Testimonials
We have had a great week and intend to return. Hope to go the National Botanic Garden of Wales again on another ‘Doggy Day’ in the Spring.
Jim and Sally and Finn the Whippet from Somerset - July 2017Lovely to return here to this beautiful location and so comfortable cottage. Thank you for all your kindness.
Betty and Ian from Newbury: Sally and Gareth from Cardiff and John and Angela Visiting from Llandeilo - Sept 14Basel Cottage is a lovely property, both inside and out. It’s well decorated and has everything you’ll need. The owners are lovely, leaving you in doubt that you can contact them if you need anything, but otherwise just leaving you to your own devices. They’re also genuinely dog-friendly and the grounds are great for keeping your dog amused. I would heartily recommend Basel Cottage!

Pip and Luke - Pip and the City - Travel Writer - March 2020What an absolute privilege to come and stay at Basel Cottage. Never has a ‘Dog Friendly’ cottage even come close to this!! Sue and Jonah are the perfect hosts and we are so very sad that our week is over!! The cottage is stunning, the views amazing. We loved some evening golf, had a games tournament and wandered to the Cabin in the Woods for sunrise. The map in the kitchen gave our route planners inspiration and we have walked almost 35 miles. Thank you.
