Waterfall Cottage
Kenmore, Perthshire

Restaurants and Food:
Nearby there�s an interesting organic food shop at the quaintly named village of Dull, a farm food shop in Aberfeldy, and Castle Menzies Farm has a magnificent selection of new world wines. At Kenmore the little post office and store keeps all the basics and is open 7 days a week. In the immediate area there are restaurants at Ardeonaig, down the loch from Achianich, and at Weem and Fortingall, both near Aberfeldy.

Accommodation:
Waterfall Cottage sits on the edge of the Achianich burn, the deck is just above the little waterfall. Although from the outside the timber walls and corrugated iron roof may make the cottage look traditional, this is no bothy - inside you'll be struck by the modern design and attention to detail to ensure your utmost comfort.

The cottage has a high-ceilinged, open-plan kitchen-living room with lots of glass and a log-burning stove, a north-facing bedroom with big airy mountain views, and a generous bathroom with bath and shower. The decoration is simple - fresh white sofas, mixed with striped ticking and checked fabrics, and vintage linen from Hungary. The day bed, with its carefully positioned window, is a wonderful spot to relax with a glass of wine and gaze across the loch to the mountains. There is a flat screen TV, DVD player and hi-fi with i-pod and data port. Plus plenty of books, magazines and games, and DVD movies. Outside on the deck there's antique French garden furniture, deck chairs and a table to sit at on a summer evening and watch the sun go down.

In the bedroom, the fabulously comfy twin beds can be cleverly zipped together to make a king size double. The fine linen is from the White Company (who shot a Christmas catalogue here) and they also supply the white waffle dressing gowns and toiletries. There is good cupboard space, a hair drier and alarm clock.

The bathroom is well stocked with White Company soap, shampoo and conditioner, shower gel and body lotion; a heated towel rail, shaver socket, plenty of loo rolls, a sewing kit and a box of all those useful things you forgot to pack. The kitchen is white and modern with deep work surfaces and soft close drawers. There's everything you'll need from Neff hob and oven, fridge and dishwasher to mini Magimix, even lobster picks and an oyster knife.

Directions:-
Waterfall Cottage is just two hours' driving from Glasgow airport, fractionally less from Edinburgh. There are railway stations at Pitlochry and Dunkeld, on the main Inverness line, both within about 45 minutes' driving. The city of Perth is one hour's drive to the south, Inverness two hours to the north.

From the A9 take the A827 to Aberfeldy. Through the town and continue west on the A827 for about 6 miles until you come down hill towards Loch Tay where the road takes a very sharp bend to the right. Do not turn right, but go straight across the junction onto the narrow road that's facing you. This is the South Loch Tay road and it follows the side of the loch due west. Follow the road for 2.2 miles until you are almost at the top of the hill. Turn right into the wide gateway which has a sign saying Rock House.
