About this property
New Forest cliff top apartment by the sea with distant view of the Needles
Come and stay in our fantastic apartment on the cliff top in beautiful Barton-on-Sea. Our apartment is named '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, donkeys, cows and pigs 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 the Pebble Beach restaurant where th head chef is was a finalist in TVs Masterchef - The Professionals. Alternatively you can spend some time swimming or just relaxing on Barton Beach.
Our apartment is ground floor making it very accessible, 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 with google 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.
There is a communal car park at the front of the building with enough space for every apartment to park a car and you can also park on most nearby side roads for free.
We do accept well behaved pets so if you want to bring them there is a £22 per pet fee (max of 2 - please make sure to tick the check box when you book to say you are bringing a pet and let us know how many)
Your hosts Ian and Jill look forward to welcoming you to Stones Throw soon.

Very clean, tidy apartment, ideally located for the beach and shops/ restaurants, quiet at night. Main bed very comfy. Great facilities.
We stayed with outdoor temps at +32 degrees and the apartment was cool and a nice sleeping temperature throughout our stay.
We travelled to various other her beaches all within 30mins and the hosts had left some great guides to the locale.
A great stay and thanks to the hosts 👍
Great location for us, right opposite a walk down to the beach and a good eaterie - Beachcomber and a lovely ice cream parlour next door.Great hosts left us fresh milk in the fridge and coffee/tea/sugar too - thanks!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Nice well equipped apartment.
Warm, easily adjustable thermostat.
Good size shower.
WiFi patchy, though owner was looking into this, really good prompt communication with them.
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.
We had a wonderful stay in your lovely apartment. It was the perfect base for exploring the local areas. It comes highly recommended from us. Just perfect. We will be back.
Thank you so much
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.
