We have just spent a couple of nights at this great B&B! The hosts were charming and very informative!. Our en suite room was snug but cosy and the huge bed very welcome after a long drive from Skye. The location is ideal with lots of on sight parking which is rare in this busy town. We would certainly return... More

My sister and I stayed in the lovely Westbourne Hotel for a few days while on a walking trip. The hotel was lovely and well looked after. The owners were really welcoming and friendly - they couldn;t have been better. I'd absolutely return there again . . . .

Located in a quiet street of the main road to Bowness but within easy walking distance it is a great old building. The hosts owners were very friendly and when shown to our room I... More

The hotel was a 5 minute walk from windemere, ideally situated to wander in and out of Windemere at ease. Upon arrival we were welcomed by one of the owners, who made us feel at home and gave us a tour of the hotel. There is a large hotel lounge where you can relax at you leisure. The room was... More

We e mailed to ask about bike storage and were allocated a great room with its own entrance where we could store the bike. Perfect!
