Situation
Kenmore is a small hamlet located in mid-Argyll and an equidistant 3 miles from the village of Furnace and the town of Inveraray. Kenmore is accessed via a forestry track which leads to the secluded setting where located around a communal meadow are a handful of houses. This unique location affords spectacular views up and down Loch Fyne and across to Strachur on the opposite shoreline.
Nearby Inveraray is a historic 18th century town built on the site of an early fishing village by the 3rd Duke of Argyll. Known as the western gateway to the Highlands and Island, Inveraray offer a good range of local shops and provisions stores including a mid-size co-op. There are also a number of boutique type specialist shops, cafés and restaurants including the Samphire Seafood restaurant which sells mainly locally sourced produce. Inveraray’s famous George Hotel, Scotland’s whisky bar of the year 2025, has an enviable reputation for food and drink as well as hosting regular live entertainment year-round. The world-famous Loch Fyne Oyster Bar is another acclaimed local destination eatery located to the north of the town at the head of Loch Fyne.

The A83 and A82 offer swift access to central Scotland with the closest rail link at Arrochar (25.1 miles) providing access to the main west coastline to Glasgow. Furnace and Inveraray are also served by a bus service offering daily direct connections to Glasgow and to Campbeltown on the Mull of Kintyre; and daily to Oban.
