The Westbourne, hotel in Kendal

The Westbourne is a beautiful guest house set in the peaceful area below Biskey Howe in the Lake District. Bedrooms feature walk-in-shower rooms, luxurious toiletries and large fluffy towels.

The staff there are very friendly. They always greeted us with bright smiles, that make us feel right at home. We forgot to close our car window, and one of the gentlemen kindly reminded us, thanks again. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. And service was great. It’s a great location, just about 10-minute walk to Bowness Pier and the town center. All in all, it was a delightful and very cost-effective stay in Bowness. We will definitely choose to stay here again if we return to Bowness. There’s an Asian food restaurant nearby run by a Vietnamese family. The food there is absolutely fabulous, and the staff are very friendly. It’s definitely worth a try.

    Garden Cottage is beautifully presented in an elevated position. Chris and Jill are lovely hosts and provided a range of welcome provisions for our arrival and offered helpful guidance on nearby walks and beauty spots. The kitchen was very well equipped with unexpected additions including a coffee maker and air fryer. The bedrooms were bright and airy with comfortable beds assuring a restful sleep. The double aspect lounge allowed opportunity for relaxation in the evenings after days of touring and sight seeing.

    Yvonne was a lovely host, great communication from the start. The room was clean and comfortable. Bonus of freshly baked biscuits on arrival and kettle with tea/coffee/hot chocolate in the room. Definitely a quirky little place, with lovely little touches. I'd recommend to anyone looking for guesthouse accommodation in the area. Good value for money and spotless!

    Excellent service and very helpful friendly staff. Very busy place which shows how popular it is with visitors and locals. Good selection of reasonably priced drinks. Had three meals during our stay all really good. Only breakfast sandwiches served though which I thought was unusual 🤔
