OUR MISSION

We aim to be the most rewarding luxury self-catering experience in Perthshire, where contemporary standards and modern comforts blend seamlessly with traditional values. We have won award for our outstanding levels of service and beautiful holiday homes. 

Mains of Taymouth has gone through a remarkable transition over recent years, and now offers the experience of a wonderful selection of luxury self catering cottages, lodges and houses, whilst retaining the atmosphere of a country retreat.

Mains of Taymouth nestles by the edge of Loch Tay in Kenmore, a delightful part of Highland Perthshire in Scotland, convenient for Perth and all main routes.  It sits quietly in the riverside country village setting, not far from some of the very best tourist attractions and towns in Scotland – including Pitlochry, Blair Castle and the House of Bruar.  The great Taymouth Castle Golf Course is only a few minutes away and our own hidden gem, The Mains of Taymouth Golf course (previously known as Kenmore Golf Course), is on our doorstep.

OUR STANDARDS

Real Freedom, Real Luxury, Real Scotland!

Luxury, award winning, 4 and 5 star self-catering holiday homes amidst some of the finest scenery in Scotland. 

The independence of a self catering cottage or stunning new house with the facilities of a country house hotel: a new kind of luxurious ‘small is beautiful’ holiday complex which makes an ideal family or leisure break or a romantic retreat.  Mains of Taymouth is a family run 120 acre estate set in an area of outstanding natural beauty in the heart of Scotland, less than two hours drive from Edinburgh, Glasgow and Inverness.  Over the years we have built up an amazing portfolio of 24 self-catering properties, all of an exceptional standard and furnished with a great eye for detail, style and individuality.

All our houses are presented in pristine condition with fresh linen and towels in every room.  Here at Mains of Taymouth, we have an exceptionally high standard of housekeeping and never compromise on our levels of cleanliness.  Hot tubs are fully drained and cleaned after every departure and re-filled for all new arrivals.
