  : Location was great, close to beach, bars and restaurants. Owners and staff were wonderful.
  : Thicker walls, needs aircon for warm days, more space in the room. Breakfast period is only one hour, I normally have late breakfast

  : Good views, good location, good breakfast. This hotel was very clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. The pool is also clean and catches the sun. There are lots of stairs!
  : The towels were not replaced when placed in the bath...I did request clean ones but it happened again the very next day. This is a shame as the rest of the stay was fine.

  : The bed was comfortable and the staff were friendly
  : It wasnt quite what were used to, needs updating and it smelt a bit damp. Its more dated than it appears in the pictures.

  : The room was so clean and fresh. Lots of small things that make a difference. The view was great. Parking was free. The pool was clean and not too cold.
  : The pool was quite deep, so not so ideal with my son who isn't a swimmer. I wasn't really sure what was available in terms of food in the evenings, so we just went out to eat.

  : Blackout curtains needed, more parking and hot water took ages to come through, ok once up to temperature, but too long to get there: minor gripes

  : I have visited the Havelock regularly, especially in recent post-Covid years, and it has become a particular favourite of mine. The location is ideal for the beach and cliff top, the Old Town and the town centre. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfasts are wonderful, though not good news when you are trying to lose weight !
  : The room was a bit on the small side and didn't face the front. Given the hot weather while I was there, I would have liked to be able to open the windows wider and ventilate the room a bit more. A desk to sit at while writing would have been useful. The bar could stock more local bottled ales. These are relatively minor complaints - I look forward to visiting the Havelock again next year !
