Testimonials
A wonderful week in a perfect cottage. Sue and Jonah are wonderful hosts – helpful but not intrusive! We walked Pen Y Fan and Llyn Y Fan Fach – great to explore an area of Wales we don’t know well. The gardens and woods, hills and river are great for children and dogs; especially beautiful with the bluebells in bloom! We would love to come back one day.
Humphreys Family and Bertie 🐕 - April 2019Dear Sue, Jonah, Teddy and Barney, thank you so much for everything. I really felt at home here. I am going to miss you, the dogs, the cottage and everything here very very much. I hope I will see you again. Love Elin.
Elin from the Netherlands - August 2022Once again, a perfect week spent at Basel Cottage. We have managed to dodge the rain, viewed the sites, had the best Welsh Rarebit and enjoyed the cottage of our lovely hosts – who are simply the best! Love to you all, Yolie, Penny and Clair xxx
Yolie, Penny & Clair - from the USA and Bognor Regis, UK - September 2024Excellent 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.
