Testimonials
Another fantastic week even with the weather! Still the best cottage we have ever stayed in, everything supplied you ever need and more. Good to see your projects since our last stay, especially your Cabin in the Woods. Many thanks to you both and the ‘Basel Boys’. See you again next year. Jacky, Gary, Ellie & Jasmine x
Jacky & Gary with Dogs, Ellie & Jasmine - Christmas 2021From the moment Sue telephoned me at home before starting our holiday, I felt totally reassured by the current measures she had undertaken in the present climate to ensure that we had a relaxing holiday. We received a very warm welcome from Sue and Jonah on arrival at Basel Cottage – they are excellent hosts. This holiday home is a credit to all their hard work. Well appointed home with a fascinating history, set within glorious grounds. Enjoyed the walks straight from the door especially the woods. Wishing you both and your lovely dogs all the very best for the future.

Tony, Sally and dogs, Barley and Dolly - June 2024We have had a fantastic week in Basel Cottage. The setting is so relaxing! The boys and Ozzie have loved splashing in the river and playing in the woods. Thank you for making us all so welcome – you have ignited a golfing spark in the boys! Hope to be back in the future.
Keely, Neil, Sam, Thomas & Ozzie the Spaniel - August 2021Another fantastic visit to Basel Cottage. It has been wonderful to be able to spend a few relaxing days exploring and trying out the new additions. Although the weather didn’t encourage us to sit at the firepit, the cabin in the woods made for a fab retreat. Thank you Sue & Jonah for making us feel welcome as ever. The cwtch with Barney & Teddy did the trick!
Ali & Dawn from Ruthin, North Wales - November 2021Thank you Sue and Jonah. A very special place!

Elin from the Netherlands - August 2022We were expecting something wonderful and got so much more! Sue and Jonah – You are fantastic hosts! Barney and Teddy – You are both so cute! The cottage and land is incredible, we loved absolutely everything. From relaxing and playing with the dogs in the evening to watching the woodpecker in the morning, we just did not want this holiday to end! We cannot wait to visit again, Love Emma, Dave, Ethan, Max & Ozzy xxx
Emma, Dave, Ethan and Dogs, Max & Ozzy from Cheadle, Stockport - July 2021This is a really lovely cottage beautifully fitted out and in such a fantastic area. We had some thoroughly enjoyable walks with the dog – just wish the weather had been a bit better. A great place to stay.

Selwyn and Barbara from Cardiff; June 15A wonderfully clean and well appointed cottage. We enjoyed sitting out and exploring the area so much. Like many others, we will definitely be returning.
Ruth and David - June 2023A 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 2019Fabulous accommodation and lovely surroundings. Sue and Jonah greeted us with enthusiasm and were keen for us to make the most of our stay at Basel Cottage. We were shown around the cottage, of which they are very proud and rightly so! The cottage was comfortable and very clean. The surrounding garden / land was fabulous with amazing views and superb walks. Our elderly dog Faith was made most welcome. A super location for a truly relaxing break. Would highly recommend!
Sue, Glyn & Faith - September 2018Dear Jonah and Sue, Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. We’ve felt so welcome and at home here, in your beautiful cottage surrounded by the beautiful Welsh Hills. You and the dogs have gone above and beyond to make our stay as wonderful as possible. Jonah – Thank you so much for the archery and shooting lessons, your patience, calm and humour in teaching us. Sue – Thank you for all the wonderful, helpful suggestions for outings, dinner places!! We have loved seeing you again. Thank you for the laughs and chats. Much love, Joost & Samula. P.S. We might come back a 3rd time in the future!
Joost, Samula, Sven & Elin from The Netherlands - August 2022Coming 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 2022Many thanks Sue and Jonah for a lovely week in your wonderful cottage. The Cream Tea on arrival was most welcome. Charley really enjoyed her day with Jonah and we do not think she wanted to come back to us!
Janet and Stephen, Charley (Labrador) & Barney (Retriever) from Devon - September 2017Lovely cottage in a spectacular setting. The owners have invested passion and precision into its renovation.
Edwards Party - September 2021Oh my, what can we say about Basel Cottage? It’s probably the first self catering place we’ve stayed that is absolutely spotless! Honestly, you have both thought of everything to make our stay perfect. The weather was fantastic, a little too hot at times and Ernie loved spending time with Teddy and Barney – A doggy paradise! Thank you Jonah and Sue for being such fantastic hosts – we will definitely be coming back!
John, Dawn, Emma and Ernie the Dog - July 2022
