Harbour Views...

Put your feet up in one of our seven ensuite bedrooms, five with sea view.
Our new deluxe rooms have power showers, luxury handmade beds and seating areas overlooking the harbour.
Tea and coffee facilities, TV and phones are all standard.

Our famous Galloway breakfast is included in the tariff and is sure to set you up for the day.

Fine Scottish Fayre...

The Packet's reputation for its food has spread far and wide. Lunches and evening meals are served throughout both bars and in the lower dining room and conservatory restaurants. The emphasis is on serving the freshest of Scottish produce, particularly seafood that is often bought straight from boats landing in front of the hotel. Traditional Sunday Lunches are served and children and special diets are catered for.

How Refreshing…

Relax in either of the comfortable bars undisturbed by TV, fruit machines or piped music. Try none of our numerous malt whiskies or one of the real ales that we offer. Alastair has built up a comprehensive wine list with at least six available by the glass. Fresh ground coffees are available; from espresso to latte - satisfying even the most discerning caffeine lover.

An Introduction…

The Steam Packet Inn sits on the quayside overlooking the harbour. Personally run by the Scoular family for over 20 years, the hotel is the perfect place to escape from the pressures of modern living. The hotel caters to an eclectic mix of locals, visitors and fishermen who come to enjoy the informal atmosphere of the pub. Children and dogs are welcome and are catered for at all times.

Isle of Whithorn...

The picturesque village of Isle of Whithorn nestles around its harbour on the southernmost tip of the Machars peninsula. The village has a long history of seafaring and trade dating back to the Vikings and St Ninian through the era of the topsail schooners, both legal and smuggler, to the age of the Steam Packets ships, and now to the fishermen and leisure craft that ply the Solway.

Directions...

The Steam Packet Inn is located only 20 miles off the main A75 Stranraer to Dumfries Euroroute. Turn off at Newton Steward onto the A714 and follow sign for Whithorn. Three miles down the road from Whithorn you'll reach the Isle and the pub sits on the quayside looking back across the harbour.
