About this property

New Forest cliff top apartment with distant view of the Needles

Come and stay in our fantastic refurbished apartment on the clifftop in beautiful Barton-on-Sea. We've named our apartment 'Stones Throw' as it is just a stones' throw from stunning Barton Beach which overlooks the Isle of Wight to the east and Hengistbury Head and Christchurch Bay to the west.

What's more it's on the doorstep of the New Forest National Park so you can enjoy both coast and countryside during your stay without having to travel very far at all. Within a half hour drive you can visit picturesque Lymington with its maritime history, Hurst Spit and Castle, historic Christchurch and numerous beautiful destinations in the Forest with its freely roaming ponies and abundant wildlife and well as a great selection of stunning beaches. You could even venture across the Solent on a day trip to the Isle of Wight from nearby Lymington. If you want to stay put you can enjoy a delicious lunch at the Beachcomber Cafe just over the road or spend your time swimming or just relaxing on Barton Beach.

Our apartment is ground floor and has double doors leading onto a patio and guests have use of the communal garden which looks out to sea. The main living area has a modern open plan kitchen, a dining table with four chairs, sofa bed and arm chair, plus TV. You can see the famous Needles off the Isle of Wight from the lounge window. The bedroom is a good size with a double bed and wardrobe and there's a bright and fresh modern bathroom with a double sized shower.

We do accept well behaved pets so if you want to bring them there is a £22 per pet fee (max of 2).

Your hosts Ian and Jill look forward to welcoming you to Stones Throw very soon.

Great base to explore the area

We stayed 2 nights. Booking and check-in couldnt have been easier. The apartment is in a great location and had everything we needed for our short stay. It was clean and tidy, with good heating and hot water. The shower was powerful, and the bed was comfy. We were able to watch our own Amazon and Netflix on the tv via the Google tv if you do this just remember to log out of your accounts on the tv before you leave. The wifi was decent. There's a good cafe and shop just over the road for essentials. The owner had left a pint of milk in the fridge which was welcome after a drive down from London. From here we did car trips to Bournemouth, Sandbanks, Hingistbury Head, and took the Sandbanks ferry over to Isle of Purbeck for Studland and the Blue Pool. If you're taking dogs, it's the perfect base, but be mindful the main door opens onto the road and you don't want your furry friend doing a runner when the door is opened. The garden isnt secure, which we knew, but our dogs need 4 or 5 walks daily anyway so not an issue. Traffic noise wasnt a problem despite being next to the main road, which is generally quiet. We couldnt get a parking space at the flats one night, but not a big deal as theres free road parking very nearby. If we had reason to go back to Barton we would stay here. It's budget friendly and well situated and felt like a home away from home.

Barton visit

Beautifully clean, smelt lovely throughout, comfy bed, fresh cosy linen/ duvet. Heating very good. All kitchen ware spot on. Thank you for a lovely stay. In the write up with Vrbo ( when you click on bedroom photo) it says to bring your own bedding.. but thankfully didn’t have to.

8 The Dome

Lovely location. Few great eating places nearby. Apartment is fine for two people, not adequate for 4. Bed comfortable and a nice big room. We found a few issues.1. The Information book unfortunately did not have any contact numbers for the hosts. Needed to report a problem. 2. We had an issue with the toilet. The flush was not very strong, it got block up with paper. We had to call a plumber which cost us 200.3. The shower heads were lime scaled. Managed to do the small head but the rain fall shower head was not working (needs replacing).4. No fire extinguisher or blanket.5. No hair dryer. 6. Top right hand slimline kitchen cupboard right of the extractor, the top hinge was coming away (so we did not use it).7. Biggest problem was not having a freezer/freezer compartment. We knew there wasn’t a freezer (thought we could manage, but it was definitely a problem). 8. Set of knives in wooden block were very blunt and difficult to cut anything.9. Outside sensor light would only stay on for about 10 secs. (Does need a longer time as it’s very dark and there is no other lighting and difficult to see).10. TV remote only worked occasionally. Overall it was okay but would not book this apartment again.

Great location and apartment

We only stayed for 2 nights but could not of picked a better location to stay. Apartment was clean and very well equipped and the hosts left some milk so we could have a cuppa on arrival. The cliff top is literally 20metres away with plenty of walks available overlooking the Isle of Wight . We would happily return and stay again.

Excellent spot to explore the area from

Excellent place to stay, had everything we needed and was spotless. We only stayed two nights, but would definitely come back for longer as there was plenty of space, facilities for just right and everything was clean. It didn't bother us, but others may find the noise from other flats, especially in the hallway, bothersome.

New Forest cliff top apartment

Very nice property in a lovely location close to all amenities and seafront. It was clean and cosy which made for a lovely break away. The only thing that would have improved the stay would have been a fridge freezer or freezer compartment in the fridge. Apart from that we would give 10 out of 10 for the property.

Long weekend

Great little apartment, in an ideal location. A short stroll to Barton beach and cliff top walks. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had all the equipment to make basic meals if needed. There are plenty of good café, pubs and restaurants locally. Only minor niggle, was having to provide towels.

Ideal location

Location was fantastic, across from the beach and 15 minutes to Christchurch. Had everything we needed. No secure garden for the dog, so always had to be on a lead, very noisy neighbours both above and to the side. TV remote had a mind of its own, changed volume when changing channels, increased volume when pressing to reduce the volume. The bedding was a massive problem for us. It was 100% polyester and just stuck to us like velcro!! Cotton bedding is a must!

Lovely place

Peaceful and very clean apartment only one minutes walk to the cliff top, another two to the beach. The needles can be seen from the window and all in all it was a lovely weeks break there and we would not hesitate recommending it to others and will return again in the future. The parking was fine and the only very slight gripe we could make is that the checking in time of 16.30 is in our opinion a little late but it was not a big issue . Nine and three quarters out of ten.

Good for an introduction to the area

Ideal for what we needed. Didn't use the garden seats as grass wasn't cut. Disappointed that the restaurants were closed for 2 consecutive nights but a good base for exploring the usual local attractions. Kitchenware very basic - would take more of our own for future visits, but good overall.
