The Tryst

IF you think there’s nothing more romantic that a week sequestered there’s nothing more romantic that a week charming cottage, filled with all sorts of intriguing bits and bobs, stands at 6,000 ft on a sweeping plantation-so expect fantastic views and plenty of great walks. And even if you choose not to leave the cottage at all, the gramophones and toy cars and decade-old jigsaws will keep you busy. Settle into an armchair in the library, play a few games of pool as you sip your drink, or bang out a few tunes on the pianos in the music room. This is exactly where you’d want to be on a rainy day. Visit the nearby tea factory and Sims Park; pick up some of the famed Ooty chocolate.
