  • Highly recommended! – Valeriia from United Kingdom (10/10)

    We had the most wonderful stay at Haven Hall Hotel! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and hospitality. The hotel is beautifully designed, blending classic elegance with modern comfort.

    The owner and the staff went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our stay was perfect, from the delicious breakfasts to the thoughtful recommendations for local attractions. The gardens are beautifully maintained, offering a peaceful retreat to relax and unwind.

    Overall, Haven Hall Hotel exceeded all of my expectations. It’s a true gem, and I can’t wait to return.

  • It was delightful to stay at Haven Hall Hotel as it was very welcoming. Recommended 100% – Ashraf from United Kingdom (10/10)

    The Hotel is elegant, very well taken care of, and has a very homey feeling..starting from the gates, the nice massive gardens, grass tennis court, and etc there is a welcoming aura about Haven Hall Hotel. David, the owner, along with ALL his staff are very friendly, super attentive & responsive, and simply make you feel that they are very keen in ensuring your needs are well catered for, in the friendliest of manners.
    The Sailboat suite was clean, smaller than what it appeared like in the picture but it has all that is listed. The quality of furniture, finishing, etc is of above standard level so cannot complain. Kitchenette is also very comprehensive (fridge/microwave/kitchenware/cutlery/etc) even though we didn’t use it.
    Room cleaning is very nicely done when you’re out with no disturbances and they were nice enough to leave us some nice chocolate and prepared the bed for when we came back at night.
    Breakfast is made to order and was done as per expectations and the chef/staff were happy to cater for slight changes too. Options on offer to choose from are quite reasonable (choices have to be submitted the day before).
    David, was also very helpful with suggestions for lunch/dinner locations (a useful list was made available), super useful advice of having to pre-arrange taxis to and from to avoid long waits, as well as activities/attractions he recommends were all much appreciated & useful!

    Thank you David & team, and we look forward to our next visit to Havel Hall Hotel 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 5* no doubt

  • The best hotel on the island – Elaine from United Kingdom (10/10)

    Very attentive and approachable owner, who ensured all guests were happy and have all they need. The apartment was very well equipped and a pleasure to stay in. The grounds and view were just amazing and we wouldn't hesitate to return.

  • stunning location and exceptional hotel – Joanne from United Kingdom (10/10)

    stunning hotel and location, exceptional customer service I would 100% recommend

  • An acquired taste. – Lorraine from United Kingdom (9/10)

    The views. Stunning. The Garden is well maintained. The Rooms were lovely, cool (as it was a hot weekend), comfortable and elegantly decorated. However, unlike a true hotel, it is a little DIY in terms of being able to use what is on offer. The sun beds & outdoor (iron) seats have no padding. So there is a tennis court and a swimming pool (which was anyway under repair at time) but it is not evident how to access the accoutrements (i.e. rackets, balls, pool towels). Breakfast was great but slow. And though our party specifically highlighted food intolerances, the dishes contained the items we could not tolerate. Fortunately, it was an intolerance vs a severe allergy.

  • The hotel is in a stunning location overlooking the sea, with superb accommodation. – Maria from United Kingdom (10/10)

    We had a most gorgeous 5 days holiday staying at The Haven Hall hotel. We have stayed at the best hotels on the coast of Dorset and Hampshire but this hotel is way above the standards to be found there and well worth the few extra miles. The hotel is a beautiful house in a superb location. The house and extensive grounds are maintained to the highest standard, with exceptional attention to detail. David and his wife have created a wonderful ambience for guests which is also their home. Breakfasts are delicious with a wide variety catering for all diets. Although the hotel does not offer evening meals, the Isle of Wight now has many gourmet restaurants specialising in seafoods and locally grown produce. Thank you for a most wonderful holiday.

  • We’d definitely return – Sarah from United Kingdom (9/10)

    We stayed in Seaview 2 which was just next to the main house and had beautiful sea views and morning sunshine. The room was comfortable with seating area and very well equipped with fridge, toaster etc. The hotel overall is stunning, the gardens are very well kept and you can sit out and enjoy the views of the weather is good. The pool is a lovely sheltered area to relax with towels provided. Breakfast had lots of choice. As vegetarians we were well catered for.

    We were able to charge our electric car during the stay which was very useful. Location wise you can easily take the footpath down towards the seafront where there is cafes, ice-creams etc. To get to the main town centre it’s about 20 mins walk which is where the main pubs and restaurants are.

    We found the hotel to be well situated to visit all different parts of the island. Definitely recommend Coast in Cowes for a nice meal. We also had good meals at Pendletons in Shanklin and The Bistro in Ventnor.

    David is a great host and had lots of tips on where to see and was flexible with check in/ checkout which we appreciated
