We stayed at The Forest and Lake by Schofieldshire for two nights a couple of months ago, and it was a peaceful and relaxing experience. The hotel is located on a hill, with a beautiful lake just below the road, offering scenic views and a calm atmosphere. Do note that the road leading to the hotel can be a bit challenging if you’re driving a vehicle with low ground clearance. The hotel is fairly isolated, making it a perfect getaway spot if you're looking for quiet and solitude. One of the highlights of our stay was the presence of a few friendly cats that roamed around the property and kept us company. The garden was another lovely feature beautifully maintained with a swing chair for relaxing and a small section where vegetables are grown. As for the meals, the portions were generous and reasonably priced. Since the hotel is quite secluded, dining in is the most convenient option and thankfully, the food did not disappoint. Overall, The Forest and Lake by Schofieldshire is a charming and tranquil place, ideal for those who want to unwind away from the hustle and bustle.
An Unforgettable Experience – Heartfelt Thanks to Oniza and Team This was an absolutely amazing experience for my friends, as they expressed with so much joy. All credit truly goes to Oniza, who arranged everything exactly as I requested — making this a special surprise gift for my dear friends. From start to finish, Oniza handled every detail with such care and professionalism, especially the beautiful decoration that made the moment even more meaningful. The attention to detail and the genuine hospitality of the entire team really stood out. They ensured every moment of my friends’ stay was both comfortable and memorable. On behalf of Chethu and Chanuka, who stayed on 12th July 2025, I extend a heartfelt thank you to Oniza and the entire team. Your efforts created lasting memories, and we are truly grateful!
I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel, and it was a truly delightful experience. The hotel garden is well maintained, creating a serene and relaxing atmosphere. The view from the garden is absolutely breathtaking, making it a perfect spot to unwind. The room and bathroom were impeccably clean, adding to the overall comfort of our stay. One of the highlights was the hot water jacuzzi, where we had a fantastic and relaxing time. The food and beverages were delicious, with a variety of flavors that made our dining experience even more enjoyable. As a small suggestion, it would be great if a small toothpaste could be provided in the bathroom for added convenience. Additionally, we noticed that the bedside lamps and heater were not functioning, which could be looked into for a better experience. Overall, our stay was wonderful, and we truly appreciate the hospitality.
