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.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

2 night tour of the lakes

Just spent a wonderful 2 night stay here with my partner. Everything was amazing we stayed in room 1. A beautiful upstairs corner room with a lovely view and sun all afternoon. The room was spotless with a lovely comfy bed there was everything we needed and it was very quiet. The bathroom is a little snug if you’re a larger person but again spotless with a great shower. Breakfast was delicious and everyone who worked there so friendly and helpful. We met Sue one of the owners on the last day absolutely lovely lady. Perfect location a 6/7 min walk from the lake. Parking was easy and we were allowed to park from 11am and to leave the car til 1pm allowing us more time to explore. I would highly recommended and can’t wait to come and stay here again. Thank you for the perfect couple of days.

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.
