Honestly, having to park at the entrance and walk along that gravel path was quite the hassle. The noise from cars and people crunching on the gravel, especially at night, really got on our nerves. Its a bit inconvenient and spoiled the experience a little.

Visitor Reviews of Salterns Village
Really enjoyed our stay, such a charming and comfortable little cottage, felt like home.
We had a lovely stay at this cosy little cottage near the nature reserve. The place was spotless and kept in great condition, perfect for exploring the area. The only thing missing was a dustpan and brush in the kitchen, which wouldve been handy. The beds were a bit firm, but overall, wed definitely recommend it for a nice break!
We really appreciated how well everything was organised and the place itself was just lovely. The hosts were genuinely warm and super helpful. Its honestly been a fantastic trip and were already planning to return soon!
Great holiday, would definitely go again!
The isl and was beautiful and perfect for a relaxing break, though we wish wed had more time to explore everything. Sadly, Osborne House was only open to the gardens, which was a bit of a letdown. Still, we really enjoyed the Monkey Haven and the overall vibe of the place!
Really enjoyed our stay, it was just what we needed to unwind and relax.
The owners are genuinely lovely and super helpful, especially when the storm knocked out the power. The cottage is spotless, well-equipped and really cosy. Our dog loved the enclosed yard and we enjoyed the hot tub too!
The place was spotless and well-equipped, which we really appreciated. The only downside was the pillows-they were way too soft and didnt offer much support. Otherwise, it was a really good stay!
We had a really lovely stay! The cottage was spotless and had everything we could possibly need, plus some nice little touches. Highly recommend!
Overall, we found the cottage to be decent and tidy, though its clear its seen better days and could do with a thorough clean. The decking was very slippery when wet, so wed advise caution, especially for anyone a bit unsteady on their feet. Not bad, but could be improved!
We had an amazing time! The location is absolutely stunning and wed definitely come back if we visit the Isle of Wight again.
We had a lovely stay overall, but a couple of things could be better. The fridge was a bit on the tiny side, which was a pain. Also, there wasnt much for a 9-month-old to do. Still, it was a great break and well return once the babys a bit older!
We loved this charming cottage, especially the cosy log burner and the relaxing hot tub. The hosts were wonderful and super friendly. Can't wait to come back!
We loved the peaceful setting of this holiday home, surrounded by nature. The courtyard with its slate flooring was charming and the hot-tub really made it feel special. Perfect for relaxing walks too!
We loved staying at this charming cottage - its perfectly tucked away yet close enough to everything we needed. The hot tub and underfloor heating in the bathroom were real highlights. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie made us feel so welcome. Cant wait to return for a longer stay!
We had a lovely stay! The owners were genuinely warm and thoughtful, making us feel really welcome. The cottage itself is adorable, with that charming half-timbered look and a lovely, strong shower. The bed was comfy and the cosy lounge and kitchen made it feel like a home away from home. Parking right next to the property was super convenient. Plus, the area offers great walks to Thaxted and easy trips to see the windmill and village charm. Definitely recommend!
Overall, the cottage was well-equipped and comfy. Just a bit more cutlery would make it perfect for our stay!
Great stay, would recommend
Really enjoyed the trip, very chill experience
Really happy with this
Comfortable and easy stay
We really enjoyed our day here, the setting is beautiful and the dogs loved exploring everywhere!
The cottage was spotless and I genuinely felt reassured that everything was thoroughly sanitised during these COVID times. Its a shame the cafe was shut because it wouldve been perfect to sit outside and enjoy some company while maintaining social distancing. Hope it reopens soon!
Seaview was lovely, super clean and peaceful. Not much for kids on-site, but perfect for biking and long beach strolls. We really enjoyed it!
We had a really lovely stay at Goddard's Mead. The owners, Rob & Sharon, put a lot of care into transforming this historic building and it shows. They were so welcoming from the moment we arrived, along with Bonnie, of course. The place offers everything you need for a comfy, relaxing break. Plus, the location is perfect for exploring Essex - we spent ages wandering around Thaxted and nearby villages, soaking up the history and charming buildings. Would definitely recommend!
We had a lovely, relaxing stay! The isl and has so much to offer, but a week isnt enough to see it all. We specifically wanted to visit Osborne House, but only the gardens were open, which was a real letdown. Still, everything else was pretty nice and we really enjoyed Monkey Haven too.
The cottage was okay, quite tidy but clearly showing some wear and tear. It could do with a proper clean. The deckings pretty slippy when wet, so folks who arent steady on their feet should be careful-especially in rainy weather. Not perfect, but decent enough!
Great holiday, would definitely come back again!
We had a fantastic time in this stunning place! If we visit the Isle of Wight again, staying here is a no-brainer.
Lovely quiet area. 2 nice local pubs. Seafront is a 2-3 minute walk away.
The property we stayed in was nice and spacious, well looked after and plenty of shared outdoor space for our kids to run around. The Cafe on site wasn’t open at all during our stay. Possibly only open during holiday terms when busier. Would recommend salterns village though and we’ll be back next year.
We loved our week so peaceful and relaxing the coastal walks were fantastic and started just a cross the road from the site amazing, definitely the break I needed ?? only wish we had stayed long ,
Excellent location. Great walks from village and easy access to the remainder of the Island
I was really surprised at the beautiful cottage.really clean and spacious.not far from the beach and lovely walks.
Just returned from a lovely week at Salterns. We stayed in the 2 bedroom lodge which was great. The beach across the road was amazing and the kids loved it.
The village was well maintained and in a lovely quiet area.
Sadly the cafe was out of use during our stay due to covid social distancing policy.
If you want a calm relaxing holiday in a beautiful setting, easy access to the beach and walks this is the place to go, staff are really lovely and helpful, it was spotless not just the house but the area as well.
Beautiful settings, very peaceful and lovely location. Cottage was perfect for what we needed and very clean and tidy when we arrived. All staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend and we would rebook too! Thanks for a lovely holiday!!!
