As soon as I arrived to Sherin Cottage the manager Deepak really took care of me, showed me around and made me feel like home. I had a nice, clean room, and I really enjoyed the balcony and the garden, where we had the free breakfast. It was a really friendly atmosphere at Sherin Cottage and you don't feel alone... More

Sherin Cottage is truly a warm and inviting place to stay while in Varkala, my daughters and I immediately felt at home and welcomed as if we were family members. Our host and the manager of Sherin Cottage, Dipak was so gracious and accomodating from day one and throughout our stay. Dipak and his staff ensure that you are taken... More

In febrary 2012 I planned to stay 3 nights at Sherin Cottage but stayed for 10!!!! I had such a good time. It started at the breakfast in the garden socializing with the other guests. It ended up that we spent almost a week together going to festivals, taking daytrips with rented motorbikes and just hanged out at the place.... More

We stayed for three nights and were very happy with the spacious room and cleanliness. Breakfast was a wee bit basic; coffee, 8 slices of toast and 6-7 bananans. This might be due to the place not really having opened properly for the season yet. Enough food to get energy for the short walk to the cliff though. Electricity was... More

We had a wonderful time in Varkala! Me and my wife spent 5 days in Sherin Cottage, as part of our two-month Indian trip. Our double room (top floor on the right) was basic, but the cleaning lady did a pretty good job. There's a nice balcony, and a top-terrace we used to dry our clothes. The back garden is... More

I really don't understand all the amazing and positive reviews this place has got? The reviews I read on a variety of sites prior to booking stated things such as 'free breakfast', 'hammocks in the garden', 'fastest wifi' and 'really clean'. We didn't experience any of these things when we stayed. There is no breakfast, there are no hammocks and... More

The rooms are basic but spotless and there's lots of communal areas and a balcony area. The place is really laid back and breakfasts are eaten in the garden and it's only a few minutes away from the sea. The best thing about the place is the guy who runs it Deepak. He's really friendly and helpful, I arrived straight... More
