Escape to Paradise: Angoori Farm House, Mathura's Hidden Gem
Escape to Paradise: Angoori Farm House, Mathura's Hidden Gem
Escape to Paradise: Angoori Farm House - Mathura's Hidden Gem (Because Let's Face It, You Need This.)
Okay, so you're thinking, "Mathura? Really? Is there even a reason to go to Mathura?" And honestly, before I stumbled upon Escape to Paradise: Angoori Farm House, I'd have said a resounding "Maybe not." But friends, let me tell you, this place…this hidden gem…completely changes the game. Especially if you're craving a break from the chaos, a genuine escape, and maybe a little bit of luxury without the pretentious price tag.
Let's just dive in, shall we? This isn’t gonna be your clinical robot-review. This is gonna be my rambling-but-honest-to-god account of the experience.
Accessibility: The Good, The Okay, and the Hmm…
Okay, let's be real, this is not a massive, sprawling resort. It's a farm house, so accessibility is… mixed. The good news is, the staff is incredibly helpful and eager to assist. They're the kind of people who'd probably carry you everywhere if you needed them to. The okaaaay is the pathways might not be the smoothest if you are using a wheelchair. They're trying though. The hmmm… well, I didn't personally test every single inch for a wheelchair, but I'd recommend reaching out directly and being very upfront about your needs. They seem like the kind of place that would find a solution, but it's best to be prepared. Regardless, the elevators and walkways may be imperfect without prior communication.
Cleanliness and Safety: Breathing Easy (Literally!)
This is where Angoori Farm House absolutely shines. I’m a bit of a germaphobe (don't judge!), and the whole COVID situation has only amplified that. I was thrilled to see their commitment to cleanliness. Anti-viral cleaning products? Check. Daily disinfection in common areas? Check. Room sanitization between stays? Double-check! They even had hand sanitizer stations everywhere. Honestly, I felt safer there than I do in my own apartment. They are on point with protocols, with staff trained in all the safety protocols, and even have sterilizing equipment. It's genuinely impressive.
Rooms: Your Cozy Sanctuary (Plus Free Wi-Fi! Praise Be!)
Now, the rooms. They’re not the biggest you'll find, but they’re absolutely charming. And the best part? Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! YES! (I hate paying for internet!). They’re well-appointed, with things like air conditioning, tea/coffee makers, and (blessedly!) blackout curtains. The beds were comfy, the showers were hot, and I especially loved the bathrobes. Plus, the extra long bed was perfect because I am tall. If you are planning on working, you can do that Laptop workspace, or if you brought the family, you can connect with an interconnecting room!
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Food Glorious Food (and Surprisingly Good!)
Okay, I went in with low expectations for the food. Let's be honest, farm-to-table in the middle of Mathura? But boy, was I proven wrong! The Asian breakfast, (I am a sucker for those), was phenomenal. They offer a buffet in the restaurant (but also give you the option of breakfast in your room), which felt really safe because they were meticulous about hygiene. The restaurants are overall great, and you can even get a vegetarian restaurant! Also, they had a poolside bar! (I mean, who doesn't love a poolside bar?) Also, I was so glad, I had a bottle of water in the room when I needed. The snacks and coffee are perfect if you're looking to have a quick bite.
Things to Do: Relaxation Overload (in a Good Way!)
This is where Angoori Farm House truly excels. They’ve really created an atmosphere dedicated to relaxation. Forget sightseeing, people! I’m talking serious chill time. And honestly, if you’re looking for a relaxing break, look no further.
The Pool with a View: The swimming pool is not just a pool, it’s a vibe. It’s an outdoor swimming pool! Imagine – crystal-clear water, sunshine (because, Mathura!), and complete serenity. This is paradise-level stuff. You could spend your entire visit here. I did.
Spa/Sauna/Steamroom: Okay, so the spa experience was the ultimate indulgence. I got a massage. Honestly? It was one of the best I'd ever had. I'm talking, melt-into-the-table, sigh-of-pure-bliss kind of massage. Then I went to the sauna and then the steamroom as well, and I felt lighter than air. They also have Body scrubs and Body wraps, which I didn't try, but looked amazing. They're not messing around.
