Neil was very friendly and was there to welcome us on arrival. The flat was in a convenient location for the beach and was comfortable for our needs. Although it was a little further from a local newsagent. Would stay there again.

The Haven was perfect for our visit to Isle of Wight. It was suitable for a dog with the patio and garden. Very quiet, clean and comfortable to stay in. Bonus car park space for the anyone staying at The Haven. Great location close to the beach too. Our host, Neil, met us on arrival and was incredibly helpful and kind. We couldn’t have a friendlier face after our long day to get there, and felt we could relax in the safe haven.
