Testimonials
We 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.
Howard & Linda from East Sussex - June/July 2017What a beautiful cottage! Thank you for such a lovely welcome including the Cream Tea!
Dawn and Julian - July 2018Sue and Jonah, 2nd time for us in your lovely cottage. Weather’s not been that great but we had a relaxing week.

All the best, Diane, Clive and Patch x
Diane, Clive & Patch 🐕 from South Wales - June 2019We have really enjoyed our week at Basel Cottage. The welcome with scones and tea was much appreciated. Sue and Jonah have been great hosts, making sure we had everything we needed. The standard of accommodation is first class and very comfortable. Sheba certainly enjoyed her walks! Watching the wildlife from the lounge window-seat was brilliant and we have many photos! We have been quite lucky with the weather apart from the storm on Friday! We have had several cottage holidays but Basel Cottage has been the best by far – Thank you Sue and Jonah.
Keith, Linda & Sheba the German Shepherd - May 2016Stunning cottage in an amazing location. Thank you for the wonderful scones on arrival. Rebecca had never tried them before and she is now a big fan of them! We had a fantastic time visiting Hay on Wye and museums in Swansea after travelling on the Heart of Wales Railway. Also went on the lovely Gwili Steam Railway. Took in the wonderful scenery this area has to offer and recommend the roads around Lynne Briane Reservoir. Also recommend Pengawse Tea Rooms in Llandovery – lovely food and large portions. Thanks for a fantastic week, we will be back again!
Stuart, Julie & Rebecca from Wokingham - August 2019What a beautiful place, it is the best cottage we have stayed in by far. Alfie and Boe were so settled here and probably will be sad to go home!

Wendy, Allen, Bridget & Steve - April 2016‘A Wonderful Stay’ – Basel Cottage has been the perfect place to meet up with our son and his girlfriend after not seeing each other through lockdown. Sue, Jonah, Barney and Teddy have provided a most welcoming environment for us to catch-up on family time. We have walked, golfed and played table tennis at Basel Cottage and managed to have breakfast on the decking – weather permitting!! We have visited the Dams, the Coast, the Brecon Beacons – eaten out and at Basel Cottage and enjoyed both. Nothing has been too much trouble for Sue and Jonah and our dogs, PJ and Ned have had a ‘Wale(s)’ of a time!!! Thank you Barney and Teddy for keeping them entertained. Hope to be back one day. Thank you so much. x
