We stayed with Sachin on and off for a week. He has a great set-up; it's close to everything but tucked away above an orchard. Our room was spacious and very clean, as was the ensuite bathroom, all with windows overlooking the Himalayas. The staff are really impressive, going out of their way to be helpful, cooking us great food at all times of the day and night. Sachin himself is a biker and knows the Himalayan areas well. This meant he was able to hire a motorbike for us at a good price (and more to the point one that had no 'issues') and advise us on the best routes. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Iris Cottage, for all the right reasons.

Wonderful experience Stayed here with my friend for about a week. Amazing staff, their wooden cottage is a heritage property, beautifully maintained. Will be coming again here. Their dining is newly built and good furniture and food. It opens to big orchard. Pave the o premise feels like going away from crowd city. Best luck.

Me and my friend visited and stayed at this place from 24th june to 1st july and we were supposed to stay here only for a day, LoL. It is amazing, we used to watch cricket everyday and have our meals and snacks in the cafe. Their staff is really polite ans sunny looked after us well. Their stay is amazing with views of Old Manali and mountains on the front. Feels like away from crowd. I will be coming again very soon.

We were 5 friends stayed here for 4 days and had awesome time. For 2 nights we stayed in heritage cottage and remaining we stayed in their newly built rooms. Vishisht hot spring are at walking distance and we went there almost everyday and Jaypal also guided us for Jogni waterfall hike and local attractions and some cafes. They are running this place as homestay but providing so many amenities and have good staff. Having fun watching India vs England world Cup match, was memorable. I am writing this review sitting and enjoying here in the Cafe watching live on projector.

This place is undoubtedly best ive ever stayed at. I was truly in love with this one. I love the view outside my room. The valley view was very relaxing for me. The balcony was the most impressive one thing that will be missed. I take lots of photos there. The staffs were very friendly and responsive. Hosts were super friedly, polite and so welcoming. Their cafe is built beautifully and we enjoyed watching music and sports and had lots of discussion there. Will miss every single day of my stay here. Thank you Sachin and Jaypal for your warm hospitality.
