The Lakehouse Cameron Highlands

We loved it here. The hotel arranged our transfer from sungai pelak, with the helpful, friendly Mr M, who was very informative. On arrival we were greeted warmly by reception and also Samantha, we were shown to our delightful room overlooking the terrace and lake and the lovely little fruit shops opposite. All the staff without exception are wonderful. Food was great, we really enjoyed the Sunday roast and the theatre of the baked alaska presentation. We enjoyed freshly baked scones served on the terrace. We had several trips out and around the area, with Mr M who took us to a tea plantation, bee farm, market, lavender farm, all great. We also went to a local butterfly farm which I would not advocate if you care about animal welfare! We wished we could have stayed longer at the Lakehouse.

Fabulous 3 night stay at the Lakehouse. The hotel is calm, peaceful and full of character. The staff are all very friendly and keen to help. Breakfasts also very good. We had a deluxe suite (room 5) with plenty of space and great views.

We stayed in the Foster suite for two nights. We enjoyed staying at the Lakehouse and would recommend this place. The level of service offered by the staff is impeccable and the hotel features a beautifully maintained lawn/garden offering plenty of space to enjoy the views around the hotel. The breakfast offers a good variety of options and as someone who often goes to the gym offers plenty of protein options in addition to the sweet and savoury options provided through the a-la-carte menu. The restaurant space (where the breakfast is served too) is beautiful and much more modern than the rest of the lakehouse’s interior. The food offered in the restaurant was of Ok-to-good quality depending on the dish. We found the burgers (regular and vegetarian) disappointing, largely driven by the paddies. The short rib was an excellent dish however. Yes, like read in the comments, the lake is brown and muddy though this does not downgrade the pleasure of staying at the Lakehouse. Recommendations to enhance the experience of staying at the Lakehouse: - To prevent criticism, I’d recommend the hotel to update the photos to the true view and to remove the photoshopped lake photos as they can only lead to disappointment; - the high tea offered a good variety of sweet pastries, however, we found the savoury options too limited offering only two finger sandwiches. We would recommend to increase this to four finger sandwiches minimum. Moreover, the pastries were not crunchy (fresh) and felt like they were days old from the fridge (thus soft/doughy), this took away our appetite to truly enjoy the high tea. Given the price charged for the high tea, one would expect higher quality. - if I am being very picky: offering every breakfast table its own coffee machine is redundant and causes unnecessary constant noise during breakfast while adding - in my opinion - no additional value to the breakfast experience. I’d recommend asking guests what coffee they would like to order instead.
