This hotel is by far one of the best hotels we have stayed in (at any price). The rooms are spotless and the beds are very comfortable, (not rock hard as in most hotels these days), the staff are friendly but very professional, the hosts David & Anne are superb ie: very welcoming, very obliging, nothing is too much trouble...

We stayed for the weekend and the hotel is great. The breakfast is really good and served by very friendly staff, the rooms are very clean and modern. The hotel is ideally situated to walk into Shanklin within 10 minutes and the same distance from the beach. You have a really friendly welcome and they do everything possible to accomodate... More

The ladies that serve breakfast are the nicest people that you could wish to meet, happy to keep serving more if you want it. There was a small Bar and plenty... More

Stayed at the Havelock as a walking group of three. Ideal as it gave us our own en-suite rooms for a very reasonable price of £36 each. Rooms are compact but very clean and well maintained with all amenities such as tea coffee making facilities, tv and shower toiletries in the bathroom. Very peaceful and quiet. Owner is very friendly... More

Stayed here on business and found the staff very friendly, rooms very clean tidy & comfortable. Probably the best nights sleep whilst away. Breakfast really good with an excellent selection, the homemade warm bread is a must. More
