Ooty|0.57km de Government Botanical Garden
You approach Ooty after a drive through a nature reserve, and up 36 very steep hairpin bends: the town is approximately 2,700m above sea level. The hotel feels like a step into a colonial past: think a very smart version of Portmerion. The weather was kind to us: beautifully sunny and warm, so you could enjoy the grounds (it can get cold and wet up here). The rooms are simple but beautiful and ours had a fire place which we were encouraged to light (it was too warm the night we were there). The complex was quiet, so the restaurant and bar were a bit echo-ey. However, no criticism: the staff were attentive, and the food and drinks where of good quality. It is pet-friendly, and a couple of dogs were certainly enjoying their romp around the garden. They light a garden bonfire at 7pm for those wanting to sit outside: we chickened out and went to dinner instead. It's a wonderful place to stay and wind down: there isn't a great deal to do around Ooty (and we can ***ager it in a day), but it's a very relaxing environment. We loved it!
