A pretty house in beautiful gardens. We were not guests here but had heard about the amazing high tea. We were disappointed. Nice scones but no presentation, no real wow factor and falling far short from the "high tea experience". I'd pop along to the Cameron Highlands Resort hotel if you want something special (and cheaper!).

Lovely old English Tudor style building - we had 'high tea' on a misty afternoon - beautilly baked scones and a range of teas from which to choose. Hotel surround by a nice garden. it made a nice break on our afternoon drive!

We wanted to make sure that we will come and have something here at the Smokehouse before we left and we did enjoy the English atmosphere but not the food and the service looks rather tiring,everybody and the whole place needs an upgrade or overhaul,it can still look colonial if they spend some money to re-beautify it,we just pitied the...

This a nice experience. The ambience of the restaurant is complimented by the very helpful and attentive waiters who made our two visits (in 3 x nights) there memorable. My wife and I enjoyed some excellent steak there and beef wellington - accompanied by good wines. Overall the cost was reasonable and I would recommend it for a special occasion.

We stopped in at lunch time and the hotel was very accommodating. We were able to order from both the high tea menu and regular menu. We were stuck because of rain and the hotel was kind enough to lend us a pack of cards and helped us to ring our hotel for pick up

We had dinner at the smokehouse restaurant and the experience was excellent. We got there and were seated on a comfortable sofa besides a fire place and our orders were taken. We were served our drinks while waiting and once the food was being served were taken to our table. The food was excellent, ambience very nice. The only let... More

The smoke house is a colonial Cameron highlands institution and is well worth a visit whether for a full meal, afternoon tea and scones or just a general look! We opted to stop for lunch & thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the garden enjoying such English stalwarts as Beef Wellington, roast beef & Yorkshire pudding, and lamb with black current jelly... More

When in Cameron Highlands, a pause in the day is a must for the quintessentially British tea and scones. We were first welcomed by a bloom of garden flowers that lined the courtyard of the Tudor-style hotel/restaurant. White garden furniture complete with swing and wrought iron gates set the perfect atmosphere for a pleasant break in the day. We were... More

This is a very quaint old english type of pub /hotel, which is situated by the main road between to of the local towns and is a total change from the... More

The Smokehouse was worth seeing but the food is way overpriced and the service not very good. I had sirloin and asked for it well done but it came pink in the middle. Also staff were hoverin all the time which made me feel uncomfortable. Unless you are desperate to try it i would stay go for a drink and... More
