Clyde’s farm is charming and quaint, in the middle of lush greenery. Our two dogs had a blast romping around the freshwater streams running around the large property. The cottage... read more itself is spacious, breezy and immaculately maintained. It’s not exactly luxurious but more than comfortable. The food made by the housekeepers is quite tasty and fresh. Clyde himself was very helpful and hospitable. He welcomed us to extend our departure time when we got stranded because of the rains and even offered to host us for an additional night if the roads didn’t open up. Later he checked in on us, to make sure we made it back safe and sound. Overall, it was a delightful experience and I heavy recommend pet parents to give this place a try since there are so few places that welcome pets so wholeheartedly.

  Our family had the most refreshing 24 hours at Clyde’s place. It is conveniently located, spacious, extremely neat and well maintained, with gorgeous trees and plantations, and an angelic dog... read more Cosmos. The place is well equipped with everything one would need for a comfortable stay, and Clyde is thorough, prompt and passionate about making you feel like you belong. We ate all our meals at the property, they were sourced through Clyde and catered by Sangeeta tai, the caretaker’s wife, who lives in the village close by. All the food was lip-smacking, homely and wholesome. The caretaker (mama) spent the day tending to the property and making sure the pool is clean for our use. Clyde’s place is definitely on our list for a longer visit next time!

  Beautiful stay, wonderful location and Clyde was super helpful with tips and recommendations.

  Our weekend stay at Shalom House was truly memorable.

Clyde is a fantastic host. He and his family really put in a lot of effort in welcoming us... read more to their home. The house is impeccably kept, very child friendly, with all the basic amenities in living areas and a fully equipped kitchen if you choose to cook, and even books and toys for the kids. If needed, caretaker Sunita is available to bring prepared breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner for extra payment.

We enjoyed walking around the well maintained farm -- to look at the various trees, and the flying insects and butterflies, lizards, the umpteen jumping frogs and the occasional crab as well -- Clyde gave a us a tour on the first day.

Of course, the highlight of the stay for the kids (and for us) was jumping in to the elegant swimming pool right in the backyard whenever they got a chance -- the caretaker took constant care of it to keep it clean of any stray leaves and twigs that fell into it. In the evenings, just as it started to get chilly, we lit up the bonfire that the caretaker set up for us in the day and enjoyed hanging out around it until later in the night.

All in all, a homestay with all the right things in place to ensure a relaxing break.

  This was our second stay at Shalom and our only regret was the short duration of the stay. Clyde is very sweet and responsive and his staff looked after us... read more very well. The surroundings are gorgeous and the food was outstanding. We will soon come back for our 3rd visit.
