Dog Friendly Stays at The Westbourne B&B
Friday 6th February 2026
We are pleased to now welcome dogs at The Westbourne B&B, giving guests more choice when looking for dog friendly stays in Bowness on Windermere.
We know there is growing demand for dog friendly accommodation in the Lake District, as more people want to enjoy a break without leaving their pets at home. Located in the heart of Bowness-on-Windermere, The Westbourne is ideally placed for lakeside walks, scenic trails, and a wide choice of dog friendly cafés, pubs and restaurants.
We now offer dog friendly stays with a small supplement of £20 per night, allowing one dog per room. This helps us ensure a comfortable and relaxed environment for all guests, while maintaining the high standard of accommodation throughout the property.
With easy access to outdoor spaces and nearby walking routes, The Westbourne is well suited to visitors looking for dog friendly stays close to Windermere. The surrounding area remains very popular with dog owners thanks to its beautiful scenery and welcoming local businesses.
We have seen increasing interest in dog friendly accommodation in Bowness on Windermere, particularly from couples and guests visiting for short breaks. By welcoming dogs, we hope to support longer stays and encourage returning guests who enjoy travelling with their pets.
As dog owners ourselves, we understand how important it is to find great places to explore with your dog. We are always happy to share local walking routes and dog friendly recommendations, while our resident dogs, Odi and Star, look forward to welcoming their furry visitors to The Westbourne.
Guests planning a stay are advised that dog friendly stays are available exclusively when booking direct. Please call to check availability and to arrange your dog friendly stay.
