Sherly Cottages

It is a beautiful property amidst nature. Huge rooms with a very nice verandah. We spent most of our time in verandah. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The rooms are clean and tidy. The washrooms are also big with toiletries provided and geyser is also there for hot water. Electric kettle is not provided. However kitchen is open for you with all items stocked up. Special note of thanks to Mr. Dinesh, the manager who makes your stay so warm and comfortable. We reached before check-in time (2 pm) and Mr. Dinesh was kind enough to get a room ready for us in half hour. He also arranges auto on call. He is very helpful and resourceful. The beach is just a few steps away. It has a really amazing view with perfect sunsets. Coming to food, since it is a small homestay they don't have much options. There is a resort (Magnolia) next to this homestay and they have a active running kitchen and they serve good north Indian food as well. We ate our meals there only on Mr. Dinesh's recommendation. The food was tasty and made as per our taste. We had breakfast included in our booking. It is better to opt for room without breakfast option. For one thing the cook comes at 8 am and we got our breakfast at 9.20 am which is late if you want to go out for some sightseeing before check-out (12 pm). Also breakfast had just 1 item - appam with sambhar and chutney. They made omlette for me on request. But in general in Varkala they provide just a single item in breakfast in bnb. Overall it is a very comfortable homestay located in a quiet and peaceful surrounding with the sound of waves greeting you. A perfect place to wind down!!

Location was difficult to find. Owner didn't help much except sending location. No service from the person. We didn't see any caretaker at stay. Rooms were clean and spacious. Comfortable but no service.

The property is walk able from beach. The room was spacious, bathroom was huge room. The ac worked well. Uncle was sweet. They have a small chair and table put up at the garden. They do not have in house dining. But u have places nearby to eat.

Spacious rooms, cooperative staff. Very near to the beach.
