Our search for a heritage property to stay in ooty ended at king's cliff which was an ultimate colonial structure, boasting of an European lifestyle. Every piece of artwork and furniture echoed their rustic, pruned, ancient British era.
The small cute villa type stays with a mini lounge , bedroom with a hearth, and a vast dressing cum wash was anybody's imagination.
The glass house for dining and tea with a quaint ball room music surrounded by nature and flowers was icing on the cake.
Nevertheless, what profoundly jolted us was the inhuman way of not providing even a cup of tea to the drivers of the clients. Where will they go after perching on that height. Atleast a minimal of a meal with a proper decent place to sleep should be available.
With a heavy package of stay, definitely the drivers of the clients should be taken care of.
When pets are allowed and taken care of, drivers are not meanial. Or in your heritage stay, should we call them chauffeur,.
