From Mall Road
Backwoods B&B sits inside Roshan Niwas at the quieter Chotta Shimla end of the city — close enough to Mall Road to be convenient, far enough from it to actually sleep at night. It's a 6-room homestay with balcony rooms, wooden-themed interiors, and a straightforward pet policy: dogs and cats welcome, one per booking, leash required on property, and a flat ₹650 pet fee for the stay. No surprises at check-in.
✓ Confirmed by the property
Backwoods B&B has confirmed that dogs and cats are welcome here. The pet fee is ₹650 for the entire stay — not per night — which makes it one of the more reasonable flat-rate policies you'll find in Shimla. Maximum one pet per booking. The host and caretaker both greet guests at check-in, so you won't be navigating a confusing self-check-in process with a dog in tow.
What to Expect With Your Dog
The property is compact — 6 rooms, 100 sq ft per room — so this isn't a sprawling resort where your dog can wander freely. leash-on at all times on the property is the rule, and it's enforced. Pets are not allowed in the kitchen or on the beds. Outside those boundaries, the setting in Milsington Estate gives you access to the kind of calm hill-station lanes that are genuinely good for early morning walks with a dog — quiet roads, cool air, minimal traffic compared to the Mall Road chaos. Pet food is not available at the property, so carry your own supplies. Outside food is allowed, and food delivery from local restaurants is possible.
The Stay Itself
Rooms are wooden-themed with classic furnishings — practical and comfortable rather than fancy. The B&B has 24-hour hot water, free Wi-Fi, and power backup, which matters in Shimla where outages aren't uncommon. There's no air conditioning, but at this altitude you won't need it. The host speaks Hindi and is present to assist. Local shuttle service is available, though parking at the property is not. If you're driving up with a dog and luggage, plan your drop-off point accordingly.
Location for Pet Parents
Chotta Shimla is a residential pocket that works well if you're travelling with a pet — away from the crowd and noise of the Ridge, but within easy reach of it. The 1 km distance to Mall Road is walkable on a good day, though Shimla's terrain means it involves some incline. The property is 4 km from ISBT. No pools, no fitness centre — this is a no-frills homestay that gets the basics right and happens to be one of the few places in Shimla that will actually let your dog through the door.
