Ailsa cottage was clean, pleasantly old fashioned but adequately equipped, except perhaps for a lack of broadband. There were twin beds which could perhaps be replaced with zip and link beds to give a double alternative. The owner lived not far away and was friendly and helpful. Newton Stewart is a good base from which to explore the coast and the forests of the area, with towns like Kirkcudbright, New Galloway, Stranraer and Girvan all an interesting drive away.
