My family stayed here for a break at Easter and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The breakfast service was exceptional and something we looked forward to every morning, great food, and very experienced friendly serving staff who also made the whole experience fantastic. I spent every evening down in the bar and had many interesting conversations with Dave who made us... More

We stayed again at the Havelock and didn't want to leave! We get rest, excellent breakfast, comfortable rooms and the best service from Ann, Dave and their very kind staff. It makes all the difference to stay with such a close knit team! Plus sea views! I'm already saving for the next trip now! More

The Havelock impressed us with great breakfast, friendly and knowledgeable staff and a very plush room. The owners booked our ferry ahead of the trip (great idea) and made us welcome straight away. It is positioned in a great little area and is walking distance to good food and drink (try the fishermans cottage). I would recommend this hotel to... More

The Havelock offers an excellent location to explore Shanklin with only a few minutes walk to the sea front, old village and the town centre. We stayed for 4 nights but could have easily stayed for longer. We were welcomed by one of the proprietors (Dave) who was very friendly and helpful, in fact I don't think I have come... More
