Embrace the refreshing sea breeze and the tranquility of seaside living with unparalleled convenience to the beach. See the gallery page for an aerial photo of the location.

Whether you're seeking a romantic escape or a family adventure, comfort is assured.
Pet-Friendly Paradise: Welcoming your four-legged family members, we provide complimentary dog bowls, walky waste bags and scooby snacks. Plus, after walkies , there is an outside warm water doggy shower with a grooming kit attachment. A modest contribution to my dedicated housekeeper for the extra cleaning is requested.

Access the apartment with ease via your private entrance, and enjoy free parking for one car on th If you're thinking about a few days by the sea, this is the part where we're supposed to tell you about the apartment.
So here goes.
It's private, comfortable and entirely yours. There's a king-size Hypnos bed, a shower that's suspiciously difficult to leave, and enough tea, coffee and essentials to make arriving feel less like checking in and more like being expected.
Dogs are welcome too. Yours has probably already decided this looks excellent and is quietly waiting for you to catch up.
Children are welcome as well. We realise they may not have been entirely consulted during the booking process, but Barton has beaches, ice cream and enough space to run about. They'll cope.
The beach is across the road. The New Forest is next door. And for a few days at least, whatever's currently filling your inbox can wait.
Check the reviews. Not to shabby.

We had a wonderful stay. Apartment had everything you need. Close to the beach which was great. Our dog enjoyed himself too & a bonus there were doggie treats left for him. We went to the Cliff House just 5 min walk for a couple of meals. I would recommend the apartment I anyone. We will definitely be returning. Thanks Simon
Lovely modern spotlessly clean apartment with everything I needed for a 4 day stay. Very impressed with contact with host before & after arrival who was nearby should any problems occur.
Beautiful oceanside views and very close walk to water. Accomodations were great and owner was gracious about having a last minute extra person stay...thank you! At this time of the year there is not much to do in the area but we drove to some amazing spaces nearby!
Just as described. Nice and comfortable and we love the area. Lovely welcome tray and treats and Linda checked to see we were happy and had everything we needed. High quality fittings, will stay again.

About the host
Hosted by Host
## Simon & Claire
Welcome to 4 The Dome.
I'm Simon. I own the place. Claire keeps it running properly. Between us we've created the sort of apartment we'd actually want to stay in ourselves.
You'll find a ridiculously comfortable bed, a shower you'll spend too long in, proper coffee, a well-equipped kitchen and, most importantly, no hotel nonsense.
We're just a couple of minutes from the beach and on the edge of the New Forest, so whether you're here to walk, eat, work, switch off or simply avoid real life for a few days, you've picked a good spot.
We live locally, so if you need anything during your stay, just get in touch. We know the best beaches, pubs, cafés, walks and dog-friendly places—and if we've forgotten something in the apartment, we'll sort it.
Enjoy your stay. The sea's waiting.
