Exploring the Enchantment of Coonoor: Chloe Cottage by Lux Unlock

‍

As the sun rises over the rolling hills of Coonoor, painting the landscape with hues of gold and amber, there's a palpable sense of serenity that envelopes you. Amidst this picturesque panorama lies Chloe Cottage, a haven of comfort and tranquility that promises to elevate your experience of the Nilgiris to new heights.

‍

Atop the carpeted tea estates of Coonoor, Chloe Cottage is not just a cottage; it's an immersion into the romance of countryside England, meticulously crafted by one of India's leading luxury interior designers, Gayatri Popat. As you step into this three-bedroom luxury cottage, you're greeted by warm furnished interiors that evoke the charm and elegance of a fairytale.

‍

Each of the three bedrooms boasts ensuite baths, offering the perfect blend of comfort and sophistication. Sink into plush bedding adorned with high-quality floral linens, and let the gentle breeze from the valley-facing balconies lull you into a state of blissful relaxation. The living space is equally inviting, with beautifully curated curios from candles that come in all shapes and sizes, to floral vases with bouquets of pink and white blossoms. 

One of the highlights of Chloe Cottage is its dreamy open-plan kitchen that you are sure to boast about on your Pinterest board. Fully equipped with dainty crockery and glassware, you can choose to use it to the fullest or you can avail the services of a dedicated home chef Patrick and his family who will tantalize your taste buds with authentic local South Indian cuisine, complete with suggested daily set menus that showcase the rich flavors of the region. Outside, a well manicured lawn beckons you to bask in the glory of nature, with an outdoor swing (I have a weakness for those) providing the perfect spot to soak in the breathtaking views. 

The Lux Unlock concierge stands ready to assist you in curating unforgettable experiences in the Nilgiris. Whether it's a guided trek through verdant forests, a visit to a tea plantation, or a leisurely stroll through the quaint streets of Coonoor, the possibilities are endless. We took a guided walk with Zubin Contractor, popular in Coonoor for his immense knowledge on flora, fauna and wildlife. A 30-minute drive took us to the rolling tea gardens and en route Zubin made sure that we were tried and tasted some intriguing local stems and berries. He made us some freshly baked cake that we enjoyed atop the tea estate.
