I chose Butt's Clermont Houseboats to stay at based on the TripAdvisor review and it's website. From the day I called Mr. Butt for booking, we became good phone friends. His way of caring and talking would delight any guest to stay in this place. As Mr. Butt says "this is your home, not a hotel", you will exactly feel... More

My husband and I visited Kashmir in the middle of April 2013, and spent a full idyllic week at Butts Clermont Houseboats. We have always stayed in hotels, and excellent hotels at that while on holiday. This was our first stay on a houseboat and we were rather unsure about the quality of accommodation on offer. But having received excellent... More

We spent 3 nights on the 3 bed roomed houseboat. Great experience and wonderful Kashmiri food. Thanks to Mr. Butt who personally supervises our well being, we had a great time and his butler Ramzan was excellent. Well furnished clean and spacious rooms are suited for royals. However the taxi driver arranged was about 40% more than local. He was... More

If you are looking for a relaxing vacation, you should choose this option. On one side of the boat you have dal lake, with a very nice view and on the other you have a nice lawn/garden. We choose this place because of the lawn and we were not disappointed. The food (taste, choice, personalization etc) and hospitality is amazing.... More

Rustic, charming, butler service, spectacular setting in a quiet corner of the lake. Don't miss this place. The owner, Mr. Gulam Butt, is most charming and might very well greet you with a hug. We stayed in the biggest boat, lovely decor, rustic charm, creaky floors, old, but functional, bathrooms. Ramzana is an excellent butler, loved the cold "Godfather" beer,... More

Butts Clermont represents a genre of Old style legendary Kashmir hospitality that differentiates it from other houseboats. It is not just a houseboat stay but an experience in heritage hospitality. We had elements of Wazwan cuisine in our Dinner, Mr. GM Butt is a charming and affable Gentleman who is able to turn a Hotel experience into a Home away... More

We only stayed for one night in this tranquil place but it was truly relaxing and felt like we had been away for days... The staff are fantastic and served up delicious food to our houseboat, plus looked after all our other needs. We had a lovely trip out on the lake in the morning - with a fantastic boatman... More

A truly sublime experience! My houseboat overlooked the lake and the snow-clad mountains in the distance. It was the beginning of spring in the valley and everything was in bloom. Mr Ghulam Butt is the kindest of hosts imaginable, and Ramzana and the general staff are the finest I have met anywhere in the world. I stayed on the smallest... More
