    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!
    Please note my property is strictly non smoking.

Winter stay in Swansea

The location was excellent. The property itself was beautifully decorated but with a several maintenance issues that arose it seemed it was more geared for summer rentals. Saying that we had a lovely stay with ample walks nearby and great pubs and restaurants.

Lovely period property that was well equipped and in a great location for walking to the seafront. You can also access the downs and the country park by walking up the hill. We always managed to park on the road, usually at the top of the hill. Would stay here again and recommend.

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.

Half term get away

We wanted a place to stay within walking distance of the beach & town, Nestleton was perfect. Amazing place, beautifully decorated and so close to everything, we never even needed the car! Excellent smart tv & Wi-Fi and heating and hot water was always available. We would definitely book again. Thank you Moira

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.

Great place to stay in Swanage

Despite Storm Dennis trying to put a dampener on our long weekend, we had a great trip. And this property was a huge reason why. It is extremely well decorated and looked after. After braving the elements outside for a while, it was so nice to come back to this cosy place. We traveled with our 3 daughters (11,9,8) and small dog. The kids loved the games in the house and the dog felt right at home. Moira was super nice and helpful on our email exchanges. The house is close to a number of pubs and restaurants but also has a great kitchen if staying in. All around great experience.

Close to town yet quiet

A nice maisonette with a small balcony off the lounge diner with sea view to the left. We had excellent communication with the owner. As we were only there for 4 nights we ate out so didn’t use the cooker just the microwave. Good size fridge freezer and plenty of crockery and cutlery. A few minutes walk into town and the quay area. We always managed to get parked on the street not far away but think it would be more difficult in school holidays. The house was comfortable with good white bedding. The garden are was very overgrown by the path which was a nuisance when the plants were wet.

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.

shabby chic !

We all enjoyed staying here...loved all the French shabby chic interiors....people with limited mobility may have difficulty with steps and stairs in the property....and there is a steep hill to climb,but that was ok with us.It was very well equipped and the sea views were lovely.The town of Swanage and its surroundings is very interesting..

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.
