New Forest cliff top apartment with distant view of the Needles

Come and stay in our fantastic newly 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.

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.

Super property in a very convenient location. It was clean and comfortable. TV remote took a bit of getting used to but just needs patience. Overall a nice property and very comfortable. BeachComber restaurant across the road is family run and serves 'to die for' breakfasts. Service is excellent.

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.

Good base with sea views
We stayed a week. It is true that you can see The Needles from the living room. The apartment is clean and well maintained. It is less than 100 yards to cliff top seats with panoramic views out to the Isle of Wight with the Beachcomber restaurant right by. A great base for a New Forest Holiday. We visited Bucklers Hard and also had an exhilirating time when we rented e-bikes for a day to explore the coastal path from Keyhaven to Lymington, from a nearby company called Jaunt-ebikes

Excellent location
Really impressed with the property. Owners answered question on parking promptly and we had no issues. More spacious than I had anticipated, really clean and had everything needed for a short stay. Great for a stay with our 2 dogs as the communal garden was right outside our door and beach as in the details was 5 min from the door. Barton-on-Sea is a little gem which we had never been to but would go again. Weather was also kind to us which helps.

Great weekend at Stones Throw, just the perfect location for what we wanted to do during our stay in Barton. A lovely touch was the pint of milk in the fridge so we were able to have a cuppa after our journey😊😊 Looking forward to making a return visit to Stones Throw.

Our trip to Barton-on-sea
The property was clean, tidy and homely. Care was taken to offer the welcome, bedding, milk/Tea and coffee available. All the basics were to hand; pots, cutlery, plates, glasses, microwave, chopping board and cleaning essentials. The area is lovely. We knew the area, but it was still a great experience being over the road from the sea front. We had lunch one day at the beachcomber. Everything was as expected and our few days break was thoroughly enjoyed by us all.

Just a couple of downsides
Only terrestrial TV. No iPlayer or means of using our Netflix & Prime accounts, essential on a winter break! Big downside for us was no ability to make ice for an evening G&T! Bad enough in winter but even worse in summer as no means to even keep ice cream, which we bought and wasted. Big plus is the excellent Pebble Beach restaurant just across the road where we had some very good cocktails and food.

We loved staying here. Everything was perfect for us & the dog. The apartment was spotlessly clean & had everything we needed. There’s so many great walks nearby & the views are amazing. We found plenty of places to eat & we could take Hunni too. Would highly recommend a stay here.

Property clean tidy and ready to go. The tap on the sink was bit harsh but once got used to it was ok. Close to shops eating and drinking places. Cliff House good for food short walk away. Lots of nice cliff top walks which are right outside the door. We slept with windows open and road noise not a problem. Dog had a great time too.
