Beech Cottage

About this property

Kenmore 4.1 miles. Beech Cottage, nestled on the outskirts of Fearnan in Perthshire, enjoys outstanding views of the brilliant, blue waters of Loch Tay. This fabulous, two-bedroom holiday home boasts off-road parking, large, lawned gardens with a fire pit, and a collection of well-presented interiors, this charming home welcomes a family of four or group of sharing friends for a refreshing, fuss-free escape to beautiful rural Scotland. Park up beside your lovely new dwelling, and step inside to be greeted by a well-appointed, open-plan living area. Here, you will find a fully-equipped kitchen complete with all the appliances needed to rustle up delicious, home-cooked dinners, whilst a dining table invites you and your loved ones to savour your meals together as you plan the rest of your trip. You'll find plenty of ways to relax and unwind, whether it's kicking back in the sitting room to enjoy a film on the wall-mounted Smart TV, playing a board game in the snug, or indulging with a dip in the outdoor hot tub as you gaze out upon the loch as the starry night sky begins to appear overhead. You can even take a nice stroll to the private loch beach which is just 500m away. When sleep inevitably calls, be sure to refresh with a dip in the bath before you settle down for a much-needed rest in one of the two plush bedrooms. If you can tear yourself from your peaceful new base, head out to explore your local area. Take a brief stroll to get up close to Loch Tay, which enjoys stunning views of the surrounding countryside, before you set off to discover the many wonders that dwell within the Tay Forest Park, with the historic landmark of Fortingall Yew Tree residing just north. A brief car drive will bring you to neighbouring Kenmore, a small, lakeside village home to the Taymouth Courtyard Shop, which sells homely essentials, The Courtyard Brasserie & Bar where you can fill up with a tasty pub lunch, as well as the idyllic spot of Kenmore Beach and the open-air museum at The Scottish Crannog Centre. Further afield, you can also spend a day in Aberfeldy, a former burgh containing the noteworthy landmarks of St David's Well, Castle Menzies, The Birks Of Aberfeldy, and the famous Dewar's Aberfeldy Distillery, which is a must-visit during your time in the region. All of this and more is yours to enjoy during a stay at Beech Cottage.

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.
