The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Really good Culinary Experience

During my stay, I had the pleasure of dining at Sherlock's restaurant, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. The breakfast spread was a good mix of both English and Indian options, including fluffy pancakes, a variety of omelets, and traditional South Indian dishes. Special mention to the chefs, Emma and Kapil, for their attentiveness and care in preparing meals that catered to my family's needs, including infant food for my little one. The overall quality of the food was excellent, and I found myself looking forward to every meal.

Cozy and Comfortable

I was truly impressed by the room's features at Sherlock. Our room was spacious and impeccably clean, complete with a charming fireplace that added a cozy touch to our stay during the chilly nights. The lovely view of the Nilgiri mountain ranges from our room made for a amazing sight every morning. The comfortable bedding and thoughtful amenities made our stay feel like a home away from home.

Immaculate and Welcoming

The bathroom facilities at Sherlock were impressive. It was not only clean but also equipped with all the necessary toiletries. The spacious layout made it feel luxurious, and the hot water system worked flawlessly, which was a blessing given the chilly weather outside. Overall, the bathroom added to the comfort of our stay with its cozy and welcoming ambiance.
