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.

I checked in super late and they had a game plan in place to accommodate my late arrival even though there is not a person on site after hours. The location is awesome to access the restaurants, shops, and activities within Windermere. Would stay there again in a heartbeat.
