The cottage and its’ history are amazing. The grounds are stunning and you have been amazing hosts. Hopefully Jaspers training works and next time, he will be able to play with your boys. Thanks for the lessons, maybe we will have our own air rifle next time? Already looking forward to our next visit.

Ceri, Rob, Annemarie & Brenie - November 2016Thank you for an amazing holiday! The cottage is perfect and spotlessly clean. Garden/Grounds are fab, we all had a great time exploring and I don’t think Lola wants to leave. The boys had Archery and Target Air Rifle Shooting with Jonah – this was top notch! – Fabulous tuition, relaxed and not rushed – he was a very patient tutor with my excited boys. Not often we find somewhere we would like to return but we will be back. Thanks Sue, Jonah, Barney and Teddy x
The Marshalls, Paul, Hayley, Ben, Jay & Lola the Dog from Scotland - July 2022Thank you very much for your friendly and warm welcome – not to mention the little touch with the slate ‘Welcoming Sign’ and the delicious Cream Tea. You can tell how much thought and love and of course hard work that goes into running this beautiful cottage! There is so much space inside and outside and the views and tranquility of the setting is second to none. It was absolutely perfect for us and Murphy enjoyed playing and exploring outside. To bring the motorbike and the car certainly paid off and the roads around here are great ‘biker roads’. There is still so much to do and see! Thanks again from all of us xxx
Paul, Birgitt, Carmen, Scott & Murphy the Cockapoo - April 2017We just wanted to say ‘Thank You’ for making our holiday so wonderful. It was one of the best UK holidays we have had and we cannot wait to come again. Laura, Gary and Wookie.

Jane, Gerard and Judy with dogs, Lola, Mimi and Rio - June 2021We have been to Wales many times and as ever it is good for the soul! Walk around Usk Reservoir STUNNING and Crychan Forest (Blue Trail) tranquil. Returning home very relaxed and refreshed. Thanks!
The Coopers & Dogs from Devon - April 2016Had such laughs here in your lovely cottage. Wonderful area, scenery just amazing and the dogs had a wonderful time.
Val, Margaret and Buzz from OxfordshireFrom the moment Sue telephoned me at home before starting our holiday, I felt totally reassured by the current measures she had undertaken in the present climate to ensure that we had a relaxing holiday. We received a very warm welcome from Sue and Jonah on arrival at Basel Cottage – they are excellent hosts. This holiday home is a credit to all their hard work. Well appointed home with a fascinating history, set within glorious grounds. Enjoyed the walks straight from the door especially the woods. Wishing you both and your lovely dogs all the very best for the future.
