Great House

A fantastic house in a brilliant location. We had a lovely weekend at Aldersyde last weekend. The house is so comfortable, its like a home from home. Bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, living room is lovely and cosy, bathrooms are gorgeous and the games room was great. The kitchen and utility have everything you need and there is so much fridge space. Loads of crockery and glassware and plastic glasses for outside. The deck area is spacious and comfortable and the views there are spectacular. The hot tub was great too. Cannot wait to return here, was such a relaxing and fun weekend

Lovely house in great location

The house was spacious with good facilities and very comfortable. Only 200m from the beach and a walk to the village with shops, cafe. Lovely walks from the house and lots to do. Terrace and garden great.

Another excellent stay

This is our 2nd visit to Aldersyde. Lovely big house, superb views and close to lovely coastal walks for our 2 dogs. Katie is very welcoming and leaves lovely touches like wine, tablet and fresh flowers on arrival. House is very clean and has lots of extras like games and books. Brilliant base for touring area, safe garden for dogs and children

More instructions needed

House was very comfortable and very well equipped (especially for children) but we could have done with better and fuller instructions for operating the induction hob, the ovens and the heating.
Response from VrboOwner on 23 Oct 2025
Thanks for your feedback. We're glad you found the house comfortable and well equipped. We’re a bit surprised and disappointed by the overall rating, given it’s a spacious 4-bedroom villa with sea views, a large private garden, and great value at under £200/night for 7 guests and a dog staying during the school holidays. We’ll improve the appliance instructions, but do note you had direct contact with the owner and could have easily requested help with a quick call.

Just what we needed

Well. What can we say? Aldersyde was such a wonderful home away from home. We walked in to a warm and cosy house. It didn't have that holiday let feel. You felt you were being welcomed into a home. The house was clean and tidy, had everything we needed for a comfortable 2 week stay. The beds were really comfortable with lovely bed linen, plenty of loo roll which is a rarity in holiday lets and ample cleaning products for the two weeks. Lovely, well appointed bathrooms. The pool room was great for the teenagers. The games room entertained on the odd soggy morning. The location was perfect, near to the pier for fishing (lovely mackerel for tea as a result) and great walks from your doorstep. We've fallen a little bit in love with the area! We definitely stay at Aldersyde again. We didn't want to leave.

We loved staying at Aldersyde. Amazing views, we had brilliant weather and lived on the outside balcony with stunning views over the Kyle of Bute, often whilst sat in the hot tub! A beautifully appointed house that was really well suited to our extended large family, excellent spacious living areas which were very well equipped and in excellent condition. Thank you for an amazing stay in your wonderful home.

Living in a Dream

Very impressed with the facilities and location. We have stayed in many Hotels around the world, but as a self catering unit this ticked all the right boxes in comfort and speciousness

beautiful house in beautiful location

My family and dogs had a fantastic week in this gorgeous house. We went in late September and the weather was glorious- perfect for taking in the sites and dog walking. We took practically everything we needed so didn’t need to use the local shops for much but they were well stocked if you did need or forget anything. Can’t wait to go back next year.

A perfect family holiday house

We stayed at Aldersyde for 3 weeks and could not have been happier. We arrived to find the house was beautifully clean and filled with flowers, a welcome bottle of wine on ice and some Scottish fudge! Aldersyde is cosy and perfect for a family with children of all ages. The youngest spent all their time in the garden on the adventure park and the older children and loved the pool and table tennis. All this as well as a separate play room filled with games, puzzles, books and videos for the young ones on rainy days. The bedrooms were cosy and comfortable and the bathrooms excellent. There was lots of cupboard space. The kitchen had neatly everything we needed and was very easy to keep tidy. It was lovely to have the main sitting room off the kitchen so we could chat while cooking. We were lucky enough to be able to make good use of the deck and the view from here is gorgeous! Our hosts came and gave the house a total clean and change of bed linen in the middle of our stay and once again left it looking beautifully clean and filled with flowers. We all loved our stay at Aldersyde and were sad to leave.

Beautiful well equipped cottage

Aldersyde is a beautiful cottage in a great location. The 3 double bedrooms and 1 twin room comfortably catered for the 7 adults that were staying there. Both the downstairs shower room and bathroom have recently been refurbished to a very high standard. Again there was plenty of kitchen, dining and living space for the 7 of us. There is a secure garden which would be perfect if you had young children or like us 2 dogs. The owners were very helpful and responsive. The review book in the house was testament to the many previous happy holiday makers who had stayed there and I would gladly return.

Lovely location, view and well appointed.

Lovely quiet location overlooking boatyard and coast of Bute, view is ever changing with clouds, light and boats. Well appointed inside and out (though weather can be poor). Our third stay at Alderside and may well come back again.

A truly relaxing holiday

Aldersyde is the ideal place to have a relaxing get together with the family. The location is stunning with lots of lovely walks around. If you're not feeling energetic sitting out on the lovely decking overlooking the loch is a great alternative. We weren't very lucky with the weather but the games room and play room kept the children amused for ages. The house is spacious, warm, very well equipped and the beds really comfortable. Coffee and cakes are a must in the local 'Tea Room ' and a bar supper in the Tignabruaich Inn can be recommended. We would all like to return again.

Lovely house with large garden and spectacular views.

A fantastic holiday home with caters for all ages. As a family of 8 adults, 1 toddler and 3 dogs, this property was more than spacious enough for us all without feeling cramped. The garden area was great for the dogs as this allowed them the space to roam. Although it rained consistently there was more than enough to occupy everyone. The games room was a winner with the younger adults and they spent many hours in there The views were wonderful from the house and even better when talking the dogs a walk. We would love to visit again in the near future.

May half term on the secret coast

An excellent cottage ideally located near to the loch and local amenities. A great games room for the kids to while away the evening or on those days when it rains!
