2 night tour of the lakes

Just spent a wonderful 2 night stay here with my partner. Everything was amazing we stayed in room 1. A beautiful upstairs corner room with a lovely view and sun all afternoon. The room was spotless with a lovely comfy bed there was everything we needed and it was very quiet. The bathroom is a little snug if you’re a larger person but again spotless with a great shower. Breakfast was delicious and everyone who worked there so friendly and helpful. We met Sue one of the owners on the last day absolutely lovely lady. Perfect location a 6/7 min walk from the lake. Parking was easy and we were allowed to park from 11am and to leave the car til 1pm allowing us more time to explore. I would highly recommended and can’t wait to come and stay here again. Thank you for the perfect couple of days.

I loved the free parking so close to the building. The room was very nice and quiet, which I appreciated. It is also just a short walk from little shops, restaurants, and the lake, which is great.

Fabulous stay at the Westbourne. Friendly greeting from Sue and check in was quick. Room was excellent and had everything we needed. Location is perfect as you are no more than a 10 minute walk to the lake, restaurants, bars, and shopping, but hotel is on a quiet street in a good location. Breakfast in the morning was served by Andre and was really good. Would absolutely stay here again and would definitely recommend.

Excellent Hotel! My 3rd time in a year in the Lake District. It was a last minute booking and worth it. I was really impressed by my room. It was extremely comfortable and my hosts were very friendly. I think the Hotel was recently renovated too. My room had a new bathroom which was very nicely done. My bed was new too (very comfortable), I fell into a deep sleep. 👍 Nice new TV too and smart room layout design. I had a small room, yet a large bed! The room is smartly designed in a way I could put my large suitcase under the bed. Heating was great, water pressure. 👍 I would stay again. Great location too, close to Windermere restaurants, cafes, pubs and shops. Excellent stay. 10/10. A great deal of effort, research and hard work was put into guests needs and comfort by the Hotel hosts.

The hosts were very welcoming. The property is well kept and very clean. A bit chilly during the night as the heating was set on a timer. We never had breakfast, however it did smell really good.

Having stayed at the Westbourne a number of years ago (twice) it did not disappoint on revisiting. We wouldn’t hesitate to return, the room was warm and comfortable and the breakfast was very good. All in all a nice place to stay.
