Delicious Meals

I was pleasantly surprised by the culinary offerings at Sherlock. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the tandoori chicken and paneer. Each meal was well-prepared, and I couldn't resist trying their chocolate brownie with chocolate sauce – simply divine! The chefs truly know how to create a nice dining experience.

My stay at the hotel was quite an experience! The charming setting provides a peaceful getaway, far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city. The themed rooms offered a unique touch that I absolutely enjoyed, while the food was delicious and warming. However, I did notice some issues with sleep quality due to the aging beds and noisy floorboards, so it's not perfect. Overall, it's a lovely place for anyone seeking tranquility and character in their accommodations.
