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.

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.

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.

Response from VrboOwner on 30 May 2022
Ahh Elliot, thank you so much for such a lovely review, I really appreciate it, and so glad you liked the house. I shall get on to getting some more tea spoons, they seem to vanish to the tea spoon planet every now and then! Just reaffirming that the mattress in the master bedroom is a genuine, firm Tempur mattress. It has different layers of foam making it very comfy. We have has to slice a bit of the side as it is French vintage bed, which is not quite the same size as a standard King! Thanks again for taking the time to write such a lovely review and hope to welcome you back soon.

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..

Served its purpose well. Easy to walk to town or harbour. Parking close by difficult at times with quite long uphill walks to car.
