About this property

4thedome - Where comfort meets the coast

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, ground floor,  comfortable and entirely yours. There's a king-size Hypnos bed, a rather super Italian double sofabed, 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 get on with booking it for it's outdoor dog spa ( minus the cucumber refreshers!).

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. Dog spa can be used to hose them down too. Double wammy.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Host

Host profile image
The people in charge. More or less.

Si owns the apartment.

Like many owners, he has strong views on how things should be done. Unlike many owners, he occasionally attempts to do them.

Claire manages day to day stuff.

She keeps everything running smoothly, knows where everything is, and has developed an impressive ability to identify which of Si's ideas are best admired from a safe distance.

Despite this, we have together created a place that's comfortable, relaxed, dog-friendly, child-friendly and adult-friendly too, which is surprisingly easy to overlook these days.

Should you need anything during your stay, Claire is the person to ask.

If you ask Si instead, he'll almost certainly consult Claire before replying.

We look forward to hosting you.
