There is something about ‘having seen better days’ that pervades the whole hotel. Rickety furniture, creaking floorboards, dodgy plumbing – but clean enough. We enjoyed both an excellent evening meal and the breakfast. Although easily reached from the motorway, there are no shops or bars etc nearby, I’m sure I would have felt ‘trapped’ there if I were to stay... More

I have been to the heaves lots of times for food and I always enjoy it. It is a lovely atmosphere and the staff are very friendly. They are always able to satisfy our needs even when we ask for extra roast potatoes as they are sooo good. I think you should deffo try this place. It is lovely and... More

We have been staying at the Heaves for many years and we've never been disappointed. It is ideally located for the Lakes and has excellent parking facilities. We recently stayed in the self catering cottages on the site which are excellent, they are centrally heated and well equipped including free wifi, a cosy retreat from the rain outside. The grounds...

Hit upon the hotel whilst visiting Cath's Plants situated in the hotels wall garden, and decided to stay here when we next needed a break. We just felt that the place needed an injection of love and cash. Externally, the building is suffering needing the window frames painted, the gardens were unkept (the lawn mower dumped on the lawn, petrol... More

We had a family gathering at Heaves and we all agreed the staff did a great job. The hotel is in a country hall surrounded by extensive gardens and deer park with views over towards Morecambe Bay. The bedrooms are all huge with extra beds + settees. Some of the decor is a bit "period" which we found charming. The... More

I stopped here for 2 nights, 3 days at the same time as raymartin and martinmac. I stayed in a single room which was huge and clean. I went with a group of friends, not to watch the tv or look out the bedroom window. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. I found the staff very helpful and polite but presumably... More

Our high expectations on this hotel which had been recommended to us were dashed as we drove into the carpack. I can only assume the friends that recommended it stayed when it first opened! It was immediately evident that this once fine Georgian mansion in a priviledged location is severe need of maintenance work and new management. From the word... More

I stayed for the weekend along with a large group of friends from several car forums. The support from all the staff was excellent and they went well beyond what was expected to help out with issues which were nothing to do with the hotel. I was very impressed with the hotel and had a great weekend.. I look forward... More
