Lovely well placed apartment, which is a 10 minute walk from Durlston Country Park. Really enjoyed our stay which was helped by the amazing late September sunshine. Lots of amazing walks from the flat to Old Harry's Rock, Studland Beaches, Swanage Beach, etc etc. Comfy bed, large lounge, adequately equipped kitchen, (if you like to cook on your holRead mores) and a great location to head out on foot or in the car. Could do with a few more home comforts to make the flat a bit more cosy, especially in the Autumnal months. Would come back for sure! Thank you for sharing your place with us, Swanage, Corfe Castle and Lulworth Cove were just perfect. Hide

The flat is a great size for two people and the kitchen well-equipped. It is really close to the town. Parking , we had to park quite a way from Nestleton and the hill is very steep.

Nestleton is a lovely property. It has lots of character and is well-equipped for a short stay. The outside space was appreciated during the heatwave. It's very handy for local amenities.It's a short 2 minute walk from the High Street and beach and less than 10 mins to the train and bus stop. The walk up to the property might be a little steep foRead morer some, but thankfully, it is near the bottom of the hill. Would stay here again. Hide

Spacious flat in good location, clean. Not the cosiest, hard floors only and lacking any feeling of homeliness. Nice bay window at the front, but be aware all other windows face out onto walls, so not a bright property. Free on-street parking and only a 5 min walk into town. Its a ground floor flat and there is a flat upstairs. Expect tRead moreo be able to hear the upstairs neighbours if its occupied. Hide
