The Westmorland Inn

Good location to explore Bowness. Easy check in and didn’t really see anyone after that. Rooms need a bit of TLC in my opinion but a good stay for what we paid.

We had high hopes for this stay after the previous good reviews. We arrived on the Friday night and were hoping for a good nights sleep as we were up at 4.30am the next day to go walking. The rooms are directly above the pub and on the Friday the pub stayed open until 2am with very loud music and even louder patrons. The website stated it closed at 11pm and the sign on the door 12am. However at 1.15am we couldn’t take the noise any more, I went down to the bar and asked if the bar was closing soon. The barman was apologetic and said they would keep the noise down. Unfortunately nothing changed and the party finally stopped just after 2 and the party goers left about 2.20am. We spoke to management the next day who were very sorry and said the bar should have closed at 12 and it accidentally stayed open. Initially we were offered a bottle of wine, after we explained our situation they eventually refunded the night. The next night we had no issues, however the final evening the room next to us decided to have a gathering and as the doors and walls were very thin we were able to hear everything being said / laughed at. Luckily this ended at 12am so we did get some sleep. The hotel do also allow dogs so every time someone went in/ out of their room, regardless of the time of day, we heard a few dogs barking at the noise, however, in isolation this would not have been an issue. The rooms were fine, slightly dated but very clean. If it wasn’t for the noise issues we would return.

Easy to find no car parking staff friendly room to hot no radiator control could do with better pillows nice to have bottles of water left overall stay was good

I liked the fact that the staff were really friendly and helpful, there was a restaurant on site and it was easy to find and right near the lake.

The property was functional. A bit dated but nothing too drastic to say I wouldnt stay again. Staff were friendly Convenient location.

We really enjoyed our stay here! Love to come back.