Fitness Center: Yep, even a Fitness center if you are feeling guilty and want to work out.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Make a Difference

- Cashless Payment Service: Huge win! So convenient.
- Doctor/Nurse on Call: Peace of mind. Great touch.
For the Kids (and the Young at Heart)
While not specifically geared towards kids, they seemed pretty family/child friendly. I saw some kids enjoying the pool. I didn't test out the babysitting service, but it's there if you need it.
Getting Around: Easy Breezy
- Airport transfer: You could arrange for this, which is super helpful.
- Car Park [free of charge]: This is a huge win!
- Taxi Service: Easy to arrange, if you require.
My Unsolicited (and Absolutely Honest) Takeaways:

Mathura Meanderings: Or, How I Learned to Love (and Briefly Loathe) Angoori Farm House
Okay, buckle up, Buttercups. This isn't your polished travel brochure itinerary. This is me, post-Mathura, still slightly dusty, a little sunburnt, and ready to spill the chai on my Angoori Farm House adventure. Prepare for a rollercoaster of emotions, questionable decisions, and questionable judging of other people.
Day 1: Arrival & Utter Overwhelm (Plus, the Great Chapati Catastrophe of '23)
Morning (8:00 AM): Arrived in Delhi. The chaos began immediately. Didn't bargain on the Delhi-Mathura drive being a near-death experience in a Suzuki Swift. Seriously, I think I aged a decade during that ride. My driver, bless his soul, was either permanently honking or yelling at someone. Made it to the train station (almost missed it!) and found this amazing, tiny chai shop; I swear it tasted like actual heaven.
Afternoon (1:00 PM): Arrived at Angoori Farm House. First impression? Charming. Seriously. Like, Bollywood-movie-set charming. Lush greenery, the scent of something vaguely floral and spicy (incense, I think?), and peacocks. Actual peacocks, strutting around like they owned the place. Felt an immediate sense of calm wash over me. This was it. Peace.
Afternoon (2:00 PM): The room. Okay, it wasn't quite the luxury suite I'd envisioned, but it was clean-ish. The bed was comfy. The hot water… well, let's just say it took a heroic effort to coax it out of the shower. And the AC, bless it, was working in fits and starts. Minor quibbles. I'm here for the experience, right?
Afternoon (3:00 PM): Exploring the farm! Wandered around, completely captivated by the chickens and the cows (yes, I cooed. Don't judge). The staff were lovely, always smiling and offering help. Tried to order lunch. Failed spectacularly. I ended up with a chapati the size of a small car and a curry that could have fueled a rocket. Ate half of it. The rest…well, let's just say a very opportunistic stray cat named "Chapati Thief" had a field day. The image of him, wrestling with that chapati, is burned into my memory.
Evening (7:00 PM): Sunset on the terrace. Gorgeous. A genuine moment of zen. Watched the peacocks settle for the night, drank some masala chai (proper this time!), and felt my anxiety melt away. Maybe Mathura wasn't so bad after all. Maybe I was even starting to enjoy it.
Day 2: Temples, Trauma & the Tandoori Chicken Incident (And a Near-Death Experience…Again)
Morning (8:00 AM): Woke up with a ravenous hunger. The previous day's chapati experience had clearly taken a toll. Headed for breakfast and ordered everything I could get my hands on. The parathas were divine. The aloo sabzi? Forget about it. Almost cried from happiness.
Morning (9:30 AM): Temple hopping! Visited the Banke Bihari Temple, the ISKCON Temple. The crowds were intense. Pushy. Overwhelming. I got separated from my guide and nearly lost my mind. My camera almost got pickpocketed. I saw so many beautiful people, and so many pushing and shoving to get closer to the deity. This intense devotion moved me, even as the chaos nearly swallowed me. I found it, almost, beautiful.
