Lovely, comfortable room. A quick overnight stay en route to Scotland but glad we stayed here. Welcoming Owner.
Nothing.
Good location, very comfortable and exceptionally clean room. Delicious breakfast served by friendly and attentive hosts , would definitely recommend this place.
Wouldn’t be able to bring the less mobile members of the family here due to the steep incline from the waterfront to the accommodation.
Location Up a hill
Good breakfast, very tasty. Good parking and location. Very friendly staff and owners
Nothing wrong at all we've been before and would go again
Location was fabulous, near to the little township and a short walk to what we came to see. Handy to bus stop to get us too and from the train station. Definitely will be back!!
There’s nothing that we can think of… just perfect!!
Near centre of town, everything in walking distance great stay
Didn't have breakfast .
Room next door, bathroom sounded like it was on the same wall as the bedhead so very noisy.
Clean spacious room near the centre - hosts were lovely room was ready early and we was able to check in. Good value for money
Location and a delightful and welcoming host

The rooms were clean and well equipped. The bed was comfortable
It was friendly. It was close to the centre and a nice walk down to the harbour
Good location to the Bus stop on main road, good location and walk into town and lake. Very clean, tidy and well maintained, lovely room.
Couldn’t really fault it
Exceptionally clean, comfortable bed and excellent breakfast. Great location.
The Westbourne was immaculately clean and comfortable
Homely atmosphere
Great, friendly hosts, who had taken over the Westbourne since our last stay. Room was fine, well stocked. Good choice for breakfast. Excellent location to explore Bowness & Windermere.
Couldn't get a room for a second night as was booked up!!!
Room was lovely, clean and well decorated. Owners were very helpful and provided good information and a delicious breakfast.

Buona posizione. Ottima colazione, anche se fatta troppo presto, dalle 8 alle 9.

Location great, owners great people who were really helpful with getting my car charged up. Rooms are a good size and the breakfast was also great
Received a warm welcome. Pre order breakfast forms are used and need to be handed in before you retire each night. Cereal and/or cooked breakfast offerings with choice of juice and tea/coffee. The room is very clean.
The room is very small which wasn't too much of a problem as we were basically only there to sleep and were out all day and evening. However, the bathroom is way too small. There isn't enough room to dry yourself after a shower so had to come out of the bathroom into the bedroom to be able to dry off. Only one hand towel and two bath towels for two people to use.
Hosts were fantastic and always happy to help, spotlessly clean and a delicious breakfast.
Nothing.
Great location, for everything in Bowness, easy parking.
Couldn't fault anything, lovely stay, hope to return one day.
Very convenient for the centre of Bowness and very clean and welcoming
The whole property had a really relaxed feel to it , we stayed in the cottage suite which is a little building on it’s own , which was clean , modern and cosy , the bathroom was fabulous with the spa bath which was very relaxing , they is a good sized fridge , kettle and tea, coffee , sugar , milk and even hot chocolate ,the breakfast is a must to , very nice , Angela and Gregg were so welcoming and always made sure we had a lovely breakfast and always asked if we wanted more toast , juice and tea , all in all we really enjoyed our stay at The Westbourne and would definatley stay there again when we return to the lakes .
Clean,comfortable and friendly owners. Great location.
We had a wonderful stay! The location couldn't be better, and the free parking was a huge bonus. A special shoutout to the fantastic team for letting us check in a bit early. As someone who is very particular about cleanliness, I was thrilled to find the bathroom completely immaculate.
A mini fridge/freezer and an iron would have pushed this to a solid 10/10!
Nice place
Room was a bit too small Further up the bank than expected
The walk to town was easy. So great location. Also parking on site. Our room was lovely. All in all a good place to stay in the lakes.
Great host and room

Super friendly hosts. Great location. Good parking. Wonderful breakfast.
I love staying here - it’s lovely. There is parking available on site and the hotel itself is really nice.
The breakfast was ok.
We stayed in The Cottage for 2 nights. Absolutely superb accommodation, we loved the upstairs seating/lounge area, which has a bed settee if required. The whole place is fitted to a high standard, very quiet and cosy. Very friendly hosts. The location is excellent for Windermere and Bowness ,easily walkable. A wonder stay in excellent accommodation, we will be back. Many thanks.
Nothing, superb
Hosts, location, breakfast
The hotel was in a good location and the breakfast was excellent the owners were very friendly. It was really hot and the owners put a fan in our room.
Set back off the main road which meant peace and quiet but still within a very short walk to the main part of town. Beautiful character property. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was really good!
Nothing
Quiet location that was only ten minutes walk from lake and town centre, also close to Windermere Town centre about twenty minutes walk. Top notch breakfast, lovely guest house with staff to match, no issues at all, we would and probably will use the Westbourne again.
The hotel was in an excellent location. We arrived to a lovely friendly reception. The room was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The breakfast was excellent and I liked that you could order your breakfast the day before and everything was freshly cooked. I would not hesitate to stay at this hotel again and Angela and Greg are lovely hosts.
.
Location was good. Parking good. Bedroom and bathroom clean.
Breakfast was a bit disappointing, tea and coffee not very nice and cold. Bathroom uncomfortably small. More milk for a drink in bedroom would have been nice, only enough for a cup of tea or coffee each. Decor very tired.
Lovely warm welcome, clean room and great breakfast cooked to order.
Everything, hosts excellent and friendly, great location, lovely breakfast
Rooms were a little small
It was quite, comfortable, right balance of service.
Bed was too big, waist height had to roll into bed couldn’t get onto it. But as a small room bags went under the bed. Bathroom to compact.
Breakfast was excellent. Hosts very welcoming, helpful and friendly
Lovely and clean will definitely be booking again soon. Had everything what we needed,

