The Lakehouse, Cameron Highlands

The first impressions of the Lakehouse Resort are of a typical English Tudor country manor house that is beautifully decorated with artefacts. The hotel is full of common spaces like a library and lounges that gives a feeling of staying in a home of a rich English nobleman. The cosy living rooms are perfect for spending quality bonding time and the outside facing terraces for relaxing or feeding on cool mountain air. There is a fireplace in one of the living rooms and I am enticed to use on a chilly night.

Accommodation in the Lakehouse Hotel includes just 19 Tudor style rooms. These are furnished with antique furnishings nicely spread out throughout the room. In the privacy and comfort of the Resident House, the grand Foster Suite affords a traditional old English charm with a log fireplace, intimate dining area and lavish en suite bathroom complete with a sunken bath. The decor of the rooms and suites at the Lakehouse hotel – with open spaces for relaxation – provide a quite delightful experience.

The Lakehouse Restaurant offers English cuisine from the a la carte menu, complemented by an impressive collection of the finest wines available in the Highlands. Enjoy traditional English afternoon tea on the sunny Lakeview Terrace. Relax on comfortable chairs during the day, play badminton on the terrace and take short leisurely walks in the surrounds, listening to old stories about the place. Also visit local farms, rose gardens and tea plantations.

Experience

The Lakehouse Resort organises complimentary guided jungle trekking. Although the trek is only about an hour, it does have steep sections and good walking boots are recommended. The Cameron Highlands is a mystic place steeped in natural beauty with something for everyone. Famed for its scenic view and outdoor activities, the hotel can arrange tour packages to visit Mossy Forest, Farmlands or sightseeing tour.

One More Thing

The ‘Cameron Highlands’ was named after Sir William Cameron who in 1885 discovered a number of plateaus in the area. But it was Colonel Stanley J. Foster who decided to live on one its plateaus and have his own Bed & Breakfast, much enjoyed in his own country – especially in the Lake District and Cotswold. Today, The Lakehouse still retains its colonial charm, a jewel high atop the Cameron Highlands, towering above the majestic and historic area.
