There is simply so much to be explored from Kalipé.
The village of Kenmore sits at the eastern end of Loch Tay where the River Tay flows out of the loch and dates from the 16th century. Originally built on the north side of the river, the village was moved in mid-sixteenth century to accommodate a castle being built on the north shore. The relocation gave the village its current name reflecting its position on a large headland: Kenmore – ‘large head’ in Gaelic. It is Loch Tay that makes Kenmore such a popular tourist draw today with the many watersports, fishing, hillwalking and cycling activities on and around the loch. Why not visit the Scottish Crannog Centre and discover an ancient way of life in a reconstructed thatched house on stilts? Built on the loch and able to repel danger with the aid of a retractable gangway, these houses provide a fascinating insight into ancient civilisations. The village has shops, a couple of hotels and a restaurant and with the attractive towns of Aberfeldy, Pitlochry and Dunkeld nearby, the tourist is very well provided for. The area is famous for its truly spectacular scenery and whether you are on the water, in the hills or in the shops, Kenmore can provide a stunning backdrop to a very pleasant break.

All in all very impressed with quality of furnishings. After reading previous reviews the owners have obviously taken on-board several of the suggestions made which shows a willingness of care by the property provider.
Douglas
Having the wood burning stove was handy as we had -7c temperatures. A few constructive suggestions Some sort of mat or rug in front of the stove to protect the carpet. ?Curtains for main lounge window in winter (insulation) The extractor fan in the ensuite lets in cold air, so it is cool and we used the main bathroom.
Paul
Design and layout worked very well. Highly recommended.
