We stayed at another hotel in Ooty, but had a meal at Lymond House. The manager Annita was absolutely charming and gave us a tour of the property and rooms. Also she was a mine of information on the history of Ooty and obviously loves the place. The suites give you the feeling of wanting to stay for a long... More

My boyfriend and I wanted to escape the heat and chaos of the cities for a bit. We diverted route up to Ooty without booking anything in advance. Luckily, Lymond House had a room for the night - however, i highly recommend booking in advance. The rooms were clean (there were quite a few horse flies around tho), in the... More

This place is a gem. Beautiful house in lovely gardens along a lane away from the noise and bustle of central Ooty but near enough to walk or get short tuk tuk drive to the centre. We woke to birdsong. We had one of the 3 rooms in the house - charming with views of the garden and a pretty... More

Lymond House where we have stayed on two occasions, could be a truly special place to stay in Ooty if only the owners ploughed a bit more into the property. The three new suites at the back of the main house are beautifully appointed with lovely bathrooms but the three rooms and bathrooms in the main house could definately do... More

We arrived in Ooty on the toy train (of course, this is a must!) and initially went to look at the Savoy - very pricey and no rooms with a view. Back into the autorickshaw and a short hop to Lymond House, in fact just down the road. A charming old house and cottage - we were amazed to note... More

The building is interesting and the rooms are quite comfortable, but the overall cost was relatively high for the privilege of staying in this heritage building. The set menu in the restaurant was average. The hosts were very friendly and polite, however.

Travellers are advised to not make the mistake of paying the full amount for the entire duration of stay as requested by this hotel as no part of this amount is refunded even if a greater than 24 hour advance notice is given for not being able to check in on the scheduled date due to emergencies of any kind.
