The hosts were very welcoming. The property is well kept and very clean. A bit chilly during the night as the heating was set on a timer. We never had breakfast, however it did smell really good.

Having stayed at the Westbourne a number of years ago (twice) it did not disappoint on revisiting. We wouldn’t hesitate to return, the room was warm and comfortable and the breakfast was very good. All in all a nice place to stay.
