Views from and around the hotel are spellbinding. On one side there is the River Tay and on the other a panoramic view across Loch Tay and the mountains beyond.
The Poets Bar in the Kenmore Hotel is named as such because in 1789 the famous Scots poet Robert Burns graced this bar with his presence. He was so struck by this area, that he composed a poem sitting on the bridge over the Tay. He wrote the poem in pencil on the chimneybreast of the fireplace in the Poet's bar. The poem is still there to this day.
