We only stayed here one night, prior to catching the 7.20 am toy train to Ooty. It was an excellent choice for a nights stay. Our emails were promptly answered (always a bonus - www.nandalodge.com) and although we arrived quite late in the evening (just before 10pm), we were warmly welcomed and efficiently booked into our large room.
