This historic property needs maintenance. We were the only guests there, as it was rented out for a movie shoot, after we had booked.

Maison historique au calme

Lymond house est une maison historique située au calme, dans une rue sans issue. La propriété, qui date de 1855, est magnifique. Elle est meublée avec du mobilier d'époque ; la décoration est particulièrement élégante et la maison sert souvent de décor pour des photos ou des films. Le jardin est verdoyant et très agréable. Le plancher de ma chambre étaient cependant à bout de course et mériterait d'être remplacé. Les suites sont grandes, avec des salles de bain immenses et bien équipées. La literie est confortable. Deeper, le propriétaire, parle parfaitement l'anglais et m'a fourni de précieux conseils pour visiter la région. Il faut en effet sortir du centre ville pour profiter de beauté de Ooty, les attractions du centre-ville étant d'un intérêt limité, à part le musée. J'ai notamment fait une ballade en vélo électrique dans la forêt et la campagne environnantes. J'ai pris le bus pour aller randonner dans les plantations de thé et à la rencontre de la population locale. Le petit-dejeuner est copieux et excellent. Les repas, à commander quelques heures avant, sont faits à demande, frais et délicieux.

Un rappel des Indes d'antan

Dans cette region de montagne ou les journees sont tres fraiches 15 à 17°, cet hotel de style anglais est tres agréable avec un beau jardin.
