Spread over 13 acres of river front space and within a Mango grove in Garjia, Corbett Hideaway is one of the oldest and most talked about resort in Corbett Country. Their cottages with open air sit-out area will always remind you of childhood days when you used to climb up that "aam ka ped" and pluck mangoes...And trust me the mangoes here are ripe and always in front of you ;-)
Overall Resort: Previously known as Claridges Hideaway, the resort has certainly lived upto its name. Lot of greenery, trees all around you, a nice sprawling lawn coupled with a beautiful swimming pool, open air restaurants and a bar, The Corbett Hideaway is definitely the finest in Corbett. Moreover I always felt there is some class in this resort...A resort which very well knows what they are selling and why. I loved their High Bank restaurant which is an open deck overlooking the Kosi river and full of life.
Accommodation: They have 52 cottages in total and I really liked their newly built Superior Cottages. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable.
Service: I fail to understand how their service standards are so superior than any other resort. The staff is very friendly and you are treated like a king. Their sales and service definitely works...You get more than what you are promised.
Reacreational Facilities: Library, Swimming Pool, Snooker, Table Tennis, Cricket, Badminton and Fishing.
Location: Location is obviously good...It is located on the highway, by the Kosi River and close to the Bijrani Jungle Gate...What else can you ask for?
Attractions at Corbett Hideaway:
1. Jim's Grill House: A thatched outdoor restaurant which serves mouth watering buffet meals.
2. Library: If you like reading and coffee...This is a perfect place for you. They have a very good collection of books on topics related to Tigers, Sanctuaries, etc.
3. Swimming Pool: The pool at Corbett Hideaway is absolutely fantastic...You would certainly like to take a dip.
4. Fishing: The is a small natural Mahaseer pool close to the resort where you can go and do fishing...Always remember, the catch and release style :)
Tariffs: Corbett Hideaway definitely comes for a price. But you know what...Its worth it! The base cottage starts at about Rs. 6,000/- per night with breakfast. Go for it if you can afford...Else I ll show you some lighter ones :)
Cobett Hideaway is also very famous for Corporate programs and most of the times during season its sold out. Please book in advance incase you want more than 2 units.

The WORST experience I have ever had. The check-in was a horror. I was booked in Corbett Hideaway but the rascals forced me to move to their lesser known property,the River View Resort. Check-in took 40mins!!!
After prolonged argument, we were alloted rooms in the resort. Must say, the maintainence of the rooms is something they forgot. Being the best resort in Corbett, we expected a lot more than living in a room with torn upholstery and sofa, torn bedsheets, a shower cubicle minus curtains or door, chipped off painting all over the ceiling,etc.
Am not gonna recommend this shithole to any of my friends ever.
The Safari Desk at the resort charges twice the rates for safaris. I suggest ppl get bookings done by themselves from the Ramnagar office. Hiring a gypsy from the numerous drivers swarming the place is a good bargain as against the resort.
