For Sale - £625,000.00

Available - Last updated: 09 July 2025

Graham + Sibbald are delighted to bring to market for sale The Steam Packet Inn with its picturesque location in the Isle of Whithorn on the beautiful Solway Coast of Dumfries and Galloway in South West Scotland. The Steam Packet Inn, which has been owned and operated by the same family for over 40 years, has 7 Letting Bedrooms, 2 bars and 2 restaurants plus an outdoor terrace on the harbour quayside for alfresco activities. The village is a popular tourist destination with a season that runs from March through to the end of October.

The Whithorn area is steeped in history - it is where St Ninian (Scotland's first saint) landed bringing Christianity to Scotland; and the harbour was once the main port, for regular cargo and ferries, by the Steam Packet Company connecting with Liverpool, as well as a multitude of smaller vessels working for the village; plus a port for fishing boats. The availability for sale, for the first time in over 40 years, of The Steam Packet Inn is a fantastic, maybe rare, opportunity to acquire a busy and profitable business; truly a destination, leisure Inn; plus a lease or lease purchase will also be considered.

Location

The Steam Packet Inn is located on the picturesque harbourside in the small fishing village of Isle of Whithorn at the southernmost tip of the Machars Peninsula in South West Scotland. The village is a popular tourist destination with a season that runs from March through to the end of October. Due to its proximity to the border the majority of the tourists (80%) come from England. The village sits 3 miles from the separate village of Whithorn which has a strong association with St Ninian, Scotland’s first saint, who brought Christianity to Scotland. This religious link also brings many visitors from overseas.
