The Homes (Holmes) of Sherlock |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sherlock
- Ooty
The winding road that takes you uphill doesn't let you steal more
than little glimpses of the spectacular beauty below. Once you're up
there, apart from the perpetual mist-sprayed air around you, what
you see below is a valley enclosed by hills on all sides. From what
was an exclusive, privately-owned summer mansion during The Raaj,
Sherlock, more than a century later, still stands in its original
architectural splendor as if mocking the concept of age & time.
The Victorian elevation, the old-school brick chimneys rising out of
every room, all give a glimpse of what London would've looked like
in the late 1800s. With the refurbished lawns, the entire ambience
to make it what it really is - Holmesian.
The expansive Sherlock mansion has a spacious
main-interaction area, reading room & an activity space that
leads to 9 spacious rooms (each named after a Holmesian adventure)
and 2 dining rooms, one of which has a sunroof to thaw you out while
you do breakfast. The rich Victorian mantelpiece &
furniture are the exact same ones that adorned the mansion a century
ago. Close your eyes and you'll probably feel Dr. Watson pacing in
front of the fireplace while Mr. Holmes calmly ponders in an
armchair. All the 9 rooms also have fireplaces, and an
atmosphere that's as mysterious as romantic.
What's a complete holiday without a great
culinary experience? The menu at Sherlock boasts of a variety of
cuisines at breakfast, lunch & supper. Ask the chef for the
day's specials or try a new dish laced with exquisite herbs &
spices. Enjoying a nice cup of tea at the lawns overlooking the
valley too, is an absolute must-do activity. The dining room is
named after Irene Adler, the notable lady that Mr. Holmes once
acknowledged as being 'the perfect woman'.
At Sherlock, there's so much to do for everyone (or not to do, depending on how you prefer your holidays!). Lounge around in the mansion that takes you on a journey of Mr. Holmes life through photographs, books & excerpts. Or you could bask in the mellow sun in the lush lawns, take a quiet, calm stroll downhill, explore a tea-estate, go hose-riding, fishing or even an open jeep jungle ride. The more adventurous types can chose to trek uphill to the tallest point in Tamil Nadu or even ride there on horseback. Sherlock, although isolated from the hustle-bustle, is just a hike away from all the regular tourist destinations in Ooty.
The rooms are aptly named Deluxe Rooms : Black Peter, Gloria Scott, Baskervilles, Three Gables Luxury Rooms : Beryl Coronet, Dancing Men, Copper Beeches, Blue Carbuncle, Six Napoleons
