Cozy and very very neat and clean rooms, lovingly maintained garden , and a always hand on and very charming hostess Sharlene, with whom you can spend hours together discussing everything about Meghalaya, What else one need to for a good...

We stayed here in May 2013 - and it was a truly incredible experience. The cottage is an old colonial bungalow converted into a homestay with some outstanding landscaping. You almost get the feeling you're staying in your aunt's house or something. They look after you very well. The rooms are very spacious and the food is marvellous. Plus, the... More

It was nice staying in a place done up in the English country cottage style however the food didn't match up to expectations. It was a little too "Bengali / Indian" to go with the overall experience of the place especially the breakfast! Loved the little chargeable hot water bags though!

Hi I stayed here for five days with my wife during our Honeymoon. We will never regret for choosing this. It was calm,quiet,homely and romantic. We loved the rooms and arrangements, ambient, the staffs, and the food. We were a little surprised since there was neither AC nor fan, but later we realized those are not required. Some of the...

We visited Shillong last week November, and in-spite having very close relatives here we opted to stay at Aerodene ( since had read a lot about on Trip Advisor itself). The accommodation is cozy and comfortable, gives a very warm feeling. We had taken a room with small lawn/balcony attached and is worth every penny you pay. The place is... More

We stayed in Aerodene Cottage four nights in December 2012. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay in Shillong. The rooms are cosy with all the facilities one needs and the little electric kettle for the cold winter mornings and nights were really helpful. The place is clean and the food is quite good,...
