About this property

Kenmore 3.7 miles. Kalipé is a charming, contemporary property settled in the countryside of Fearnan near Kenmore. Offering beautiful views of Loch Tay, as well as access to the water, this property is ideal for friends, families, or two couples looking to explore the incredible countryside of Perth and Kinross. Park off-road and be welcomed into a reverse-level property, where you will find both bedrooms on the ground floor. Both beds are super-king-size with one being a zip/link bed, and can be set up as twins on request, the master room has an en-suite shower room, and there is also a family bathroom with a sleek interior. The living space rests on the first floor and is a light and airy room with an opulent feel, offering a well-fitted kitchen, a dining space for hearty meals, and a sitting area with the added bonus of a woodburning stove. From here you can head out onto the balcony to enjoy the fresh air and countryside views with a tipple in hand. Kenmore is a lovely lakeside village offering a convenience store, independent shops, and a selection of pubs and eateries. Ben Lawers and Schiehallion are two neighbouring peaks, and Tay Forest Park has beautiful hikes suitable for all ages and skill levels. With a plethora of pubs and restaurants to pick from, Aberfeldy Watermill Bookshop & Café, and Dewar's Aberfeldy Distillery, which offers tours of a historic 1890s distillery, the town of Aberfeldy is an ideal starting point for your Highland excursions. Cycling, hiking, rafting, and canyoning enthusiasts will find many great activities here. North of your vacation spot is Cairngorms National Park, a breathtaking terrain full of lochs, high summits like Ben Macdui, and miles and miles of hiking and biking trails. While travelling through the area, stop at Pitlochry to visit the Pitlochry Dam Visitor Centre and the Atholl Palace Museum. Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park is also within reach, and other attractions include Kinnoull Hill Woodland Park, the panoramic views from Moncreiffe Hill, and the Black Watch Castle & Museum, Perth Museum & Art Gallery, and the Gothic Scone Palace. 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.

  • Steve

    We liked the attention to detail and choice of appliances. Great to see use of air-source heat pumps for heating. Shame we didn’t stay longer.

  • John

    Very comfortable and beautifully equipped. No heat from the towel radiator meant the towels never really dried properly. Not a big problem if the weather was better.

  • Louise

    A quality property, and would definately come back. Very quiet location and an ideal place to take a step back and chill.
