The Forest and lake by Schofieldshire

Had a great time in this place
Everything was perfect customer service and the food were really great. I’ll recommend this for everyone
Thank you so much “the Forest and lake” for your service

We had a very nice time at the hotel and the rooms were very comfortable and clean. The staff is very friendly and helpfull. We were served with yummy meals and. They helped us a lot to handle with our little son.highly recommend. The place is very attractive.

I booked the best room in the hotel "the oak" The verst hotel that i have been to, I booked it for 3 nights and 4 days, and stayed only for 15 hours.there was no water, and when complained to the owner, he gives excuses but not actions. When water comes, its full of mud, taps doesnt work properly, Jacuzzi doesnt operate. When one taps opens no water comes from other taps. Leakages all over the bathroom. Disgusting.

The room is big and seems okay, but it hasn't been cleaned for ages, i think this is because guest doesn't come frequently.

The road to the hotel is as bad as hotel.

The food is a another mess, for dinner rhey only had boiled potatoes and carrots. The breakfast is good as the hotel.

I strongly recommend NOT to book this hotel at any cost. The way the so called owner handle matters depict the state of the hotel, doesnt consider about the customer at all, no courtesy atleast to apologies

Very very bad.

I would have rated it with 5 stars if the tail end of the road is ok to drive and you can get lost specially when you drive in the night.
Nice and enjoyable, you are on top and you see all what is beneath in all directions and remarkably you can unload all your tension and negative emotions.

Had a great time here. Staff is very friendly and supply all what they can provide. Food are tasty. If you are nature lover, you can hear the sound of breeze during the night. Climate is very cool here. So, ready for that before visit there. Location os somewhat far away from the city.
Best thing here is the staff. ️

Had a great time spending a day at the villa. The indoors are spacious and the staff was very firendly. The food was delisious as well and could arrange on our need. Highly recommond a stay overnight!

Best scenery I’ve ever seen in Nuwaraeliya. Interior is soooo romantic. Just love this place. And pets allowed too. That’s the fun part. Recommend by me. ️

The Forest and lake is an elegant boutique hote nestled in the lush forests of Horton Plains, Nuwara eliya, that boasts of serenity and unparalleled charm

Very friendly service, preparation of requested menu was totally Srilankan.tastefully cooked.
Special mention of Pradeep who was very active.attended to t.willinglyy

Room was not shown in the web site. Dirty walls due to wet patches. Heater is not working. Lake view blocked by newly building villa. Food was nice and mid range. Very noizy when there is visitors in near villas.

Please find my experience below. Then you can decide whether you can go or not.

1. The roads to the hotel from the main road is very bad. If you are going to the hotel by car and if you love your vehicle you have to think twice.

2. There was no Wifi in that resort and Peo TV also not working. So if you like to watch the tv, you have to watch the local channels

3. There was no card payment as well.
Therefore we had to go to the town to withdraw money to settle the payment

4. It is far from Nuwara-eliya town. You have to go around 8 -10 Km on Ambewala road

5. Hotel rooms and the bathrooms are good. There is a bath tab as well.

6. But the view from the room and resort is not as expected. There are little houses in the surroundings.you can see only those houses from the resort. There is a lake. But the view of that lake has been covered by another building which is made recently.

7. The staff was very friendly. Specially Athula. Who did everything for us and took care of our 1-year baby as well.

8. The garden of the resort is beautiful.

9. Regarding food, There is nothing special. They will give you 2 or 3 choices like (rice, string hoppers, Rotty) and they will provide which you are selecting. All foods are just like as we are making at home. Also, there is no special dessert or anything.
One good thing they made some food for our 1-year baby as well.

From my experience, I think that it is not worth for the money which we are providing.

Nice place.
They will rip you off with the cost of food in a way you have never experienced. Whatever rations you take, they claim its exhausted after providing 1 Meal/ one round.
Please be mindful when you reserve on the basis where food is prepared by them from the rations you provide.
On the other hand, If you request them to provide rations for 1 basic meal, they will charge you an exorbitant killer cost where you could prepare same for atleast 1/3 of the cost they charge.
We had to cut short our stay as they claimed food stuff has run out all the time at all the meals

An Eye opener, if you expect a client to patronize you again.

One of best boutique hotels in Nuwaraeliye. It's one hour away from Horton Plains. Staff is very friendly. Food was delicious. It's worth what you paid for. Rooms has extraordinary views. Piduruthalagala mountain range can be seen from one end and from the other end, Kandeela reservoir can be seen.

The worse possible place to stay. They would promise one thing and then do something totally opposite. Bcz of that reason we left the place even without staying the night. The heaters are not working toilet bidet shower once open dont stop spraying water. We were told that the common place would be given to us and we can use it and do anything and a fire would be done and we can sing and shout anyway we want then after booking they said only after 9pm they can give it to us they just wasted our time. Also the person was asking for smoke from us and didn't know how to treat the customers. Dont book the place its a waste of time and money. Also they took 4k bcz we left bcz of there unethical conduct.

What a wonderful place to stay! Rooms are well maintained and nicely arranged. LOVED THE FOODS. All the staff are very helpful and friendly! I will highly recommend this place for others to stay!

The rooms are spacious but the one we got did not have a view at all. Food & services were okay.

The view was beautiful around the hotel, but this was probably best part of the whole experience. As soon as we arrived into our room, they opened the windows to what it seems they let every single mosquito into the room. This place doesn't have an air conditioner. If it is going to be rated 5 stars, then it should probably have one in each room. There was mold on all of the walls, and there was also greenish-black mold under the wood by t

Great views and service. Only negative was that it was a little cold due to surrounding climate and heating was a little weak but okay once you got underneath the bed cover. Dress warm. Overall, very high quality double King room.

A nice hideout in Nuvara Eliya. Staff is very polite and listens to instructions. This is away from town center, so recommended if want to live a little away from the hustle. Food is homely, which I love since I like eating simple when traveling.

Fantastic place to stay. Best hospitality service by staff. Amazing view of mountain landscapes. Cool and quiet.
