Needing a comfortable retreat to relax inbetween visits to the IOW Festival, the Havelock fitted the bill perfectly. A good location for the beach and town, but also for public transport if you don't want to use your car (plenty of free car parking provided). Breakfast was delicious - a wide choice with croissants, homemade bread and jams along with... More

A friendly welcome and a very comfortable room with private patio. The facilities and servicing of the room was faultless as were the staff and the quality of the breakfast. The pool was a great assett and was enhanced by the warm afternoon sun.

Clean, nicely decorated room no 10 which has a little patio. Very friendly and helpful staff / owners who want to make sure you have an enjoyable stay on IoW with having lots of tips of things to do / which restaurants etc. It feels like a well operated and efficient hotel operations but has retained its personality. Well presented... More

I have just come back from a wonderful stay at The Havelock for my 40th birthday with my fiancé and two friends. I had no idea where we were staying but was pleasantly surprised. Our room had a view of the sea and was well decorated. The bed was extremely comfortable and it was an effort leaving it each morning!... More

We stayed here between the 3rd and 6th June for our friend's 40th birthday and I can quite honestly say, it was excellent. The outside is very welcoming with a beautifully tended garden and there is plenty of parking. The room (no 22) was decorated in a modern style and had tea making facilities, a tv, plenty of storage space... More

We were made to feel very welcome even before we arrived, we were given a lot of help when booking the ferry and at a very good rate. The premises were very clean and we wanted for nothing. The breakfast was excellent and the staff were very pleasant and helpful, they were always smiling which made us all smile too.... More

Just returned from a week in the Isle of Wight staying at the Havelock. This five star hotel was set in a lovely quite area of Shanklin with sea views. The hotel was immaculate with good staff and excellent food. It was very clean with a spacious room. Would highly recommend this hotel.

We booked to stay here because of the high reviews it had on trip adviser and were not disappointed in the slightest. A beautiful hotel that is well kept and of a high standard of cleanliness and decor. We were made to feel very welcome by Dave on arrival and from then on all staff we came across were polite...
