About The Steam Packet Inn
Sea views from a working harbour set The Steam Packet Inn apart from most stays in Newton Stewart. This small hotel has just seven rooms, each en-suite, giving it the feel of a proper local inn rather than a large hotel chain, and its position on Harbour Row puts the water on your doorstep.
Rooms come with drinks and room service laid on, and the restaurant and bar downstairs serve breakfast as well as meals through the day, with kids' catered for on the menu too. Outside there's a garden and picnic area for warmer days, and pets are welcome, so the Inn suits families and dog owners alike. Reception runs around the clock, useful for early starts or late returns.
Galloway Forest Park lies nearby for walkers and cyclists, and the surrounding area offers fishing, further pubs and restaurants, and other entertainment within easy reach. It's a straightforward, well-placed base for exploring Dumfries and Galloway by land or water.
