Welcome to
The Westbourne Bed & Breakfast
Our Rooms
The Westbourne offers a welcoming guest house in Bowness-on-Windermere, offering comfortable accommodation in one of the most loved areas of the Lake District.
Tucked away on a peaceful side street just a few minutes from the centre of Bowness, it’s the ideal base for enjoying lakeside walks, stunning scenery, local restaurants and the surrounding fells.
The property combines the charm of a Victorian Lakeland stone building with a warm and contemporary interior. Under the ownership of Greg and Angela, The Westbourne continues a long tradition of friendly hospitality, shaped by many years of experience working in hotels and resorts. Their focus is on providing a calm, comfortable stay where guests feel genuinely looked after.
Comfortable Rooms for Every Stay
The Westbourne offers a range of clean and well presented rooms, from cosy doubles to the spacious Cottage Suite. Each room includes a comfortable bed, modern ensuite facilities and thoughtful touches to help you relax. The peaceful location and short walk into Bowness make the guest house an ideal base for exploring Windermere and nearby towns.
The Westbourne also offers a comfortable guest lounge, perfect for relaxing in the evening or taking a break after a day of walking. Free onsite parking is provided for every room, along with an EV charger, which is a welcome benefit for visitors arriving by car.
Explore Bowness on Foot
You will find everything you need just a short walk from the door. Shops, restaurants, cafés, bars and the lake with its boat services are all close by. Walking routes begin near the guest house, offering gentle lakeside paths as well as more challenging fell trails. If you are unsure where to start, Greg and Angela are always happy to recommend routes and local places to visit.
