A gravel driveway leads past the house down to the jetty, which provides a launch platform for boats.

The Alders is located around a mile from Fearnan and under five miles from the popular village of Kenmore. Aberfeldy is just eleven miles and has a fine range of local services and amenities. Perth is 42 miles.
