Stayed at the Westbourne for 1 night and can honestly say this is the nicest B&B we have ever stayed at. We booked last minute and were lucky enough to be allocated room 3 which has a four poster bed, beautiful views and is very nicely decorated. The owners were very helpful and have a very trusting attitute towards their... More

This B&B is in a great location for exploring the area around windermere lake. Its just a short stroll to the actual lake where a lot of the boats to neighboring villages depart from and the shops and restaurants of Bowness are all at at the end of the road the B&B is situated on. The room although small was... More

We have just returned from an excellent weekend at the Westbourne. The welcome was warm - I ride a motorbike and was offered the use of the garage free of charge. The location was really convenient for walking into Bowness (and of course the lakes in general!). The room (number 3) was spacious, very clean and modern, quiet etc. The... More

We stayed at The Westbourne for a weekend break. The owners were very helpful, warm & welcoming; the location was excellent, the property well maintained & the breakfast was first class. We stayed in a compact double, although a little on the small side it was ample for our needs and had all the facilities you would require. A nice... More

The room was in a great condition, very clean, and well-equipped. The B&B has a very warm and friendly atmosphere, and the hosts will make sure your stay is as enjoyable as possible. Breakfast definitely exceeded our expectations. All in all, great value for money and excellent service. More

We arrived to a warm welcome at the Westbourne, after having walked through rain, hail and even snow! The bedroom was extremely well presented with lovely décor, and with it being on the outside of the property, had its own door and porch - very handy for coming and going as we pleased. Location was perfect - very handy for... More

We stayed here as part of a trip to the Lake District for walking. It is well situated in a quiet street just a very short distance from the main street with shops and restaurants. The welcome was friendly, the accommodation exactly as described, and clean and tidy, and the breakfast was absolutely fine and well presented, with a good... More

The Westbourne was a pleasant break in a friendly clean b&b with lovely cooked breakfast. The Westbourne is in a good location close to windermeres shops, pubs and restaurants and the lake is only about 5minutes walk away. There could have been a few extra touches to the room but overall an enjoyable stay. More

This was a stopover to and from Scotland for a family funeral. It was just what was needed - very cosy, warm and friendly. The owners were actually on holiday and friends were baby sitting the hotel for them. They were very welcoming and were doing a grand job. Our first room and en suite were a little small but... More
