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.

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

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
