Dear Sue, Jonah, Teddy and Barney, I once again, had a wonderful time at Basel Cottage. I thoroughly enjoyed all the walks and playtime with the dogs as well as our lengthy conversations. The Hay on Wye recommendation was absolutely spot on and was indeed a great experience. Love Sven.
Sven from the Netherlands - July/August 2023This 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.
