Awarded Aspire Magazine's "Hidden Gem of Dorset 2016", Nestleton is a beautiful 3 double bedroom (plus travel cot) maisonette occupying the top two floors of a Victorian house, with sea views, balcony, open fire and courtyard garden. The sun streams onto the balcony and front of the house in the morning, perfect for an al fresco breakfast, and streams into the back of the property in the evening. The maisonette has its own entrance and is accessed via a side staircase. Great care and attention has been given to furnishing the maisonette in a beautiful romantic French style and it is only a 5 minute stroll into Swanage town with its many cafes and restaurants, restored Victorian pier, steam railway and long sandy beach - great for children. It is also a great place for water-sport lovers, and has a scuba diving school by the pier. Durlston country park and castle is only a 15 minute walk away and the property location will therefore also suit walkers who wish to explore the Jurassic coastline and this area of outstanding natural beauty. Corfe Castle, Studland Bay, Poole Harbour, Brownsea Island and Blue Pool to name just a few, are all in close proximity to Swanage. Children and pets are very welcome!

Wonderful accommodation in a fantastic location
We stayed here as a group of children and adults and we all thoroughly enjoyed the time and wished we could stay longer. The maisonette is spacious and beautifully decorated. It is a very short walk to shops and the beach. A perfect base for our family holiday.

Lovely House, great Location
A really nicely presented house, we loved the balcony and sitting out in the morning. Just a 200m to the town which had everything we needed and lots of things locally to entertain. Loads of extras like games, video games and TV channels. I'd highly recommend.

Smashing Place to Stay!
Communication from the owner before you arrive is great, you know exactly what to expect & where to locate all the important things cutting down potential stress. The location is good, really close to the town & all it's amenities, a short walk to most places but far enough away from any hussle & bussle. The only down side is the lack of parking but the owner gives handy tips on where to park before you arrive. Inside the property is beautiful with high spec throughout, obviously well loved & maintained by it's custodians it is a lovely place to stay. We were sad to leave.

Fabulous property, with fabulous views and a very friendly owner.
Searching through Vrbo for a last minute family holiday in Dorset we chanced upon this property and knew instantly this is where we wanted to stay. Moira was exceptionally friendly and attentive throughout the booking process and once arrived we knew we had made a great choice. With a "shabby chic " look the property is full of character and is extremely welcoming. Each room was a delight but the balcony topped it off. We were lucky with the weather and were able to enjoy breakfast outside with great views to the sea, along with watching some very bad drivers try to reverse park on a steep hill! (The parking proved to be no trouble - we were lucky to have a place outside for the whole duration of our stay). Staying in April, it did go cold at night, but the heating is quick and efficient and soon warmed up - we had no need to use the fire but I would imagine that would be so cosy in the winter. Everything we needed was available in the kitchen, except for a lack of tea spoons, but that is hardly a problem! The beds were all very comfortable. We thought the bed in the Master was a memory foam bed, until we realized at the end when stripping the beds that it was actually just a lump of foam - it was so comfy I might just do that at home when mine needs replacing! Now back home, we are already planning on booking a return. Sooner the better I hope.

The perfect seaside retreat
We had a wonderful holiday, staying with the whole family, kids and grandparents. The property is perfectly located a few minutes from the high street, beach and pier. Beautiful sunrise and sea views from the balcony and the master bedroom is spacious and serene. It’s really well equipped and the welcome pack is a lovely bonus. On a clear day take a walk through Durlston Country Park to the castle. Studland Beach is heavenly. The Pierhead is a fantastic restaurant.

A lovely place to stay
We had a very enjoyable holiday in Swanage. It's a quaint Victorian town with safe sea bathing and many interesting places to visit and for walking in wonderful countryside. Nestleton is a very attractive property with fascinating decor. The beds are really comfortable, and the facilities good. There are plenty of games for the children to play. Good quality cooker, dishwasher, washing machine and fridge in the kitchen. Downstairs there is a pretty little courtyard area which is good for al fresco eating. We thoroughly recommend Nestleton.
