Testimonials
Thank you so much for the wonderful stay at Basel Cottage – I can say for sure we will be coming back. Ruby loved the cottage, meeting Barney and Teddy and the wonderful walks – Your place is paradise for dogs!
Gabriela, Matthew & Ruby the Chocolate Cockapoo from London - February 2024Dear Sue & Jonah, We had an amazing week! We were lucky enough to have beautiful and sunny weather almost the entire week! The hiking tour of the two lakes – Llyn Y Fan Fach and Llyn Y Fan Fawr was our personal favourite, really exhausting but absolutely worth it! – The view is breath-taking! But best of all was coming home to a lovely cottage in the evening, which obviously had taken a lot of work! So much love has been put into it and it really felt like home – Thank you for that. Hopefully we will come back again!
Wolfgang, Ulrike & Marielle from Munich, Germany - August 2016This is our 11th visit to this wonderful place! The weather has been very kind and we have been sitting out most days. We have had a few days out but we really enjoy being ‘home’ and going swimming and doing Aqua Fun in the local Leisure Centre – Jonah, is inspirational as a coach!!! Reggie’s first visit this year and he LOVED IT! Thank you for a lovely BBQ and hopefully we will see you next year without the crutch!!! xxx
Marlene, Keith, Llian, Logan and Reggie from Peterborough - August 2025Our third stay and the fourth booked for next year! We cannot even begin to tell you how much we love being here – it’s just absolutely wonderful. The BEST chill pill ever! Sue and Jonah and the beauty boys thank you xxx.
Pascale, Phil, Sally, Kira and naughty Peanut! from Powys - March 2023Dear Sue, Jonah, Barney & Teddy, Thank you so much for having us! We had such a wonderful time over the past few days.

Kate & Richard - April 2018Thank you once again Sue & Jonah for a lovely week. This was our 5th visit and we never tire of coming here. It is so laid back and peaceful, great to unwind. See you in May 2022 hopefully!!!
Marlene, Keith, Llian, Logan & Dixie - July/August 2021Excellent stay. Sue and Jonah provided a delicious Cream Tea on arrival! Very welcoming and helpful but not intrusive. Walked miles! Llyn y Fan Fach and parts of the Brecon Way. It is worth visiting the National Trust Gold Mines. Ate at The Castle Hotel which was very friendly. Good to avoid the crowds so will definitely be back! Many Thanks.
Allen and Jill - August 2019“Fantastic Cottage – Lovely helpful owners – beautiful location . A home from home”
Alan, Angie and Tan 🐾🐾 - Feb / March 2019Dear Sue and Jonah, Thank you for a glorious week with such a wonderful opportunity to stop and rest at Basel Cottage. You have thought of everything we might need, plus so many additional little touches which were noticed. The Welcome Afternoon Tea and dog treats went down very well at the start and as the week went on we found ourselves slowing down more and more with little need to leave! We enjoyed just having family time, playing games and taking in the beautiful landscape and cabin in the woods. Thanks for all you have done to make it so lovely! We hope to be back sometime. Best wishes from us all xxxx
Jenny, Ray, Benjamin, Lilianna & Martha the Labrador - July 2024Fantastic hosts, wonderful place! Our second stay at Basel Cottage where we have had a very relaxing four days. Weather was good for time of year, sunshine, showers, snow & frost – we will be back!
Martin, Donna, Rhea-May & Ruben the Cockerpoo - November 2015Thank you Sue and Jonah for a wonderful ‘welcome home’ after 3 years and for the delicious Cream Tea on arrival. Had a great time in the woods with the dogs and roaming on Pembrey Beach ( the dogs not US!) Hope to see you again soon!
Peter, Anne, Bronte and Milo from Herefordshire - October 2017We had a lovely holiday in your beautiful cottage. The walks to Llyn y Fan Fach and the Usk Reservoir were super with so few other visitors. Lexi did her best to stop the squirrels eating all the bird food! Thank you Sue and Jonah.
Steve, Sheelagh & Lexi the Cockerpoo from Buckinghamshire - June 2019This is our 3rd year staying at Basel Cottage and each year is more wonderful than the last. Our welcome from Sue, Jonah, Teddy and Barney was like we had ‘come home’. So many great recommendations for places to visit and eat. Noal and Kevin thoroughly enjoyed their shooting lesson and opportunity to ride on the ATV. Sully has enjoyed roaming the beautiful woods and fields and we will all miss the splendid scenery. Thank you yet again for facilitating a wonderful break. Love the Tideswells.
Kevin, Judith, Noal and Sully - August / September 2023Jonah & Sue thank you so much for such wonderful hospitality. Your warm and friendly approach is very much appreciated. Your cottage is wonderful, it brought tears to my eyes when Sue had shown us around. Beautiful décor, fabulous grounds and excellent owners – we will be back xxx
Liz, Paul, Jack, Harry and Lilly - August 2021We have had an amazing week, thank you! The dogs have loved the “garden” and we have loved the tranquillity.
