Rokeby hit us a surprise. We had booked the hotel through reading reviews but were not too optimistic. It was love at first sight. We loved it immediately for its ambiance, decor and comfortable setting. The room given to us was very homely yet had everything luxurious. The lounge area was our favourite and we loved it so much that... More

Great location, beautiful view, clean !, willing staff, good chef, some lovely rooms. The only drawback was the reluctance of the staff to light the fires in the lobby and in the rooms early in March..

Rokeby Manor is nestled quietly around tall pine trees in the quaint little hill town of Landour. This beautiful spot is just a few kilometres off Mussourie but is so much more away from the milling crowd, noisy hustlers, and dusty construction. It boasts of having Ruskin Bond, Victor Banerji, Tom Alter, and Prannoy Roy as its famous inhabitants. And... More

We arrived at Rokeby Manor not knowing what to expect. We left with the most charming of memories of both the hotel and Landour. We were nine of us, between the log cabin and a double room. Redolent with a faux colonial charm, the reception rooms are cosy and welcoming, Emily's, a salon like dining/coffee area, is really a meeting... More

Sitting at just 50 meters from the famous Chaar Dukaan of Landour Cantt, this serene and quaint Raj Era Bunglow totally justifies the company of beautiful hills which it keeps.

Landour is the answer if you want to avoid the hustle and bustle of Mussoorie and Rokeby Manor is the perfect place to stay. Charming hotel, with delightful and very helpful staff, plus a wonderful restaurant. Every room is different and Rokeby has a real English feel to it, with the central wooden staircase and delightful small garden. Highly recommended... More

This place is kind of a niche hotel. Nicely remodeled. Bed and shower are great. Room service and meals in dining area are very good. Would stay here again. The views are fabulous from the dining area and front entrance.

As part of our recent trip to India, we also went to Masuri (Mussoorie) and enjoyed two nights in the beautifully restored Rokeby Manor, a historic place which reaches back to the British occupation in the early 19th century. The hotel offers an excellent cuisine for all different tastes even for not so spice proven European palates. After a few... More

I stayed at Rokeby for 2 nights in 2012 while visiting my alma mater, Woodstock School. Mussoorie has never had anything like this gorgeous bed and breakfast.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Rokeby was built in 1840 by Captain G.N. Cauthy and is one of the landmarks of Landour. The house and two acre estate are situated slightly above and to the east of St. Paul's Church and the old cantonment parade ground, which is now Char Dukan. Like many houses in Mussoorie, its name is taken from the writings of Sir Walter Scott, whose book-length poem describes heroic battles near the original Rokeby Castle in England. Methodist missionaries continued to operate the property as a guest house throughout the rest of the 20th century. Today, Rokeby has been carefully restored to its original glory. This heritage building is resplendent with character in its elaborate brick arches and niches, intricate stone walls, real wood floors and beams, and cosy fireplaces. Nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas, the traditions of bygone years – where colonial officers, renegade soldiers of fortune and pious miss saibs lived under one roof – can still be felt. An air of mystery beckons visitors. ... more   less
