ネスレトン;バルコニーでの朝食またはファイヤードッグの周りで寄り添う

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 30 years. As keen camper vaners we have spent many weeks travelling around the Purbeck area enjoying its amazing natural beauty. Our Dorset adventures include becoming British Sub-Aqua qualified scuba divers starting in Swanage diving school, water skiing, surfing, horse riding on the beach, and a boat kept at Shell Bay Marina.
Our children were 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 then nothing better than sitting on the beach watching the sun set over Brownsea Island-bliss!.

When our camper van finally came to its last days, sadly it was crushed!
We therefore decided it was time to enact that dream of buying a place in Swanage. Unbelievably this maisonette was for sale-unbelievably because I had been walking past Nestleton 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 very neglected state-So Brian being a builder & my hobby being interior design we set about restoring it. It has been a task but we got there, although there are always more dreams of improvements! 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 on a sunny day in Poole Harbour, you really could be in Greece!

Locally nicknamed the 'Dolls House' due to its unique, pretty architecture and balcony, Nestleton is often photographed by passersby, especially when the clematis is in glorious full pastel pink bloom.

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!
