This was our 2nd stay since March 2025 as it is the perfect base for us to explore Dorset and the New Forest with our 2 dogs. Booking easy and comms with the host are straight forward and timely. and importantly, in an area that has lots of properties that I would say are expensive (I'm in London!), the price is decent for what you get. The apartment is a good size, comfortable, modern, and has pretty much everything you will need (bring your own towels). The host kindly supplied a pint of milk which is very welcomed, along with tea/coffee/sugar, cooking oil and salt/pepper. Good oven and ceramic hob, toaster and filter coffee maker. Ample hot water and heating if you need it, which you control. Good wi-fi and TV with all the usual channels which can access your Netflix and Amazon accounts too (just remember to log out). The TV has USB port if you wanted to play a movie from a flash drive. Good hot shower. Didn't use the washing machine/tumble but might be handy for those staying for longer than we did. Barton-on-Sea is lovely, low-key and quiet by evening. Great places to walk the dogs, and handy cafe and small shop just over the road. We managed to get parking on the premises on all but one of the days, but on-road parking is nearby and you can see your car. The apartment is on the main road, but the area is so quiet you wouldn't notice - if you take your dog just be mindful it doesn't make a run for it when you open the door. Highly recommend!