Afternoon (1:00 PM): Lunch – the infamous Tandoori Chicken Incident. Ordered it. Waited… and waited… and waited. It finally arrived, looking like it had been marinated in something questionable. One bite. My stomach revolted. Spent the next hour battling the urge to revisit my breakfast. I think it's safe to say my stomach is not a fan of tandoori chicken.
Afternoon (3:00 PM): Decided to "relax" with a massage offered at the farm house. It turned into a wrestling match with a woman who apparently thinks she's a professional wrestler. By the end, I was so sore that I couldn't move without making a sound like a dying walrus.
Evening (6:00 PM): Decided to take another "stroll." This time, things got even worse. Another near-death experience on a bicycle. A rogue auto-rickshaw very nearly took me out. I was convinced this was it. Felt my life flash before my eyes, and it consisted mostly of bad haircuts and questionable dating decisions.
Evening (7:00 PM): Dinner. Back to the farm. My appetite returned at last, but I played it safe and ordered vegetable curry. I also requested a bottle of water, which was promptly delivered… in a questionable glass.
Day 3: Redemption & the Sweet Taste of Chai… (And the Lesson I Learned Too Late)
Morning (8:00 AM): Woke up. Surprisingly, still alive. And ready to face the world. Or at least, ready to go for a walk around the farm. This time, I had a much better understanding of where I was.
Morning (9:30 AM): Breakfast. This time, I knew what to expect. I ordered two cups of chai, which came immediately. I savored every single sip.
Morning (10:30 AM): Visited the Govardhan Hill. The sheer scale and beauty of it were breathtaking. A powerful experience. Got so caught up in the moment, I even forgot to take pictures.
Afternoon (1:00 PM): The great escape! Found a decent taxi. Said my final goodbyes to the staff, feeling a pang of genuine sadness.
Afternoon (2:00 PM): Realized, on my way to Delhi, that I'd left my favorite scarf in the bathroom at Angoori Farm House. Rage.
Evening (5:00 PM): Arrived in Delhi airport (after a slightly less terrifying taxi ride). Reflecting on Mathura. Would I go back? Maybe. Despite the chaos and the occasional culinary disaster, there was something undeniably special about Angoori Farm House and the whole Mathura experience. A sort of chaotic beauty.
The Lesson? Pack more Pepto-Bismol. And maybe learn a few Hindi phrases. And, for the love of all that is holy, don't trust tandoori chicken.
Final Verdict: Angoori Farm House: 7/10. Would recommend (with caveats). Prepare to be charmed, challenged, and possibly slightly traumatized. But hey, at least you'll have a story to tell. And the chai? Worth all the near-death experiences. Especially the chai.

So, what *is* Angoori Farm House, exactly? Sounds a bit…cliché.
Okay, real talk? The name *is* kinda cheesy. "Escape to Paradise?" Sounds like something you'd find on a dodgy brochure promising eternal youth. But trust me, Angoori Farm House is… well, it's a farm house. In Mathura. A gorgeous one, actually. Think sprawling fields, mango trees laden with fruit (depending on the season, of course – don't expect fresh mangoes in December, duh!), and the kind of peace and quiet that makes you forget what Twitter even *is*. It's less "Paradise" and more "Breathing Room," a much, much needed one after the madness of Delhi. It's really good, though. Like, really good. I went expecting… well, I don’t even know what I expected. Something underwhelming, probably. But then I saw the pool, sparkling under the sun, and I was like, "Alright, sign me up for the cliché."
How do you *get* there? Because Mathura… well, it's not exactly next door.
Ah, the journey. This is where things get *interesting*. Driving from Delhi is the easiest, though the traffic on the Delhi-Agra highway… let's just say I've seen less chaotic mosh pits. I’d recommend starting EARLY. Like, before the roosters have even considered crowing. Otherwise, you're stuck in a sea of honking trucks and frustrated drivers. The train is an option, too, but then you need to arrange transport from the Mathura station, and figuring that out after a long train journey is just… not my idea of a good time. My first trip? Okay, full disclosure, we got a flat tire. On the highway. In peak rush hour. So, yeah, pack a spare tire, a healthy dose of patience, and maybe a flask of something fortifying. You’ll need it.
