Bed and Breakfast Helensburgh

Westward House is a grand Victorian family house offering unique  bed and breakfast in Helensburgh near Loch Lomond. The rooms are large, gracious and inviting. The house has a Victorian covered verandah which wraps around the east and south side of the house creating the perfect place for relaxing and unwinding on a warm evening even if it is raining (vertically!). The south side looks over a beautiful garden to the Clyde Estuary and the hills beyond. Often the peaks of Goat Fell, on the Island of Arran, can be seen in the distance.

Our rooms form a small suite - 1 double + 1 twin bedroom. They are situated on the ground floor and have a shower/wet room adjoining within own small lobby. Both rooms are large and can accommodate an extra bed for those requiring it, making it suitable for a party of 6 in total. Both rooms have facilities for making hot drinks, are provided with tea, coffee & herbal teas as well as water filtered to a very high standard. We provide a full Scottish breakfast or an alternative including oat or quinoa porridge or rice congee served with your choice of milk or rice milk, fresh fruit and ground seeds. Other milks can often be provided if notice is given. A lot of our produce is sourced locally and if it is important to you please ask what is available in organic/grown free from pesticides at the time of your stay.

Helensburgh is a very pretty small town on the banks of the Clyde Estuary. It was named for the Laird's beautiful wife Helen and built to a Georgian grid. There were more millionaires in Helensburgh at one time than anywhere else in Britain and the quality and variety of homes in the town reflects this. It is the home of  The Hill House designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh for the Blackie family and of John Logie Baird, inventor of television, who grew up here.  It is only 8-10 minutes drive to Loch Lomond, 15 minutes to the Erskine Bridge and the M8 and 50 minutes from Glasgow centre by direct train or by car. Trains run every 30 minutes. There is great walking from the house itself and a huge choice of walks minutes away by car. There is a passenger ferry which will take you to Gourock or Kilcreggan.  Our guests enjoy a great variety of activities in and around the area.

There are many restaurants in the town to choose from for lunches or dinner and a very good delicatessen in the square in the centre of the town which makes a large variety of rolls for a packed lunch. It also caters for coffees etc and lunches. If you prefer we can provide packed lunches.
 

We look forward to welcoming you to Helensburgh
