Lovely little stay on the quiet side of Ooty
Pros:

Loved the location. On the quiet side of Ooty. Lovely church right in front and close to the Botanical Garden too.

The rooms and beds were pretty comfy and spacious. Having a pool table in the common room with loads of books was a nice touch too.

Cons:

Breakfast options could have been better.

Bathrooms are decent enough, but water pressure could be an issue.

The reception desk isn't manned with regularity. Often had to ring the ball or call the housekeeper for any inquiries. I should clarify, however, that he was really helpful on all fronts.
