The Steam Packet Inn

The hotel is comfortable and well kept. The room was clean and quiet. I had a good evening meal and enjoyed the continental breakfast (good homemade bread!). The staff were welcoming and helpful and able to store my bike securely overnight. Good roads for cycling here. I’m happy to recommend staying here and would happily do so again

We booked three nights last weekend and arrived around 15.00hrd on the Friday. The staff were pleasant and very helpful. We were booked in right away and shown to our room. The room was at the front of the hotel, spotlessly clean and spacious with a king size bed and a small sitting area overlooking the bay. There was more than enough room for all our clothing for a long weekend stay. Once we got settled we went down to the main bar, got a drink each and sat on the tables / benches right beside the sea. The food was VERY good over the 3 nights. Although it was very busy on the first night and the staff apologised that there may be a delay in getting our meals, we were served within 20 minutes. The drink selection was excellent with beers for all tastes (the real ale particularly). Breakfast was continental but with really nice staff in attendance and being helpful. All in all well worth the money. One more mention ahs to go to the staff and owners. Helpful, polite and a great sense of humour.

Last minute decision to have a night away on Isle of whithorn. Tracey made us feel welcome. The room and view was lovely across the bay. All we'll say is Islecroft is "Outstanding in every way". We hope to go back in the future. Micheal and Lyn.x

Basil Fawlty needs to buy his place & raise the standard. Such a stunning setting & good food but it’s obviously being run by children as some bizarre experiment! Very odd. Sad to see, as it was a favourite venue for us. I hope a new owner (it’s for sale) can inject some love into this inn & save it from its decline.

Another great lunch - we're local so have had 3 recent lunch visits. Lovely food, including fresh fish and Galloway beef, all perfectly cooked and served with fresh vegetables and good chips. Excellent Five Kingdom's beer, friendly service and one of the most beautiful settings possible.

Returned! This time calm sunny weather sat outside a few hours their own beer and local gin! Unfortunately no food Monday & Tuesday but we knew this. Great place to watch fisherman, swans, cows etc! Will return again of course. Stayed in the field at the back - leaving no trace!
