An English country Guesthouse by the Lake

Built by the late Colonel Stanley J Foster, this Tudor-style building is typical of many properties found in Cameron Highlands and Frasers Hill.

It is located on a hill overlooking a large lake and is within 2 km of the lowest Boh Tea Plantation/Estate.

This lake is used in hydro-electric generation and there is a large Tenaga Nasional station nearby. If you are visiting this resort, then you may wish to drive here from KL using the TAPAH route (and not the newer Simpang Pulai route)

Unique Quality: Historical charm, nice gardens, large spacious rooms with four-poster beds and bathrooms come with long baths. During cool days, it is lovely to sit by the fire-side with a book and a snifter of brandy!

I didn't actually stay here, but we did stop to snap some pictures in the gardens. They do serve devonshire tea & scones in the afternoons.

Silting and earthworks further up Cameron Highlands once turned the lake into a mass of brown water. It has since been improved but the condition of the lake is subject to change due to heavy downpours and mud-slides from construction works.

The website mentions that the hotel is currently being refurbished and that the refurbishment should be finished by middle of May 2005. I am sure it will be great when it is completed.

Olde English Charm by a Milky Lake

I stayed in this place in one of my desperate moments in Cameron where I failed to secure a room in my favourite hotel.

Though this place :
1) is some distance away from Brinchang
2)has a lake that looks more like an enormous pool of Teh-Tarik ( Tea Latte ) due to soil erosion.

I'll still recommend it as it's a gd place to stay if you're determined to get away from it all. Honestly, you'll feel as though you've stepped back in time once you step unto the Tudor-style grounds and breathe in the fresh scent of flowers surrounding the mansion.
The rooms are just as archaic. 4 poster beds, grandfather clocks, heavy wooden doors, you get the idea...Of course, the stillness and the quietness will drive you insane if you're a typical city denizen but do try this place when you're there. It's postively LUVERLY ...

Unique Quality: The staff at this place is very friendly. Best thing of it all, is that they'll cook whatever crap you can fish out from the lakes in the region...Oh yes, there is a real fireplace in the living room. You can enjoy the cosy warmth of the place at night and order a hot chocolate or cigar while you're at it. Since I'm asthmatic, the hot chocolate was sufficient.
