I very much enjoyed my stay here. The owners are wonderful people and help you feel at home. I would definitely stay here again.
We had a “small room” and it was absolutely adorable. We loved its proximity to the shops and the fact that there was parking. A truly charming place to stay!
Very comfortable, quiet and welcoming. Excellent breakfasts. Nice lounge with books and newspapers. Close to the water and downtown core of Windermere. Owners very responsive to requests. Highly recommended.
Great location for a good price, service was excellent, breakfast looked good but we didn't partake as we are early birds and like to get something on the go.

Our stay here was fantastic. The owners were very personable, rooms were spotless and the breakfast was first class.
The Westbourne was immaculately clean, we were made to feel very welcome and the breakfast was great. The ideal base to stay when exploring the lake with public transport not far away. We would definitely recommend and already planning to book another stay. Thank you to The Westbourne for such a lovely break 😊
very lovely staff, ideal location as it is a short walk from plenty of shops and places to eat but is in a quiet area far from the main road
clean and very comfy bed, facilities are all good
Great hotel in a great location,wonderful staff great breakfast,clean rooms. Perfect for touring Windermere and local attractions,bars and restaurants all within walking distance.
