We had one of the rooms in the garden, which was very nice with lovely views. Very decent size with everything we required. The main building itself is very querky and laid out like a British country house. The staff were very nice and very helpful. The food in the restaurant was very very good. I would recommend The Sherlock if you find yourself in Ooty. Bring your own beer though as they dont have a bar. One of the staff David was a great help on this and arranged for beer to be delivered to the hotel for us.

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

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.

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.

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.

Rajat Mathur5/521 hours ago on  Google Sherlock's is a great place to have vacation and good times with your family or friends.They have variety of rooms for the purpose as well.Pet owners can have Garden view or Valley view cottages/rooms and their is plenty of space for their morning and evening walk and relieving routine.They do provide pet food but I preferred steamed rice and curd bowl as I was carrying Pedigree gravy sachets. Rooms and cottages are clean well maintained and the best part is their garden and lawn which is lush green and has plenty of beautiful flowers.Its a paradise for photography lovers.Food menu is short and simple with selective items across Asian/Indian cuisine but you can ask for our of the menu specially curated items as well like we requested for simple Sambhar Rasam Papad meal one night after having Asian and continental continuously for 2 days. Now about their breakfast spread,its the best thing that can happen early morning and sets the right beginning to your day.The spread is well thought and changes each day with lots of items on the serving while you can request for hot dosa's and variety of omelettes as order to prepare items (included in buffet). They also arrange for bonfire,snacks during evening time on request and charge basis while drinks/smoke you can carry your own. Staff is well trained to take care of customers and everyone is polite and ready to take care of you.Special mention of Bala the property manager and Mr David the resturant day time care taker who were very helpful in making sure we had a memorable vacation.

One star less for reachability.The way to hotel is bit challenging with very narrow and steep roads at some places which gets tough if another vehicle comes from opposite side.

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

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.

exemplary staff - V good food- comfortable n clean rooms- modern bathrooms. lovely garden to bask in the sun. i hate to take names so i won’t but everyone down to the cleaning lady are so customer oriented and pleasant.

approach road v narrow- difficult for suvs when car comes from opposite side. ok in daytime but restricts movement to the town at dark.

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

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

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.

The view, the Staff, Mr Krishna was checking in often to ensure we were comfortable. The guys behind Sherlock also own other places in Ooty, Earl’s and Le Cafe and food everywhere is excellent. The cottages were cute , with a well ventilated fireplace , and very comfortable for a couple.

The approach road is a bit narrow and last stretch is a bit bad. We had a cab, so it was ok. Even the Cab Driver said he would not like to take that one in rains. We had to do two upgrades. Online you don’t come to know that the Mountain view room is outside the property, with nothing around it, so definitely the Garden view are better. All beds are queen beds, and I am 6’4” so had to take extra bed even with a 3yr toddler.

Wonderful stay at Sherlock. The ambience was superb. Rooms were also clean and well maintained. Staff members were very helpful and friendly. Would certainly recommend it to friends and family.

Access was an issue as the road was quite narrow and untarred at places.
