Tighnabruaich
PA21 2EG
Discover the coastal village of Tighnabruaich, tucked away on the West Coast of Scotland, also known as Argyll's Scret Coast. Justminutes away you will find local arts and crafts, cafes and welcoming pubs. Bordered by Loch Fyne and the Kyles of Bute, this is an area of stunning natural beauty, with hills, glens, rugged coastlines, white beaches, clear waters and ancient forests. The whole area is steeped in Highland history and dotted with ruins, castles and ancient sites.
Around 80 miles from Glasgow by road, a perfect tranquil holiday spot for sailors, tourists and fishermen alike. Known as one of the most scenic drives in Scotland, a drive along the narrow roads chisled out the hill side offers some of the best great views of the Bute, Arran and the Ayrshire coasts and the hills.
DIRECTIONS
Getting here by road from Glasgow this fabulous drive takes you up the side of Loch Lomond, through the Arrochar Alps and over the world-famous Rest and Be Thankful. The final stretch winds along the coast with the Kyles of Bute stretching out ahead. There are some wonderful viewpoints dotted along this road. Take the A82 along Loch Lomond to Tarbet, then the A83 towards Inveraray and Campbeltown. At Cairndow, turn left on to the A815, then at Strachur turn right on to the A886, signposted Glendaruel and Colintraive. Just after Glendaruel turn right onto the A8003 towards Tighnabruaich. Once in Tighnabruaich follow signs for Kames and then to the Kames Hotel. The property is 250m along the shore road from the hotel, just before the junction heading back up the hill. There is a house sign in the garden.
Getting here by road and ferry is another option is to get the ferry from Gourock to Dunoon and enjoy a drive through remote, mountainous country. The writer Iain Banks reckons it’s one of best wee roads in Scotland. You then pick up the same coastal road as above. Take the A8 to Gourock, then Western Ferries from McInroy’s Point to Hunter’s Quay near Dunoon. Turn right on to A815, then shortly after leaving the 40mph area, turn left on B836, a winding single track road with passing places. After about 17 miles, turn right on A886, then left on A8003 towards Tighnabruaich.
Six night stay at Aldersyde5/5 Star Upfront Reviews - Ausgust 2023My family have stayed here quite a few times over the years. We love this house and its beautiful and peaceful location.
It has everything we needed for a comfortable holiday - no matter what the weather is like.
Another excellent stay5/5 Upfront Reviews - July 2023This 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.
Living in a Dream5/5 Upfront Reviews - October 2022Very 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
5/5 Upfront Reviews - September 2022
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 beautiful house in a beautiful location
5/5 Upfront Reviews - July 2022
This is a beautiful house in a lovely loch-side location. The walks in the surrounding areas are stunning and good for wildlife.
A perfect family holiday house
5/5 Upfront Reviews - August 2022
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
5/5 Upfront Reviews June 2022
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.
A sunny week away.

Lovely stay, lovely location
July 2021

House was clean and very well located.
Great enclosed garden for the dogs to run around in.
Definitely will return.
Idyllic home from home, December 2020
Stunning location and well appointed home from home, will definitely come back to such a beautiful home and location

4.2/5 Star upfront review Aug 2018
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.
Lovely house with large garden and spectacular views.4 Star Upfront Review New Year 2017/8A 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.
