We had a very nice weekend here, which we used as a base for my partner's participation in 'The Great North Swim'. The owners could not have been nicer. the room was clean, spacious and well-equipped. the breakfast was lovely. There is also free Wi-fi, although it works ok in the room, it is better in the lounge area. The... More

Good things; well located for the shops, restaurants and the lake in Bowness. Ample parking, clean, tastefully furnished rooms, comfortable bed, nice en-suite shower room, good quality towels and bedding and an excellent range of teas, coffees etc. The hosts were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. I have limited mobility and was immediately offered a downstairs room,... More

Very friendly welcome, in a clean, tidy and charming property, in a very quiet area of Bowness. Very pleasant lounge and breakfast room. The bedroom was really nice with good bedding. We would only have liked a larger bathroom. Thanks to the owners for the quality of service and excellent breakfast!

We have just returned from a couple of nights in the Lakes staying at the Westbourne. It's a great B&B in a great location for Bowness with the added benefit of a decent sized area to park cars. We stayed in one of the larger rooms - 7 - it was beautiful really spacious with an enormous bed - had... More

A small well run B&B, located in a lovely national park area of the UK. We chose this hotel based on good reviews and the number of parking spaces being roughly equal to the number of rooms, knowing that parking can generally be difficult in the Lake District. Our room was an annexe attached to the main building, and we... More

Great little find! Just off the main drag down into Bowness, which was about a 3 minute walk away. We booked this accommodation as it came up on line the day before we decided on a last minute night out in Bowness-on-Windermere, and we got a great price on the room. I called up as soon as I had booked... More

Pleasant owners, great lounge room. Great breakfast with lovely thick bacon and local sausage. Rooms were clean and the owners had a wealth of information available. Ample parking and a good location a few hundred metres up a hill from the lake. There is a nice look-out over the area just a few yards from the hotel.

Excellent find. Easy parking, great location, good breakfast (only place that got a fried egg right for me in our two week trip), comfortable room. Our ONLY critique would be the narrow window for breakfast...45 min. Will say that they said breakfast outside of that window was possible if necessary but hated to ask. Owners very nice. Would def stay... More

We have just spent a couple of nights at this great B&B! The hosts were charming and very informative!. Our en suite room was snug but cosy and the huge bed very welcome after a long drive from Skye. The location is ideal with lots of on sight parking which is rare in this busy town. We would certainly return... More
