The Havelock

Owners were fantastic very helpful and friendly they went out of there way to help.As we were leaving early they made us a fantastic sausage sandwich to take with us which was much appreciated.

Great location, beautiful room, amazing breakfast

The Havelock is run by Paul and Vicky who were absolutely wonderful hosts and amazing souls, they were both so accomodating and helpful. Following a very expensive emergency vets visit the day before we were due to travel, I contacted The Havelock, they couldn't have been more generous or helpful, and responded very quickly to all our communication.

Fortunately, we were able to travel as planned, but we were so grateful for the kindness and flexibility Paul and Vicky showed us when we contacted them.

On arrival they were so welcoming, and even kindly upgraded our room.

The hotel is very clean, with tasteful decoration, a beautiful garden and swimming pool.

The bedrooms were a good size, with a wonderful waterfall shower 🚿as well as a detachable shower head, again, very clean with lovely quality shampoo/body wash provided.

The beds were comfortable, although we were very grateful to have the additional spare bed, as my partner is quite twitchy in his sleep - the linen was excellent quality, and the view from our room was just stunning.

There is a hairdryer and great choice of coffee/tea and lovely little biscuits.

Even though we were at the front if the hotel, the road outside was very quiet with very little traffic.

The drinks bar is well stocked, and seating area comfortable with some fun games, and the breakfast offerings were of very high quality and cooked to perfection!

This was our first stay on the Isle of Wight, we couldn't have chosen better, and will gladly recommend The Havelock to anyone that asks... And we have already!

We did not want to leave.

Thank you both for making our stay magical!

very clean comfy hotel well decorated
bathrooms excellent

Location was just right, could see the sea from the hotel and not too far to walk to the beach or the village centre. Plenty of lovely places to eat and the beach front was clean.

Beautiful and clean. Nice bar!

Tasteful decor, excellent location, attentive Staff, breakfast varied and tasty.
Well done, Paul, Vicky and all - 110% recommended !!

Beautiful family run hotel with a lovely vibe, very helpful. All breakfast was fresh every morning and so nice. Nothing was too much trouble. Very clean. Would definitely recommend this hotel in a fab location.

After a bad experience with another hotel we finally booked the havelock , the room was immaculate, the owners were brilliant Paul met us when we arrived and explained everything in great detail, this turned our weekend away from a disaster into the perfect break, couldn't recommend it enough !

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Amazing Stay!

I stayed at this hotel in the Isle of Wight (in Shanklin) between the 11th and 14th, and I was truly surprised by how wonderful the experience was. The hotel has a modern touch combined with outstanding cleanliness — everything shone from top to bottom.

The staff were absolutely fantastic, warm, and welcoming, and I have to give a special mention to the lady who cleans the rooms — she did an amazing job every single day. The breakfast was delicious, fresh, and a perfect start to the day.

I also had the chance to enjoy the theatre on site, and the We Will Rock You performance was fantastic — such a brilliant bonus to the stay!

Overall, I loved everything about this place. It’s spotless, modern, and filled with great energy. I can 100% recommend it, and I’m already looking forward to going back next year. Love, love, love! 💖

Great location. Spotlessly clean and a great welcome

I really enjoyed ny stay over Sunday, no problems there. Sunday was the best day out to walk around the property and down the seafront

What a lovely hotel. Good rooms, modern, and in a great location to walk down the hill to the beach, or into the town. We enjoyed the pool, which is great for kids, and the bar area with outside space is perfect too, with a nice selection of board games. We didn't have breakfast, so can't comment on that. Paul and Vicky were so welcoming and helpful, we will definitely stay here again if we have the opportunity.

The staff were very welcoming, friendly and accommodating. Our room was clean and nicely decorated, with all the commodities required for a nice stay.
The breakfast was extremely nice, with a good selection, and catering for gluten free.
The location was great, a short walk away from Shanklin Chine and the beach.

The welcoming owners, the helpfulness, the relaxed atmosphere, the cleanliness and fresh decoration. The comfortable bed.
