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...

Although the hotel could do with a bit of maintenance work it is full of character and has a very warm period atmosphere. the. staff were unassuming yet helpful and the food at the function was of a good standard. the room was very spacious and homely and the adjoining bathroom had both a modern shower and an antique bath....

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

We had booked a room (number 1) at the Heaves Hotel months before we arrived and it turned out to be one of the worst Hotels that we had ever stayed in.On arrival the first impression was why hadn't they put a door mat at the entrance? All the dirt and muck was being walked into the foyer and up... More

After staying on manchester Road in Bolton for the previous two night, this was an incredible contrast. This is an old manor house. Some would say it need updating, but then you would lose much of its charm nad the whole experience would be just like any other bland hotel anywhere in the world. What struck me first was the...

Heaves hotel is a beautiful English manor house. Our bedroom was huge with twin beds, good quality sheets and duvets. The ensuite was also very genorous in size with good quality towels. The grounds were lovely and included a garden centre and some lovely old oak trees. The food was adequate but I wouldn't stay here for the food. The... More
