    There's nothing I didn't like, it was perfect in every way.

    Everything from the view to the luxury comforts, it's literally a little piece of heaven. The hanging chairs and exceptional views were a firm favourite. Cannot recommend staying here highly enough. We had the most magical stay.

    The only minor issue was the gravel road that takes you to the cabin but honestly when you get to the cabin you forget about everything else.

    The view was ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING. My kids loved the games that was available in the cabin and couldn't get enough of the adorable donkeys. I highly recommend this little piece of heaven as a vacation.

    We enjoyed our staying at the Wild Edge Last Light Cottage very much. Inside and outside the house was amazing and character, tasteful decorating, furniture especially fantastic cage chair at outside patio (beautiful sitting sightsee the forest and sunset) - everything met our needs. Alison was so friendly and warm host to us. Luke & Jackie from Bury, England

    The view... again the view! amazing...amazing view. The serenity of the place will definitely calm you down. Your TV is the nature/the view..away from busy life. If you need to Disconnect a bit...this is the place for you.It's giving " slow leaving" . There are games that you can play as family and books to read. We also loved the pool with a view not to mention the beautiful sunset. Yes, there's that gravel uphill and downhill road you need to drive but definitely worth it. The host sooo friendly and welcoming. The Cabin/cottage soo clean and beautifully decorated.

    Luckily, we have a 4x4, but perhaps the owner should state that you would not be able to easily access the location without a 4x4, especially if it is raining.

    It was absolutely blissful. We enjoyed every second of our stay. It was so incredibly peaceful. Super clean and super comfy. It created a romantic atmosphere with absolute peace. We felt at home, and even though it is self-catering, it really was a bonus to have them making sure the basics were there for all the stuff we forgot about bringing.

    There was nothing that we specifically disliked.

    It has a beautiful sweeping view of the forrest and mountains. The house is really well equipped and has more than one dining area. Lots of areas to leisure. The couple who own the place are really friendly and went out of their way to help us.

    Gorgeous scenery, lovely cottage with lots of comfortable places to sit/lounge. Beds were so comfy too. So much attention to detail. Stunning views, peace and quiet and a very friendly host. We plan to go back and enjoy for even longer next time.

    Beautiful cottage with such a special view. The hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful. The cottage itself is tastefully decorated - almost straight out of a magazine! We appreciated the attention to detail, from the fans in the room to the extra pairs of reading glasses left on the bookshelf. The area itself is sustainable, eco-friendly, and offers nature walks as well as a cute interaction with the resident donkeys. I would highly recommend Last Light as a holiday spot and will definitely be returning.

    it was hard to get to, 15 minutes on a winding dirt road. it could use a deep clean under the beds and in corners. it would have been nice to have little more storage in the bedroom.

    the views were amazing. the decor was nice. the little things like cards and candles were a treat.
