About Company
Arielle and David Barratt welcome you to Haven Hall. We love meeting new people and we are very much involved in running our privately owned Hotel. So, we look forward to meeting you during your stay. From the first moment we saw this location and this view, we knew this lovely old Arts & Crafts Country House could be spectacular. The unusually expansive sea view makes the 2 acres of Gardens seem so much bigger. The peaceful quiet energy, unique charm and beauty of the whole Island also won our hearts. We hope you enjoy your time here, as much as we do.
How did this quintessential Edwardian House come to be a Hotel? Like the original owners who built the House in 1908, Arielle & David wanted to live in a house by the sea. By chance our search took us to the Isle of Wight. In 2013 we bought the property as a 'retirement project'. Although neither David nor Arielle intended to embark on a massive building renovation project, both had previous experience with property development and restoration. After 4 years of renovations Haven Hall became the happy result of our collaboration and combined talents – something to be proud of! Ask to see our 'Book of the Restoration' for a picture tour of the works.
Alan Titchmarsh has awarded Haven Hall 'The Best Hotel Garden on the Isle of Wight' in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021& 2022. Flower gardens, sea side grasses, palm trees & flax enhance the view from the spacious patio next to a Victorian cherub fountain. Roses and terraces of flowers surround the heated swimming pool, fire pit, grass tennis court and large croquet lawn (also used by helicopters). The entire property is very secluded and secure, with high fencing, security cameras and grand entrance gates.
