Bottom Line

Scenically located on the banks of Loch Tay and surrounded by
picturesque hills and woodlands, the upper-middle-range Kenmore Club is a collection
of quaint, self-catering cottages. The 58 cottages range from one to three bedrooms, have fully equipped stainless steel kitchens, and cream-tone decor. There is a large heated indoor pool on the
property, a tiny fitness center with three machines, and spa facilities, for which non-Diamond club members pay a fee. The on-site bar and
restaurant offer beautiful views over the lake from the floor-to-ceiling
windows, but decor is dated and lackluster. Wi-Fi is available for a daily fee. The neighboring Mains of Taymouth country estate has more stylish self-catering cottages, but its rates are higher.

Scene

Collection of quaint self-catering cottages on the shores of a scenic lake

The Kenmore Club is a collection of quaint self-catering
cottages that sits scenically on the shores of Loch Tay, surrounded by beautiful
wooded hills. An impressive castle-like stone gate greets guests at the
entrance, complete with miniature towers and crenellations. Behind the old
stone walls sits a collection of charming, white two-story cottages with black
trim bordered by grassy lawns and gravel paths that wind neatly throughout
the property. The interiors are simple and functional, though wood paneling all
around the reception area and a sloped ceiling imbue the space with a
chalet-like coziness. The restaurant is a basic, no-frills space whose dated look could use a revamp, but the floor-to-ceiling windows grant gorgeous
views over the lake and hills.The secluded location attracts travelers
seeking to get away and indulge in a dose of nature and the outdoors, and it's particularly  popular with families and groups. A car is necessary, as there is virtually nothing
within walking distance. Water sports enthusiasts will find a variety of
activities on the Loch Tay, such as sailing, canoeing, fishing, and
water-skiing, and there is also a golf course across from the property.

Location

Secluded location on the banks of Loch Tay near the small town of Kenmore

The Kenmore Club is situated on the banks of Loch Tay in
Perthshire, surrounded by picturesque hills and woodlands, with the sprawling
Tay Forest Park right down the road. The area is secluded, with not much
besides a handful of small shops and a post office in the village of Kenmore
that sits on the opposite bank of the River Tay. The property is directly across
from the Kenmore Golf Club and near the Mains of Taymouth, a similar resort
with self-catering cottages -- they're more stylish but rates are higher. The nearest
supermarket is in the town of Aberfeldy, a 15-minute drive away. The Scottish
Crannog Center, an ancient loch-dwelling and one of Scotland’s top heritage sights, is within a five-minute drive of the
property. 

Rooms

One- to three-bedroom self-catering cottages, some with private balconies or patios

windows bring in natural light. All units have separate living
rooms with have flat-screen TVs, DVD players, and iPod docks, as well as
kitchens with dishwashers, fridges, ovens, microwaves, coffee- and tea-making
facilities, toasters, dishes, and cooking ware. Some of the units have washers and dryers. Bathrooms are small, with shower/tub combos,
heated towel racks, and bath products. Wi-Fi comes with a daily fee.

tennis courts (hourly fee for non-members). Some units have washing
machines and dryers, but there are also coin-operated laundry
facilities on-site for guests' use. DVDs can be rented for a fee, and there is also a book
