Kinloch Rannoch grew from a tiny hamlet in the mid 18th century under James Small who had served in Lord Loudon’s Regiment and which consisted of discharged army soldiers and crofters who had lost their land. Roads and bridges were improved to allow ease of movement for soldiers at the nearby Rannoch Barracks. The Sleeping Giant is a hill near the village said to resemble the upper body of a man and local legend states the giant will awake upon hearing his master’s flute playing. The main activity today is tourism and Kinloch Rannoch is ideally located for walking, sailing and angling. The small market town of Aberfeldy is close by and boasts a cinema, leisure centre, restaurants and shops. The town is also the setting for scenes in the Outlander TV series. The tourist town of Pitlochry is also nearby and provides many shops, cafes and restaurants as well as the famous Pitlochry Festival Theatre boasting a different show every night of the week.

We did arrive a little early at 3.50pm, cleaning was not complete by this time and was advised to be nearly done no more than an hour. We went off for a little explore and returned an hour later to find it was still not done, the housekeeper was helpful though and kindly said that we could still take in our belongings etc which was most appreciated. I noticed that another recent visitor had a similar issue with the property not being ready at the arrival time, perhaps the given arrival time should be delayed if it is a regular issue or the arriving guests be contacted on the day to let them know there is a bit of a delay - understandably its a very large property to maintain but after a long day travelling it is not great to find it not ready on time when you just want to get in and settled for the evening.

Unfortunate that the cleaners were still there when we arrived after 5PM when the property should have been available by 4PM. Duvet cover found with blood stains on it when retiring for the night requiring us to change the linen from another bed. It is asked that owners of animals remove faeces from the garden area which we did however, there was lots of evidence that others had not bothered. This may be due to the requirement of some garden maintenance. These things aside we had an excellent week.
