombridge Facilities

Give your stress wings And let it fly away to places where your soul finds peace And unwind and wander astray REBOTTLED Just walk into the lounge room , Rebottled, to unwind after a long drive up or just for picking a book to read by the window. Our guests could also find some board games stacked away in corner to spend some fun times with their friends and family. Its easy to catch a view of a Thrush or magpie through the windows of Rebottled SUN DECK A gentle breeze carrying whiffs of mountain flowers, or a floating cottony cloud in the azure sky. A thunderstorm gathering momentum in the distant hinterland or the deep blue star studded sky. The twinkling lights on the ridge with the Indian flag flying high or the birds twittering in the dense oak foliage

Restaurant

We feel good food is nirvana for one's soul , specially when one is away from the comforts of one's own home and hearth. Hence a lot of thought went into the preparation of the menu at PURPLE PEPPERS. While we wanted to keep it healthy, we also wanted to be indulgent with our guests . Thus the menu was designed to serve our travellers with some home cooked recipes, and some exotic ones, which we would serve as a homely buffet or on a-la- carte , depending on occupancy. We are very happy accommodating any special requests from our guests for their food preferences , with some advance notice. We would love to pack you a picnic hamper or a barbeque set, should you wish to drive out for a picnic lunch in the hills.
