Haven Hall Hotel

My wife and I have just enjoyed a fantastic week on the Isle of Wight at the lovely Haven Hall Hotel. The room, which offered views over the extensive grounds and out to sea, was beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean, as was the rest of the hotel. But perhaps what we appreciated most was the personal touch. Each day, David listened to our plans and offered the benefit of his local knowledge, helping us make the most of our day. Also much appreciated was the list of excellent local restaurants, many of which would not have been obvious choices. I cannot praise David, Arielle, the lovely staff, and the hotel itself highly enough, and I look forward to returning soon.

Haven Hall is a beautiful small hotel set in immaculate grounds overlooking the sea. Our room was very well appointed and comfortable. A delicious breakfast was served in the dining room and some of the bedrooms- including ours have a well equipped kitchen. The owner and his team are friendly efficient and enthusiastic. A great place to stay

A very last minute stay arranged to accommodate two major curved balls that greatly affected my plans for visiting the IoW. It had not on my radar originally as it is ‘well outside what I planned to spend’. For some guests staying here will just be ‘chump change’. Wearing a pair of investment boots and coat over supermarket clothing I walked up the hill, pulling my little suitcase for 15 mins, to find a beautiful, imposing locked gate. Happily, a tradesman arrived and I was cordially greeted by David. Haven Hall is a labour of love and expression of a pair of keen intellects who have strived to create a beautiful environment for all visitors that cross the threshold. Your washstand is bespoke - designed, cut to precise measurements and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The eggs for breakfast are laid that morning by the hens and taken by David to the kitchen. The brass work has ‘ been rescued’ and reworked to gleam under the lamplight. The gardens are carefully designed to provide beautiful vistas without compromising guest privacy. As hosts, David with Arielle are cordial and clearly seek to facilitate a restful, enjoyable stay with excellent advice about IoW sights and places to eat to accommodate all pockets. It is bed and breakfast only but if you stayed for a month you could have a different breakfast each day as the choice is so vast! Whatever, the reason for your visit just be armed with good manners, a respect for property and person for then you will leave feeling totally refreshed and pampered!!!

A superb hotel. The attention to detail is impressive and the cleanliness of rooms, common areas and restaurant is exceptional. Breakfast is delicious with a good range of dishes that appeal to all. The grounds are beautiful and very well maintained. Our room was self catering and well equipped. There are walks nearby and Shanklin village and esplanade are well served with food outlets. Special mention should be made of our host, David, who was welcoming, helpful and completely charming. His advice about travelling to and from the Island was useful as was his description of sites to visit and restaurants to try. Thank you to everyone who made our short stay so enjoyable.

An outstanding venue on the cliffs overlooking Sandown/Shanklin Bay. The accommodation is superb, as are the breakfasts. Could not be bettered. The owner is a most helpful and welcoming host and it would be difficult to find a better venue on the IOW. Thoroughly recommended.

This trip was a treat for my Mum and it didn't disappoint despite the terrible weather. The owner, David, was very welcoming and took the time to talk to all his guests at breakfast and make suggestions on places to visit. The breakfast was delicious, varied and plentiful with local produce and homemade treats. The bed, bedding and pillows were super comfy and slept really well. Loved the turn down service and chocolate on the pillow. Fantastic views from the hotel and gardens. Really interesting to see how the hotel was renovated and David is rightly very proud of it.

Where do I begin! The stunning ornate gates opened and we entered the oasis of calm, peace and tranquillity of Haven Hall. The house has been lovingly renovated with attention to every detail by our wonderful hosts, David and Arielle The rooms are beautiful and immaculate resulting in a very comfortable relaxing stay. The Full English cooked breakfast was faultless and in our opinion topped The Ritz! Every member of the team that we encountered was polite, helpful with a “nothing is too much bother” attitude. Thank you for a blissful weekend.

We went as two couples touring the Isle of Wight and had the pleasure of staying at a gem of an inn: Haven Hall Hotel overlooking the water and the stunning white cliffs of the island. The owner, David, welcomed us and explained the various amenities available to us in detail. The property is absolutely beautiful, the building has been fully renovated and quite luxurious. Rooms were very comfortable and quiet, all areas were sparkling clean. Parking is very convenient and help is available to move luggage upstairs. They offer a light breakfast which is fresh and delectable. We even had access to a washer and dryer, and an extra bathroom. No complaints whatsoever, but we wouldn't have minded a few more drawers in our room (so few hotels these days provide ample storage space for clothes.) We highly recommend Have Hall for discerning travelers.

WOW is the word we can use at this hotel. Everything was so beautiful, we wondered if we had been transported into some romantic novel. The scenery is stunning from the hotel, with lovely places to sit and enjoy the views, particularly lovely from the Dining Room. David is a most informative and helpful host and kindly upgraded our room for our Anniversary which was AMAZING! It was a fabulous time at Haven Hotel, we will never forget it! Don’t think about going to this hotel, just do it!
