    1) Do not take the mountain view room. The garden view room is what you need to take here. 2) The ventilation in the Standard room is a little poor. 3) Only the mountain room and the garden rooms are pet friendly. However, the staff was very accommodating when it came to our requests with the pet. They allowed our pets in the standard room.

    Excellent staff. Extremely warm and welcoming. Bala and David made our stay comfortable. My pets were very happy

    Little more maintenance is needed in rooms and bathroom. The linen needs to be cleaned or changed . Furniture looks old and tattered . Bathroom faucet was leaking . No heater in room in cold weather

    The view from mountain view room are excellent. Rooms are big and well lit . Staff is good and food is lip smacking. Beautiful place overall

    It would be even better if they had Sherlock Holmes books / showed the films. And had the fire lit in the sitting room so you could get cosy around it in the evening. It’s really cold - blankets in rooms would be great.

    Very quirky hotel set in the hills above Ooty. The gardens are immaculate and beautiful and the staff couldn’t be more helpful. The meals were good and the hot water bottles much appreciated.

    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.

    • Leisure trip

    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.
