“Sherly Cottages offers a peaceful retreat steps from Varkala's beaches, where the verandahs and natural setting stand out. While the breakfast is basic and served late, the manager's attentiveness and the proximity to Magnolia resort's dining make it easy to settle in. I found the quiet location ideal for unwinding to the sound of the waves.”
