          “Really made to feel welcome”

          The Havelock is ideally located in Shanklin, a short distance from the Chine, the seafront and the Old Town with plenty to see and places to eat. It’s also possible to leave the car behind and arrive by the quirky Island line 1940s underground train, which is 10 min brisk walk away. It’s not a cheap hotel but you do pay for the location. Amenities include a heated pool which we used. Only downside was the double bed which had a mattress which had seen better days and was uneven. Enjoyed our short stay and would recommend.
