My husband and I stayed at Alva house for four nights, but really we could have stayed indefinitely. The hosts, Linda and John are the friendliest people you could hope to meet and the house itself is beautiful, as is the large garden. Our poodle Gabriel was treated as one of the family. There's wildlife galore; birds, squirrels, fishes and... More

A lovely guesthouse in a stunning location, Linda and John couldn't have been more welcoming. The room was perfect- we have two lively toddlers and every last detail had been thought of.

John and Linda the owners were very friendly and welcoming to us and our cocker spaniel Charlie. The room was clean and spacious and led right onto the lovely garden. We had an excellent dinner as well as the fabulous breakfast the next morning. Within easy reach of lovely beaches such as Sandyhills.

Friendly welcome. Comfortable beds in twin room. Next to road but not a busy one. View over fields to sea and coastline. Good breakfast set us up for visit to local bird reserve at Mersehead. Should have made time to look at the garden.

My partner and I stayed here for two nights while we explored the South West of Scotland. Alva House is beautiful and the hospitality we recieved was superb. The rooms were clean and more than adequate. The food was delicious and all home grown from the garden. I would definitely recommend this bed and breakfast to anyone.
