Stone's Throw is accessed down a flight of steps to arrive at the front door.
The entrance hall of the apartment houses a picnic basket, two deckchairs and a portable BBQ, perfect for grabbing and decamping to the beach opposite.
To the left of the hall there is a rather fabulous wet room with under floor heating, heated towel rail, WC and handbasin.
To the right of the hall you enter the main living area furnished in a unique style including large antique wardrobe with a French Style mirror. The sitting area features a pair of gorgeous leather Loveseats, together with coffee table, flat screen TV with Sky and Sky movies. There is also a combined Radio/DVD/iPod player/Alarm and a selection of Games, books and DVD's to use and enjoy! There is an old school desk so guests can park their laptops. The mirrored coffee table has the added benefit of bouncing the light so the person opposite the window is bathed in beautiful light and looks their absolute best. Try it out! It even works on a dull day.
The King size Cabin style bed can be curtained off at night. The bed is very comfortable and has a pocket sprung mattress with a memory foam topper. The topper can be taken off if guests prefer a harder bed. Linen is 100% cotton and the duvet and pillows are all season feather. A non feather duvet can be provided on request.
The Kitchen and dining area has a newly installed fitted kitchen with a range style cooker, dishwasher, washing machine and microwave. The Chandelier has a dimmer and the table can be opened out to allow seating for 2 or 4 people.
New for 2013, a Nespresso coffee machine with integrated milk frother. Also a tray table by the bed, perfect for a lazy breakfast.
Further details outdoors:
Access is via a small patio garden, the property is across the road from the beach. There is a seating area with bistro table and chairs surrounded by potted plants. Parking is free.

I stayed at Stone's Throw for a week last year (it's taken me nearly a year to write the review) but I can remember my stay very well, which is always a good sign of a pleasant week! I had a lovely week pottering about in St Leonards, checking out the area. The flat was just lovely. It had everything you ever need - all mod cons and more. Beautifully furnished and the under floor heating in the shower room was a real treat. On nice days it was lovely to have breakfast outside - the lower ground aspect made it feel like a secret hideaway! My hosts were extremely helpful and made me feel at home. Great for a calm, relaxing time away from home. |
