    The Last Straw is close to Nelson, within 15minutes, but when you are there, it could be 1000 miles away, Quiet, relaxing, fantastic cottage, just a beautiful place to relax and recharge.

    Incredibly charming home. This would be the perfect spot to enjoy an elegant county house and get away from everything.
