Reviews and Testimonials
The Forest Motel and Woodland Retreat centre has undergone extensive changes over the past 6 seasons. Each year our repeat visitors have anticipated new changes to the property and buildings and we have not disappointed. Now, entirely refreshed, we invite you to experience this special place here in Stratford.
The Forest Motel & Woodland Retreat has received a number of nominations for the Helen Kirkpatrick Award for Hospitality and was Stratford's Tourism hospitality winner in 2010.
