We loved it at The Haven, Shanklin. The Garden is gorgeous, like a secret garden and lovely to sit in. The flat met all our needs. Anyone who knows the Isle Of Wight will know just how valuable the private and secure parking space is. The Haven will now be our place to stay every time we come back to visit our family who all live on the island. Neil greets you with a very warm welcome. The location is great for getting around the island, even within walking distance for the train to Ryde.
