The Havelock

We have just returned from our first time staying at The Havelock and we will definitely be coming back. We could not have wanted more from our stay. The hotel is in a great location and has the added benefit of a lovely pool which we used several times during our stay. There is also private parking which we found very useful. Paul & Vicky work really hard and they are both lovely and knowledgeable about the area, nothing is too much trouble for them and they are brilliant hosts, also their 3 girls are adorable, very well behaved funny and entertaining. The rooms are well presented, have everything you need and are spotlessly clean. The cooked breakfast was excellent and the waitresses do a great job and are very pleasant. There is also a lovely bar area which is a lovely place to start or end your evening in. Looking forward already to our next visit. Mark & Jo 12.08.2025

I've just got home from a week's stay with my family at The Havelock and I have to say this hotel made our holiday really special. We're regular visitors to the IOW and usually self-cater but due to sharing our holiday this year with extended family we thought we would book a hotel... and we are so glad we chose the Havelock. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by the owners, Paul and Vicky. Paul helped my Mother in Law upstairs with her case while Vicky did the introductions to the hotel and showed us to our rooms. Throughout our stay P & V were always to hand when we needed anything and they would be working in the bar most evenings. Rooms - The rooms were clean, spacious and recently decorated. The ensuite was modern and stylish with a decent shower. The maid cleaned the room daily and replenished towels etc... Breakfast - A great choice of breakfast, whether you just want a bowl of cereal to a Full English, with pretty much everything in between. The Lounge - The Lounge was the heart of the hotel. Welcoming and comfortable, the highlight for me was watching the Lioness's win the Euros in that very lounge, complete with patriotic bunting. There was a fantastic selection of drinks and I was especially impressed when a drink I requested wasn't stocked but they got it in especially the next day. The pool - I wasn't sure if I was going to use the pool when we made our booking but with a youngish family it really did enhance our stay. It was certainly a great way to fill the time in between returning from the beach/exploring the island and heading out for an evening meal. Overall, Havelock was a fantastic place to spend our holiday. Paul and Vicky really know how to run a hotel and work very hard so we could relax. I will definitely be going back.

Just got back from a week staying here with my family. Very nice. Friendly owners. Rooms serviced every morning and very quickly. Very good location. My son loved going in the pool each morning.
