Apartment too small for three adults & one medium size dog. Not very comfortable or cosy! Not a great location for dog users’ as taking dog out for wee etc was straight onto car park. Very expensive... See more

Our favourite place

Once again we had a lovely time at the flat in Barton. It had everything we needed & there were even treats for Hunni our dog. It’s the second time we’ve stayed here & will definitely be back next year. There’s lots going on & we enjoyed the Jersey Boys tribute in Pebble Beach & American Night at the Cliff house. Hunni was able to come along too! There’s lots of lovely walks & plenty of places to get refreshments. We love it there & can’t wait to come back.

What a great find ….
The apartment was easy to find, very clean and had all the home comforts. If you don't want to cook then there are some fabulous restaurants on the sea front. Simon & Claire made us very welcome to their luxury apartment with goodies in jars !! and coffee and teas for our arrival. Would recommend this apartment to anyone in the area.

Fantastic stay for my parents

Fantastic stay for my parents, everything in the apartment was so well thought out from the little touches like bread in the freezer, a coffee machine and milk to boot.
Incredibly clean, close to all local amenities and great hosts.

Great apartment

Lovely apartment with everything you need. We booked for 3 nights & could have stayed longer. Comfy bed, tea, coffee machine, treats for the dog - what more could ask for. Really close to the beach which was great for walking the dog. We ate at the Cliff House, 5 min walk away, a couple of times & food there very good. Also nice having a bit a garden at the side of the apartment that you can sit in. Couldn’t fault the place. We had a wonderful, relaxing stay. We will definitely book again.

Absolute Gem

I booked this absolute gem of a place for one night oh how I wished I'd booked for longer.Such a lovely apartment. Spotlessly clean,comfortable bed and a stones throw from the beach and restaurants. A welcome pack of bread butter milk water and eggs was there when we arrived and a tray with all sorts of goodies on including sweets and biscuits. A real home from home every amenity you could wish for.Check in easy and Si gave clear instructions. We will be booking again definitely this could be our new happy place.Loved it.

A truly indulgent gem

A truly luxuriously appointed apartment; with superb attention to detail, super-clean and a good size. Every amenity you could think of was available. The décor and colour scheme was relaxing with that boutique touch and feel; it really is a luxury of a gem, almost on the beach, close to restaurants, shops and touristy things to see. If you're looking for indulgence and luxury, then this place has it all - thoroughly recommend. Thank you Si for being a great host!

Great location, spotless and modern Accommodation.

We stayed at 4 the Dome last week for 2 nights (2 Adults, 1 child & 1 dog)
Our accommodation was modern, clean and in the perfect location along the sea front next to some lovely restaurants.
There were thoughtful little touches with bread, eggs, tea and coffees, our daughter was made up with the sweetie jar, as well as our dog with the treats!
Great communication with Simon leading up to our stay too which was reassuring!
We would definitely return and highly recommend!

We had an excellent stay at the Dome in early September. The flat is beautifully clean and well laid-out. There is ample parking outside and it is just a short walk to restaurants, cafes, a convenience store and the cliff-top/beach. The flat has clearly been modernised with new appliances and facilities. There is everything you could require for a short stay and the owners provide some basics which are very helpful if you arrive late. The main bed is very comfortable and the lounge sofa converts to a bed as well. There is ample wardrobe storage. There is an excellent shower.

We would recommend the Dome for anyone looking to stay on the coast side of the New Forest. Places to visit are just a short drive away and so this is a great base for your holiday.

We stayed for 2 nights and the accommodation was fantastic, it was modern, clean and comfortable. The sofa bed was fantastic, it was comfortable and very easy to transform from a bed into a sofa. We found the accommodation plenty big enough for 2 adults and 2 young children and we all had a lovely time. The location was great being on the sea front and perfect for us as we were visiting a friend who only lives 5 minutes away. We went to a lovely restaurant on the sea front called 'The Cliff House' that I would definitely recommend.
The owners were very helpful and extremely friendly.
We will definitely be booking again in the future.

Excellent apartment with seaside and New Forest nearby

Yes, indeed a 5 star rating for a place to stay in the UK! I travel a lot for work, and to find a nice place to stay in the UK is seemingly impossible. The apartment was absolutely lovely, nice quiet area with the seaside across the road. For anyone looking for a apartment to stay at in New Milton, this is a definite thumbs up for me.

Apartment, 4 The Dome

We had a lovely break at this apartment and it was faultless. Very clean, very well appointed and had the most comfortable bed/pillows. Some lovely touches including milk, eggs, bread, butter plus other essentials (including wine) were waiting for us on arrival. It's in a perfect location and actually I'm just about to re-book for next year. I've already recommended it to friends.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and want to come back. Have a look at our reservations diary at www.4thedome.co.uk to see availability. We also have a ground floor sister apartment next door that we have recently made available after a complete refurbishment to the same standards as 4thedome.co.uk. You can see all the details at www.3thedome.co.uk. Why not bring some friends when you come again? We can accommodate 8 people across both apartments now!

The apartment was great

The apartment was great, very clean and fresh. Everything had been well thought through, toiletries in the bathroom, everything we needed for breakfast, even fresh milk in the fridge. Located just opposite the beach, we had a lovely walk in the morning. Would be delighted to go back there again.
