Testimonials
Dear 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 the second time at Basel Cottage. Once again, we have had a lovely relaxing holiday. You are both such lovely, helpful and friendly hosts. This year we met Barney for the first time – He is adorable! Thank you for the lovely scones on arrival. Thank you once again xxx
Marlene, Keith, Llian, Logan & Dixie - May 2018Coming here is a little like coming home. This was our second stay here and it was even better than we remembered. The local shops are run by friendly and courteous people, the weather was perfect, even when raining and Jonah and Sue helped make this a very happy holiday. We can thoroughly recommend the archery and shooting Jonah offers! The cottage is clean, warm, comfortable and well equipt and we cannot wait for our next stay here! Thank you very much!
Ruth, Jonathan, Thomas, Tristram and Dogs, Missy and Badger from Ilkley, West Riding - October 2022We have had a wonderful week in your perfect cottage. Thank you for a warm welcome and lovely cream tea when we arrived. After our days out and about it was a real pleasure to come “home” and relax in the garden.
Peter, Anne with Bronte and MiloA beautiful find for a last minute booking. Enjoyed the National Botanic Gardens of Wales and the British Birds of Prey Centre on the way here. Agree with other guests that the RSPB Walk is well worth doing. Stunning views all around Llyn y Fan Fach and Llyn y Fan Fawr. Both Dinefwr Castle and Carreg Cennen Castle are well worth doing.

Katie, Jason, Joshua, Oliver and Molly - New Year Stay Dec 2022 - Jan 2023Dear 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 2023We have really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful cottage. We received a very warm welcome and a delicious Cream Tea. Our favourite walks were Four Waterfalls near Ystradfellte and the RSPB Reserve and Lake Brianne Dam. Can also recommend the train to Knighton to walk parts of Offa’s Dyke, where there is a very good Visitor Centre. We loved the local shops in Llandovery, superb choice of good food! Highly recommend No. 14 Coffee Shop for “to die-for” chocolate Brownies! Thank you Jonah and Sue for everything and all the best for the future.
