This comfortable inn overlooks the picturesque harbour of Isle of Whithorn at the southernmost tip of the Machars peninsula.
The Steam Packet Inn has developed a reputation in the area for serving fine simple food with an emphasis on the freshest Scottish produce, particularly seafood that is often bought straight from boats landing in the harbour outside the hotel. Make sure you enjoy dinner in the new conservatory restaurant and savour a wonderful view over the harbour as you sample the best local produce.
Whithorn is famous for its connection with St Ninian, who brought Christianity to Scotland. You can discover the tales of the local community and the part it played in the evolution of Christianity in Scotland at The Whithorn Story. The fascinating visitor centre includes an audio-visual presentation, a hands-on exhibition and a tour of the excavation site.
