Kenmuir Arms, Michelin aspirations, destination positioning, and unique package offerings
Kenmuir Arms: Setting the Standard for Destination Dining in Rural Scotland At Kenmuir Arms, we believe that a great pub is more than just a place to eat and drink—it’s a destination, an experience, and a celebration of the very best our region has to offer. With a 5-star AA rating for accommodation and a reputation for award-winning food, we’re setting our sights even higher: our goal is to achieve Michelin recognition and establish Kenmuir Arms among the UK’s very best pubs
