stay review - the kelso house, ooty

Soumi Paul

Our stay at The Kelso House was an absolute delight. The entire property was picture-perfect, offering a serene and peaceful ambiance. Every corner, from the rooms to the well-manicured lawns, exuded charm and tranquility. The attention to detail in maintaining the property was commendable, making it a truly relaxing getaway. The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming, adding a personal touch to the experience and making us feel right at home. The breakfast options were good, but the à la carte menu could use some improvement, especially considering the price point. While the overall food experience was decent, the flavors could be enhanced. Overall, The Kelso House is a fantastic retreat in Ooty, perfect for those looking to unwind in a beautifully maintained space with a homely atmosphere. Would definitely recommend it for its ambiance, hospitality, and peaceful surroundings!

Best place in Ooty!

We stayed at Kelso for 3 nights in last week of April 2025. The entire experience was excellent. Extremely well maintained clean, calm, serene property. Nice staff, and very welcoming customer centric attitude. If you are looking for a place which is not very loud and crowded, a place to truly relax, this is it! The property has a nice European elegance all through it's ambience and decor. Rest assured you would feel cozy in this small but beautifully maintained property.

Excellent Stay

Kelso house Ooty was a beautiful homestay, newly renovated. The detail to interiors was so good, we stayed in Gold rooms and they were so elegant. The housekeeping team does a great job in cleaning the entire property everyday and the reception team was great too, they were very helpful in answering our questions and helping us out. Breakfast was also very good with multiple options and taste was also very nice. Would definitely visit again and suggest to others

everything that u see in images Is very little tk describe the enchanting aura this place carries. The rooms were very well maintained and spacious. The lawn garden is pure magic. and the staff goes above and beyond to assist u and make you feel homely. A special mention to Shameer who went above and beyond to arrange a special dinner for our anniversary. He is a gem of a person. cannot wait to comeback again to feel this mesmerizing experience

Pleasant stay

We had an amazing experience at Kelso House! The place was very clean, and had vintage English architecture as marketed. Also had a pleasant yard -- flowers, park, swings, and whatnot. The only thing that needs improvement was the breakfast. The options were very limited, especially with relevance to English breakfast. The lack of amenities also set itself back. Overall, it was a pleasant stay! Would recommend it to family and friends..

Excellent Stay
