TCF Resort - (The Countryside Forest Resort)

This is basically an upcoming property and currently in terms of facilities has only the rooms ready. The rooms are spacious and clean. Extra mattress was provided in the room by default. The place is a little isolated and if u want to be away from the crowds, it's good. Indian cots (khatiya) are provided outside the rooms. However the rooms are still not equipped with a telephone. So anything to be ordered from the restaurant/housekeeping we had to personally go and talk to them. Hot water was available 24 hours (gas geyser). The manager and most of the staff was very helpful and assisted to make our stay comfortable. Internet Connectivity can be an issue and hence I would recommend to carry cash in case Ur room hasn't been prepaid. Complimentary breakfast was provided and overall the food was homely and good. Would love to visit the place again once their facilities (outdoor games for kids, swimming pool,etc ) are up and running. Reduced 1 star only because amenities were not up and running. PS : there is access to a strawberry farm at walking distance.. However, please confirm the rates before u start to pluck and compare with rates of strawberries outside. we found it was hiked exorbitantly as they allowed us to take pics and pluck our own fruits. Most of the staff was very accomodating and since it was not crowded when we went, we enjoyed the privacy.

Pros: 1. Food is very very tasty. 2. 24 hours hot water available 3. Hotel staff and owner are courteous and family like feeling. 4. Between Mahabaleshwar and Pachgani which is plus but little off road . 5. Far from crowded area. Cons: Nil. They only serve vegetarian food, but they arranged non veg food from outside, trust me veg food is really yummy and last two meals we preferred from their restaurant only. Free WIFI facility is available and we benefited a lot as mobile network was weak. Rooms are big and clean with open view and all facility available inside. Lots of space available outside to play and roam and suitable to all.

This place is newly opened and is a god damn great and value for money. Good place at very pocket friendly price. Staff was very sweet and the food was yumm. This place has strawberry farms to the left and right hand side of the cottage and it is just a few steps away, you can pluck, eat and also buy strawberries from the farm :) Great hospitality! They gave us a small box of strawberries during checkout and it was so sweet :) Good job team!

Initially, faced difficulty in locating the place as it is still under construction,Rest all you can see in pics, rooms and newly setup, so they are clean. they have provided 2 extra mattresses and pillow sets in the room. all these with reasonable pricing. food is good too(only vegetarian is served though). swimming pool and rest all finishing work outside rooms are in progress. it will be a even better place after all these are finished.
