New EV Charging Now Available for Guests at The Westbourne

Friday 16th January 2026

The Westbourne is pleased to introduce a new 7 kW EV charger for guests, providing a convenient and reliable way to recharge electric vehicles during a stay in Bowness on Windermere. As more visitors choose to travel with electric or hybrid cars, the addition of onsite charging reflects The Westbourne’s commitment to offering practical facilities that support modern travel needs.

Guests can now arrange a charging slot either by speaking to Greg or Angela on arrival or by calling ahead before their stay. This ensures that charging can take place at a suitable time and allows guests to plan their journeys with confidence. The charger is located within the onsite parking area, which means guests can leave their vehicle safely while it charges.
The Lake District continues to be one of the busiest visitor destinations in the country, and Bowness on Windermere is particularly popular throughout the year. Access to public charging can sometimes be limited during peak periods, so having an onsite option at The Westbourne provides a reassuring alternative for EV drivers. Many guests appreciate the opportunity to explore the area on foot or by using local buses and boats, and the ability to charge the car at the guest house adds to the ease of staying in the centre of Bowness.

Introducing EV charging is part of the ongoing improvements being made under the new ownership. Greg and Angela are continuing to update facilities, refresh interiors and enhance the overall guest experience while maintaining the welcoming atmosphere The Westbourne is known for. The addition of the EV charger supports their aim to offer comfortable and practical accommodation that meets the expectations of today’s travellers.
Guests who would like to use the EV charger are encouraged to get in touch ahead of their stay to arrange a convenient time.
