Haven Hall is magnificent, a real home away from home, a spiritual gateway to a bygone age. The interior design is gorgeous: tastefully restored period furniture from the Edwardian era, charming soft cushions, an exquisitely crafted wooden fireplace from 1906, lovely lampshades everywhere, crystal chandeliers, splendid mantel clocks, model sailboats. From the outside you hear a gentle, trickling sound from a water fountain, coupled with the occasional calls of seagulls. However, when windows are closed, your room is absolutely quiet, you have a perfect serenity, I always had such a good night’s sleep. The garden is incredible: manicured lawns, flowers in full blossom, lavish palm trees, sweeping panoramic views to the sea. Birds and butterflies everywhere. Not even on the Mediterranean have I seen such a beautiful landscape. David and Arielle’s hospitality is second to none. Whenever I sent an inquiry before my arrival, they always replied within minutes. I was welcomed like a privileged friend in their house, nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was the highlight of my days. When I mentioned how much I had liked Arielle’s home-made banana bread during my previous stay, she kindly prepared one for the next day, even though it was not yet on the breakfast menu of the season. It was heavenly delicious with rhubarb custard and lemon curd, I could enjoy it every single day. I also adored their Eggs Royale with warm sauce hollandaise. This was my third stay here, but I have already made a new booking for September. I’m ever so happy and proud to have found such a blissful retreat on a fairy-tale island. I simply can’t have enough of this magical world. Highly recommend.

Location, view and value for money

Spectacular view and amazing host. The owner was running the place and their service was impeccable. As we were there at less busy period, they upgraded us to penthouse and let us stay well past the checkout time and the host have continuously come and spoke to us and gave us guidance

Having to book a time/ food for breakfast the day before?? Bar prices were ridiculous to say you had to make it yourself(pub prices where you get it made for you)???? Overpriced for a B&B (not hotel no food after 1100am).

Breakfast was really good. Friendly staff. Very clean room.

The breakfasts were fabulous with a superb choice , cooked and presented perfectly if only there was a lunch or evening meal offering.

Beautiful location, fabulous decor , attentive host and staff. A real gem in the Isle of Wight crown.

Haven Hall is amazing. Deeply touched my soul, I’m still enchanted by it. Originally I booked the Tennyson room, but David was kind enough to upgrade me to the Sailboats Suite, which was marvelous. All the glamorous reviews are absolutely justified. With my humble photos I’m just trying to do justice to the place, but you really need to see it to believe it. Highly recommend it, I can’t wait to return.

Nothing to dislike!

The location was superb with stunning views. The owner was on site and was very attentive. Nothing was too much trouble. The staff were delightful and very helpful. Lovely touches like home made honey,lemon curd,compote and banana bread which was delicious. A goody bag was provided on departure. Honesty bar in the hotel and poolside was a lovely feature.

The only thing I would say is that in GS4 (garden suit 4) a plug socket by the dressing table would be much easier that to keep moving the bedside table to plug in phone charger, hair dryer and straighteners etc. Its not a big problem, just an idea.

The owners are super amazing, couldn't do enough for us, gave us lots of tips and ideas about the Island. The staff are 2nd to none, so polite, friendly and helpful, the chefs cook the most amazing breakfast, the homemade lemon curd and honey is a must. The attention to detail is insane, the lady of the manor certainly has an eye for interior design. Our apartment was luxurious, clean and had everything we needed and more. The air con was a life saviour as it was so hot outside. The grounds have won best hotel gardens 4 years in a row and I can see why, they are manicured to an inch of their life, so beautiful, with the panoramic back drop of the sea, you feel like your abroad. Very romantic. Great swimming pool with clean towles and beautiful showers. All in all you get what you pay for and more.

If I must point to potential improvements I would suggest ability to book a slightly later breakfast slot (past 930 am) or to get a drink after 10 pm :-), some fresh fruit in the room, the option to get sandwiches made for a lunch time picnic - these would be perhaps easy to implement touches to further enhance the experience

Superb location (easy to get to, best to have a car), lovely gardens and views, small but perfect swimming pool well equipped with towels, showers and honesty bar, confortabile room (Charles Darwin) with very quiet air con, good plumbing and plenty of coffee and tea with nice crunchy biscuits, very good breakfast choices (to be selected the day before), welcoming check in and check out by the host without pressure to leave immediately at check out time, useful information provided on dinner options, easy and enjoyable walk to the beach, excellent cleaning and general upkeep, welcoming staff, environmental conscious use of solar panels etc - overall this was a very relaxing enjoyable stay
