    Ooty weather is cold. The bonfire in cottage should be given as complimentary rather than charging for it. As we are already paying a good amount for cottage

    The cottage is beautiful. Scenic beauty. Loved the cottage and nature theme.

    The bedroom and bathroom was bit of a dampener. The bedroom was dark without windows with no sunlight. The room was however very big and spacious, enough for extra bed, plenty of space for movement. It had a nice fire hearth and the staff even offered to lit it for us in the evenings. The bathroom was too big without shower screen, and there was a kind chillness due to the size. The water was hot very early morning but by 7.30am it just about luke warm and taking bath was chilly affair-luke warm water and chillness due to the size of room. Shower enclosure would be the answer and better heating required. They expect 100% advance payment on check-in, bit strange, especially when its exclusive.

    Location was very peaceful, scenic place, hotel kept spick & span, staff very friendly & always smiling & eager to help. Garden was the best, we spent hours on the lawn, basking in sun, reading, chatting and working. Food was high quality, service excellent. Dining was a pleasure here. Reception made it smooth for us and were ever helpful. I have to appreciate service of Mr Bala at reception who was very helpful always, Mr David, senior steward very seasoned, experienced, smiling taking care of us, Mr Hasmath Ali, youngster, steward, very mature for his age smiling and served us well and Mr Ashok, housekeeping, for his ever helpful nature, attended to all our requirements and more. Service overall is 100% with well trained staff

    Sherlock is a really pretty and quaint property just a few mins way from the bustling main town of Ooty. We really enjoyed our short stay here, the room was clean and with all necessary facilities, the team members Bala, Ashok and even the cleaning lady who made our room including the other team members on property were extremely warm and accommodating. The food is excellent as well, we enjoyed our evening tea and snacks along with dinner too. Overall a fantastic city getaway for peaceful staycation.

    It was early March, and the nights were rather cold but they would not light the lovely fireplaces in the house or in the rooms. I can't see why, because it would cost them practically nothing to do it, firewood in Ooty must be practically free! It would have definitely added to the ambience of the place if they lit the fire in the living room or the restaurant at least, which were really cold especially since they seem to be in the habit of keeping all the doors open. I would definitely have fallen in love with this place if they had not bee (in my opinion at least) so stingy with lighting the fires. The rooms were a little shabby, with yellow sheets, even though they did seem to be fresh. The furniture and curtains also seemed not to be rather old and not to have been polished in a long time and were like your grandma's old furniture that you might inherit but want to really polish and varnish before you put them in your house. The curtains were definitely rather dirty. Definitely this place could easily charge 1.5 times more if only they gave the building and the furniture some TLC. They also were kind of stingy with changing me to a room with a veiw of the garden even though I could see that there were several rooms empty.

    The garden was wonderful - just gorgeous in fact and the view of the hills was lovely. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They gave me a heater and it was really helpful. The restaurant was great, they would ask you what you wanted for dinner so that they could prep it and be ready for you when you wanted to eat - which was very nice of them - I didn't take advantage of this kindness and so had to wait quite a while for dinner to be ready for me after I got to the restaurant. So do take them up on the offer when they ask. The breakfast was wonderful, although they could extend it upto 10:30 rather than just 10am if you asked me. Definitely the staff deserve a special mention for their service and helpfulness!
