Best place in Ooty!

Ketan Damle

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
