Beautiful Maisonette in Swanage, Dorset, England - 5 Minutes Walk To The Beach
Awarded Aspire Magazine's "Hidden Gem of Dorset 2016", Nestleton is a beautiful 3 double bedroom (plus cot bed and 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! Calendar is kept up to date, please click the "enquire now button" if you have any questions and to request the quick and easy booking form (free from 'book now' surcharges). Payment by bank transfer or credit card through Pay pal, covered by OD basic rental guarantee.
About Moira Lamond
Living and working in London has its benefits, but we have enjoyed nothing more than escaping to Dorset for weekends and holidays for the last 25 years. As keen camper vaners we have spent many weeks travelling around the Purbeck area enjoying its amazing natural beauty.We have become qualified scuba divers at Swanage diving school, water ski, surf, horse ride on the beach, and have a boat kept at Shell Bay Marina.
The children have been brought up enjoying the sea air, boating around the Islands, visiting Brownsea Island and having mud fights!
Dorset never loses its charm and as soon as we approach the chain ferry we are filled with excitement and a sense of peace. There is nothing better than then sitting on the beach watching the sun set over Brownsea Island-bliss!.
Moira Lamond purchased this apartment in 2013
Why Moira Lamond chose Swanage
When our camper van finally came to its last days (and the emission zone was introduced in London) sadly it was crushed!
So we decided it was time to buy a place. Unbelievably this maisonette was for sale-unbelieveably because I have been walking past this house for 15 years saying "I'm going to live there one day" I still have to pinch myself that it's true.
Unfortunately the apartment was in a neglected state-So Brian being a builder & my hobby being interior design we set about restoring it. It has been a task but we are just about there. We never tire of this wonderful part of England and are amazed that we still find new areas to explore-It well deserves the title of area of outstanding natural beauty.When boating around the Islands in Poole Harbour, you really could be in Greece!
What makes this apartment unique
The maisonette is so conveniently placed to stroll into town, laze, play or enjoy water sports on the beach, or to walk to Ballard Downs and Durlston Country Park, with its castle, cafe and panoramic views. If you're lucky you may even spot a dolphin there!
Whatever time of the year, there is always something to do and see in Swanage and the surrounding area. The changing seasons emphasise the natural beauty of this area.
We love waking up in the morning to the sea view, and on a clear sunny day looking across to the Isle of Wight, followed by breakfast on the balcony.
We hope you love it as much as we do!
Moira and Brian

Wonderful!

Lovely relaxing family break
Had a great time. Nestleton is lovely and so handy for the town centre. Very dog friendly, welcoming and clean. Nice to sit on balcony with a morning cuppa or evening glass of wine.The weather was very kind to us and we enjoyed lovely walks, shopping, eating and drinking and the dog was welcomed everywhere which was a big bonus.
More than we expected!
We had a wonderful time at Nestleton and communication with Moira was fast and easy. Everything about the property was perfect and decorated as beautiful as the photos, if not more! Our lovely welcome gift was a nice touch and the accommodation was really a home from home, even the kitchen included absolutely all utilities a kitchen should have! We look forward to our next stay and cannot recommend Nestleton enough!
A stunningly presented property in an ideal location. Clean, attractive well equipped and cosy
The whole process from booking arriving and departing very straight forward . Owners responded quickly to any requests. The parking was easy and the location was superb.a slight hill but close to town station and beach. The views from the main bedroom are lovely. Stayed February and were blessed with blue sky days. The property was cosy and warm .
Beautiful property and well equipped
We had a lovely short weekend away on a very cold December weekend. The house was clean and very well set up for young children and in a great location. Beds very comfy too.
We had a wonderful day at Corfe Castle and Studland Bay and there were so many other places we could have visited time (and weather!) permitting.
Would definitely recommend.
Great location
Lovely spacious property with everything you need for a great home from home. Only point to note is access via metal staircase which can be problematic for more elderly dogs.
Beautiful Apartment with a view
Very stylish , comfortable apartment with amazing attention to detail in every room. The sea views from the top bedroom and balcony are an added bonus. We were lucky with the weather and enjoyed a sundowner on the balcony most evenings. Can't believe how convenient the apartment is to the lovely High Street , beach and train station . We took the steam train to Corfe Castle with our little dog and recommend it as a fab day out. The apartment was very well equipped
( thank you very much for the wine and cookies ) and very clean . All in all a perfect getaway location
