Bala cottage -budget stay in "centre of ooty"

Two rooms in a private cottage on 3rd Woodcock Road place guests within walking distance of Ooty's botanical gardens and the main bazaar, one of the Nilgiris' most central residential addresses for budget travellers.

The cottage includes a terrace with hill views, a private bathroom with shower, and a dining area with table — practical for self-sufficient stays. A flat-screen TV and free parking round out the basics, and the property is fully smoke-free.

Ooty's toy-train station and Charing Cross market hub are reachable on foot in under ten minutes. The Woodcock Road neighbourhood sits above the lake district, giving the terrace its elevated city outlook without the noise of the commercial strip below.
