The Forest and Lake by Schofieldshire

Positive Check in was quick, our room was on the ground floor by reception. The bed was comfortable enough. The vegetable curry they made for us was delicious. The staff that were on duty were really nice and helped where they can. Negative This definitely isn’t a 5* hotel as advertised. It’s more like a 3 or 4* homestay/ bedsit at best but it’s not a hotel. Our view was some of the village/mountain but mainly a roof, it was howling outside. There was heating in the room but not in the dining or area where you can chill. Because it seemed we were their only guests, they didn’t have much on the menu but they did rustle up a good veggie curry and an egg sandwich the breakfast box. In terms of prices of food, it was all in dollars and I thought it was on the pricy side (example: Fries was $10). The floor was slippery as they said they had polished it. The Bathroom was clean enough, toilet was broken, no mirror (you can see where it was), there was dirt and mould in small areas and the hot water didn’t work. We didn’t take a shower and left early the next day as scheduled. There air was damp, bed frame was broken and rickety, for me it was soft and comfy once I settled but my friend wasn’t comfortable at all! You cannot get Wi-Fi in the lounge were the fire place was. It was also cold but because of the wind, they could switch on the fire. It’s in the middle of nowhere, so ensure you have a car.

i very good experience . as it is hidden in top of hills in nuwara eliya. thank you for the staffs they were very kind. and breakfast is amazing. and no words to explain about there food. everyone should experience this hotel.

I booked thI 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.e 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.
