Homely property with stunning sea views. Brilliant location, close to the pier and very short walk to sandy beach and shops and restaurants. Brilliant!
We spent a lovely few days at Chestnuts. It's a quiet spot with fabulous views and the flat is comfortable and spotless. Only one thing to note is that the stairs up to the first floor are quite steep.
We highly recommend the flat to anyone for a quiet break in lovely Swanage

About the host
Hosted by Graeme Allen
We have owned Chestnuts for about 8 years and it has been a rental during this time. We love the area and my parents have lived in swanage for a number of years.
Why they chose this property
Near to the Sea, close to National Trust, Studland bay, Swanage railway etc etc numerous walks, Jurassic coast and so much to do in the area.
What makes this property unique
The property is full of character being a Grade 2 listed building overlooking Swanage bay with uninterrupted views (apart from a row of Chesnut trees on the Downs!). A great place to watch the world go by especially from the front shared patio area. Just a 3 minute walk down the hill to the beach and town centre.