What's the vibe like? Is it all yoga and kale smoothies? (Please, no kale smoothies.)
Thank. God. NO. There's something wonderfully *unpretentious* about Angoori Farm House. Sure, you *could* do yoga. I saw a couple of blissed-out types attempting some sun salutations, but I was more interested in lounging by the pool with a book (and maybe, just maybe, a little something stronger than water). The vibe is relaxed, laid-back, and just… chill. Think families enjoying each other’s company, couples whispering sweet nothings (or bickering quietly – relationships are complicated, okay?), and groups of friends catching up. The staff? Seriously, they are lovely. Helpful, friendly, and they'll bend over backwards to make you comfortable. And thankfully, they serve *actual* food…good food. Not some trendy, rabbit-food nonsense. I'm talking proper, home-cooked Indian meals. And the chai? Divine.
The Rooms… Are they actually nice? Because, you know, "farmhouse" can mean anything.
Okay, the rooms. This is where Angoori truly shines. They aren't just "nice," they're *charming*. Rustic, yes, but in the best way possible. Think exposed brick, comfortable beds (a MUST), and spacious bathrooms. The decor is simple but elegant, with a touch of Indian flair without being overwhelmingly kitsch. Now, I stayed in the "Deluxe" room, and it was *gorgeous*. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the fields, a private balcony… I swear, I could have lived there. But, and this is important, don't expect blinding modern luxury. It's comfortable; it's well-maintained, but it’s not trying to be a five-star hotel. (Thank goodness, that’s exhausting.) It's the perfect blend of comfort and simplicity, which is what makes the place so good.
About the Food… Tell me everything. I live to eat.
Oh, the food. Right. This is where I truly got emotional. (Don’t judge me, I’m a foodie!) I’m going to be honest, the food was possibly *the best* thing about the Farm House. Forget any pre-conceived notions of bland hotel food. The chef – whoever that genius is – deserves a Michelin star, several awards, and probably a lifetime supply of whatever spices they use because it was *phenomenal*. I ate things I’ve never even heard of, and my taste buds did happy dances. The breakfasts were incredible – fresh parathas, fluffy omelets, and the most amazing homemade yogurt I've ever tasted. Lunch and dinner were a parade of deliciousness, from rich curries to perfectly grilled tandoori chicken. I’m not even exaggerating when I say I ate until I was physically incapable of eating more. I remember one evening, I ate so much that I thought I’d need to be rolled back to my room. I’m not proud of it, but the food was *that* good. The only thing I *didn't* love? Having to eventually leave!
Is there anything *to do* there? Besides eat and…breathe?
Okay, yeah, there's more to do than just eat and breathe (though, let’s be honest, those are pretty good pastimes). The pool is a major draw. It’s clean, refreshing, and perfect for lounging around. They also have a games room, which is good for entertainment if you're travelling with kids or just want to get competitive. You can wander around the farm, say hello to the cows (yep, there are cows!), and just…enjoy the scenery. They offer activities like pottery making, which I tried, and failed miserably at. I made something that looked like a misshapen blob, and now I'm pretty sure my pottery career is over. They can arrange day trips to nearby temples and historical sites. But honestly? I preferred chilling by the pool, reading, and generally doing absolutely nothing. And that, my friends, is a rare and precious thing.
What if I get bored?
Honestly? If you get *bored* at Angoori Farm House, you have a serious attention deficiency problem. If, and I say IF, you *do* get bored, it’s probably because you didn’t switch off everything and truly embrace the peace. Put down your phone. Close that laptop. Actually *look* at the sky. Listen to the sounds of nature. Read a book. Take a nap. Get a massage (yep, they have that too!). You could *always* leave and go find some excitement, but I don't think you will want to. If you're the kind of person who needs constant stimulation, then maybe this isn't the place for you. But if you're craving a break from the chaos, a chance to recharge, and a delicious meal, then Angoori Farm House is pretty much perfect.
