It is really a beauty as all of you describe! I would recommend to the management to install electrical heating (aircon or other) in the bathroom and in the room. There is no heating in the bathroom. The rooms have only a fireplace which cannot provide the necessary heat especially during the winter. But all other is perfect! Nice rooms,... more

Really its one of the best experience I had. Though I have visited OOTY around 30 times this visit is very different one because of this resort. Really the place where you stay during the vacation will make all the difference. For me staying in a hotel in the city wont be a nice one but staying in a resort... more

This beautiful colonial villa set atop a hill with breathtaking views was the best hotel we stayed at during our two week trip through South India. The rooms (Rs. 1875 to Rs. 3000 depending on size and view) are elegant, cozy, and immaculate with private fireplaces. The warm and friendly staff are very professional and helpful and had our fireplace... more

This hotel was like a treasure hidden in the Hills of Ooty. With only 9 well maintained rooms, and a very decent and disipline staff, and personalised treatment, you feel on the top of the world...litterally, as this one is on the way to the Tiger Hill (the highest peak of Ooty) and is away from the commercialised ooty's noise.... more

We went for a weekend getaway to Sherlock. Ooty could not have been more beautiful than what we experienced since it was raining when we reached. The drive from Bangalore without a stop lasted for exactly 5 hours. Before heading to Sherlock we stopped at Shinkows for lunch at Ooty -- a chinese restaurant which has been around for almost... more

How often we feel that the vaccum in our life is stemming out of our busy schedules,travel and work presuures.I for sure know that some of my family and friends who accompanied me to Sherlock felt the same. However....as soon as we hit the portico of this little hidden jewel in Nilgiris, the world changed.I actually saw men become boys... more

We stayed for 2 nights in Sherlock at Ooty. The room was very nice and clean. The staff were very efficient and always helpful. The best thing about the property is the fantastic view of the valleys from the place. Unimaginable view and very quiet and serene considering they are only a few kilometers away from the hustle and bustle... more

Having spent most of my time traveling, it is difficult to find a hotel which lives upto your expectations in all aspects. Sherlock is truly an exception to this. There is literally no aspect of hospitality that has been overlooked by the management in this little cocoon and the list just goes ON. As per me the biggest asset with... more

Breathtaking -- The entire experience is one I will never forget. Sherlock hotel is a small few rooms property located up the hill from the main crossing - charring cross in Ooty. From the apprpoach it is hard to guess what we will find there...but you will really be amazed to see this hotel perched on top of a hill... more
