Great Hotel
Our stay at The Havelock was extremely pleasant. The hotel was very clean and well presented. Paul and Vicky were excellent hosts and were always on hand for a friendly chat. The breakfast was very good and all the serving staff were so friendly and efficient. The location of the hotel is great - with old Shanklin village, Shanklin Chine and the beach all nearby. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Havelock and will hopefully return one day. Thoroughly recommend!

Good stay
We stayed in room 11 - although great access to the pool, there was noise from the kitchen area below (in the evening and early morning). The bathroom is far too small for a family suite. Good location - we got around on foot most of the time. Very friendly staff serving breakfast.

A gem of a place
We decided to have a staycation here this summer and it was wonderful. The place is run by a lovely couple who are very friendly and helpful. The location is amazing, a stone’s throw to the sea front and the old town and a 10 minute walk to the train station. It has a wonderful sea view from the terrace where you can sit and have drinks in the evening. It also has a heated swimming pool which is lovely on warmer days - it almost feels like you’re on the Mediterranean. Breakfast was delicious and the staff were always friendly and welcoming. We don’t usually do staycations but this is a place I would happily visit again. Highly recommend.

Fabulous Hotel. Highly recommend.
Our weekend at the Havelock was fantastic. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. The hotel was spotlessly clean and the attention to detail Was exceptional. The gardens were stunning and well deserved of the many awards. The breakfasts were amazing and Ann’s homemade jams were scrumptious. We highly recommend this hotel 100% and we will be back- hopefully when the sun is shining!.
What a variety- how spoilt are we?
Scrambled egg and salmon- delicious.
