Guests say
Upper Nestleton Maisonette in Swanage is praised for its spaciousness, Victorian charm, and prime location close to the town and seafront. Guests appreciate the well-equipped facilities, including a smart TV and coffee machine, and the comfort of clean linen and mattresses. The maisonette's character and welcome goodies add to the positive experience, though limited outdoor space and on-street parking are noted.
The property is generally well-received for cleanliness, with clean linen and towels mentioned. However, one review noted the kitchen could have been cleaner, suggesting a slight deduction from a perfect score.
The location is highly regarded for its proximity to the town centre, beach, and local walks. The convenience of the location is a recurring compliment, despite being on a hill.
The maisonette is described as comfortable, with special mentions of the comfortable mattresses. The property provides a relaxing environment, although no specific mention of heating or air conditioning is made.
Facilities are well-received with a smart TV, washing machine, and coffee machine available. The presence of two toilets is a bonus. Some minor maintenance issues are implied with the term 'shabby chic'.
While guests appreciated the welcome box of goodies, as gifts are not consistently mentioned across reviews, it is not possible to accurately score thoughtfulness. It should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and not guaranteed.

Miss Rodgers-Kent
Lovely maisonette in Swanage that was well suited to us. Location was very good - very short walk to the centre/beach front. The kitchen needed a bit more attention to cleaning - but nothing that couldn’t be easily fixed! The linen and towels were all clean and mattresses very comfortable! Additional bonus of having two toilets. Well equipped with a smart TV, washing machine (with dryer included in machine) and drying racks for clothes. The place has a coffee machine as well as a kettle, so we were all happy in the morning. The double bedroom on the top floor has a sea view from the left side of the window, and you can also see the sea when stood on the balcony outside. There are quite a few steps to climb if your bedroom is on the top floor, but wasn’t a problem for us. Parking is on-street parking so limited to if there is a space or not. We parked in a nearby car park and payed £50 to park there for the week (seemed easier to us than to hope for a space on the road each day). Overall, we had a great stay, and would definitely choose this accommodation if we came to Swanage again!!

Very convenient location albeit partway up a steep hill. A characterful property with a nice welcome box of goodies. Outside space is very limited but that wasn't a problem as the Downs and the seafront are nearby.
