Cameron Highlands Travel Forum

Hi all,

this is my first trip to CH in 15 years.Have no intention to visit until I read about some interesting and cosy accomodation in CH. I like the styles of B & Bs found in countries such as Australia, UK or NZ etc. I also appreciate the old world English charm. Would like to seek your opinions on the following:

1)Which is a better choice considering my above preferance? Bala's or Lakehouse?

2)I read many reviews of the Lake House. Some good some bad.There are many classes of rooms in Lake House. Has anyone tried their deluxe rooms? Any feedback or reviews?

3)For the same price of deluxe room, I can get a suite in Bala's chalet. Any feedback or reviews on the Raffles suite?

4) Does both (deluxe in Lake House and Raffles in Bala's) come with a long bath? Also, TV with cable?

Apprecate all your help.

Answering my own question now- So that others can refer to this when they search for reviews.

Choose neither.

Bala's sucks in terms of service and room standards. Only a pretty facade.

Lake House is better off internally but dosen't have a good view. The "lake" is a mud pond now. Also, totally out of the way from the 2 main towns. Inconvenient even if you drive.

Skip it. Not worth the money. Looks nice on the outside, view and garden. Sucks on room(smells wet and mouldy) and horrible service. Even the springs on the bed can be played on like a trampoline, can u imagine it! The staff look like i owe them money in the first place.No smiles no hallos no good mornings! Just plain, sour face and look at u as if i'm a theif.
