About Westwood - The B&B with a view
Perched on Harris Brow above Cockermouth, Westwood - The B&B with a view looks out over garden and mountain scenery on the edge of the Lake District, with the fells rising beyond the town. It's a spot chosen for its outlook as much as its comfort, and the setting makes it a good base for exploring the surrounding countryside.
Rooms are en-suite and include accessible options, with drinks provided in room and views over the garden or mountains depending on aspect. Breakfast is served each morning, with kids' meals available for younger guests, and free WiFi runs throughout. Outside, there's a garden, picnic area and outdoor seating for taking in the views, while a spa and sauna on-site offer a place to unwind after a day on the fells. Luggage storage and 24 hour reception add convenience for those arriving early or leaving late.
Cockermouth itself is close by, with pubs, restaurants and other eateries within easy reach, along with entertainment and walking routes for those keen to get out into the surrounding hills. It's a straightforward, well-placed base for a Lake District stay.
What guests say
This a awesome B&B that has only two guest rooms, so couples only. I suggest booking direct with owners on their site. This is just outstanding, words beyond belief so pleased I found this for us nearing the end of almost 6 weeks away from Brisbane Australia I give a 10 out of 10.

We have stayed at Westwood the B&B with a view on a number of occasions and always look forward to going there again. The super king size bed is extremely comfortable with lovely bed linen. There are tea making facilities with a good choice of tea, coffee and hot chocolate, also a coffee machine and we love having the sole use of a fridge with fresh milk provided every day. It is also nice to have the use of the very comfortable lounge and admire the amazing view. There is a lovely garden with plenty of seating, weather permitting. The breakfasts are delicious with an extensive choice and beautifully presented with unbelievable attention to detail. Judith and Peter are the perfect hosts and nothing is too much trouble. Westwood is a perfect base for a stay in the Lake District with easy access to many beautiful places.

My wife and I have stayed at Westwood 37 times since 2018 and have always enjoyed a warm welcome from the lovely hosts, Judith and Peter. This June, 2026, was no exception. Nothing was too much trouble for them to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. They serve an excellent breakfast with great a selection of English or Continental. Westwood is in a lovely location with magnificent views from the lounge. It has a dedicated guest entrance so you can come and go as you please or just stay in all day and relax if you wish.

Judith & Peter, What a lovely spot you have created for your guests!. You've thought of every detail! We appreciate the cozy, comfortable room with all the amenities, down to coffee and tea in the room. The lounge is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the incredible, peaceful view. So happy we had a sunny morning to enjoy your lovingly-prepared full English breakfast overlooking the beautiful garden. Delicious! Thank you for recommending us to the pleasures of Cumbria and the Lake District. It was a heavenly visit. Hoping we can return someday.
