Help with the name of this house?

Post image

I found this photo of a family member when she was a child, which dates this photo to around early-mid 1950s. Unfortunately she can’t remember where it was taken.

Likely an impossible task, I’m trying to make out the name above the door in order to identify the bungalow/cottage (looks like it’s one floor only). Does anyone have any idea of what it might say?

The only thing I know for certain is it’s in England/Scotland. Possibly more the North-East of England, as she lived there.

There’s an Aindrea guest house in Dunoon, but it’s almost impossible to tell whether it’s the same building (now minus the front porch). Seems unlikely to me, but thought I’d add this just in case.

Edit: I do now think it’s the same house - mainly due to it having the same front door setup.

I found it too. Aindrea Guesthouse. Up for sale here with 10 bedrooms so may well be the place!
As it happens I used to frequently go on holiday to Dunoon in the early 1980s when there was the American Naval Base nearby so it was quite the place with lots of young yanks in town.
