Top 10 Cottages in Dehradun: what to know

Dehradun spreads out along a few main roads. The Clock Tower and Paltan Bazaar are the busy old centre; the railway station and the ISBT bus terminal sit to the south-west; the Rajpur Road runs north-east towards Rajpur and the road up to Mussoorie, with many of the cafes, restaurants and boutique stays. Sahastradhara Road and the Mussoorie Road foothills are greener and quieter, with villas, resorts and homestays; the Chakrata Road and the Haridwar Road are practical bases for the highway, and Jolly Grant airport is on the Rishikesh side. For a short trip, stay near the Rajpur Road or the Clock Tower; for a quiet one, go towards Sahastradhara or Malsi.

  • Most top 10 cottages are in Jolly Grant & Doiwala (2), Mussoorie Road & Malsi (1).
  • 1 have a star rating, including 0 five-star and 0 four-star.
  • 1 (33%) allow pets.

Top 10 Cottages in Dehradun: tips before you book

How this top 10 works: every cottage is ranked by its guest score, then by how many reviews it has, and only top 10 cottages with at least 5 guest reviews count, so one glowing review cannot top the list. Scores move as new reviews come in, so the order can change.

Where these are: Jolly Grant & Doiwala is on the Rishikesh side near Jolly Grant airport and Doiwala, handy for flights. Mussoorie Road & Malsi is the foothills on the way up to Mussoorie, around Malsi, with villas and hillside homestays.

Heading up the hill? Compare stays in Mussoorie (about 35 km up the hill road), see stays in Rishikesh (about 45 km away by road), look at our own handpicked homestays, or send us your dates and we'll suggest a stay.

Our area lines are drawn with a local's pencil, not a surveyor's, so a stay near the border might sit one neighbourhood over. Rates rise on weekends, long weekends, school holidays and the summer rush to the hills, so give the property a quick check before you pack.