Super B&B in a quiet street, just a few minutes walk from the town of Bowness-on-Windermere and lakeside. Our room (6) was very comfortable and had everything we needed for our 2-night stay. Great bed, linen and towels, and spotlessly clean. Particularly liked the window seat, with views to the fells on the other side of the lake. Breakfast was really tasty and the perfect start for a day of walking. Greg and Angela were lovely hosts, with lots of useful information to help us enjoy our visit. Thanks guys - it was great to meet you.
Knowledgable hosts and parking
Maybe have Handwash and shower gel dispensers in bathroom as holders there . Also tv does link to internet
Welcoming and friendly owners.

A truly beautiful place. The location is peaceful, the welcome is warm and friendly, and the service is excellent. We are regular visitors to the area and usually come two or three times a year. On every previous visit, the weather has been wonderful. This was the first time we were surprised by such changeable weather, and we ended up spending most of our holiday in the room. However, thanks to the comfort and warmth of the place, we hardly noticed the bad weather. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality. We will most certainly be back again soon.
Der Gastgeber war super nett, die Lage ist super
Walking distance to the town , but still peaceful very clean lovely staff
Excellent
Everything ok
The breakfast was lovely. The location was good we could walk into windermere where there were lots of shops bars and restaurants. On the day of check out we were allowed to leave out car on there car park which allowed us to go on a boat trip around windermere lake. We would stay there again.
The location was excellent, making it easy to explore the local area. The bed was very comfortable, ensuring a great night’s sleep, and the breakfast was lovely, with a good selection of delicious options each morning.
The only minor issue during our stay was that the TV signal was not always very good, which occasionally affected the picture quality. Aside from this, we were very happy with the property and our overall experience.
Friendly and very clean fantastic breakfast

The Westbourne was a great B&B to stay in at Boweness-on-Windmere. It was a fabulous location, only short walk to the lake. The owners were lovely and the breakfast on offer was great. Room and facilities were comfortable and clean. All in all, I highly recommend if you're staying in Boweness.
Nothing, everything was great!
Location excellent for Bowness. Short two minute walk to the centre. Hosts excellent and place was spotless. Would definitely stay there again.
It was all good
An extremely comfortable bed, excellent breakfast and wonderful hosts.

Location quite close to center, very clean, price ok
Tiny bathroom, very small room with no room for suitcases, no elevator, long corridor with a weird step in the middle, difficult to haul luggage, breakfast without any cheeses or vegetables or fruits.
Good location with car parking. Comfortable guest lounge. Comfortable bed with good shower and tasty breakfast
Nothing
Breakfast sausage was so hard couldn’t eat it,shame ,coffee not nice toast cold
Eatable sausage would of been nice
Third stay here. Had a small double this time. Room to swing a cat comes to mind, but more than adequate for a one night stay. The staff team were fantastic and the English breakfast was beautiful. Tea could have been hotter but acceptable. The location is perfect and parking is ideal, especially with the property accepting parking prior to booking in time. Recommending to others would be an absolute yes.
I couldn't find anything to not like.
The owners. Friendly, helpful and welcoming. The guest lounge, comfy and bright.
Good room Great location Good car parking Quiet spot

Very helpfull staff. Only stay one night so hard to say much .more. very clean would say again

everything - love the rooms, breakfast and the honesty bar is a lovely touch to relax and have a night cap before bed.
The shower temperature in our room was either boiling hot or cold - we managed but could do with looking at
The owners, lovely people, really nice. Location, couldn’t really of been better for us, parking, a huge bonus. We stayed in the cottage, which is separate from the main hotel, very private, clean. Extremely comfortable bed, excellent jacuzzi style bath. Could not really ask for anymore. Great breakfast. Could not fault it.
We could not fault anything. Even if I were to be very picky, it just ticks all the boxes.
The hosts are brilliant, really good location only a 5 min walk into the centre, really nice breakfast and even accommodate for taking breakfast on the go!
This is my third stay at the Westbourne. The location is ideal for exploring the Lakes and walking into Bowness. Rooms are clean, comfortable and the communal lounge is perfect to relax in. The owners are always welcoming, and serve a delicious breakfast.
I liked everything!
Room was comfortable and clean. Good location for exploring Windermere and surrounding area
Breakfast could have been a self service for cereals and would have liked yogurt and fresh fruit to be available.
Location, Parking, Breakfast and very helpful staff.

사전에 주문하여 정성껏 따뜻하게 차려주는 맛있는 조식은 여행을 더즐겁게 하는 힘이 되었다 그리고 도보 5분 이내에 산책로와 전망대도 좋았고 윈더미어 중심지,도보로 이동하기 좋았다

As soon as I arrived I felt totally at home.The bed was probably better than my own. In room beverages replenished every morning. Food excellent and cooked to perfection. I have discussed with my wife regarding a future visit to 'The glenbourne'......high praise indeed.
Nope. I'm pleased to say I can't recall anything in particular.
Great location. Short walk to Lake Windermere, shops & eateries. The proprietors are very welcoming and friendly. Great accommodation , very comfortable room. Breakfast was excellent Would thoroughly recommend staying here.
