Testimonials
We leave Basel Cottage reluctantly. The kindness of our hosts will be a lasting memory as will the comfort and elegance of the cottage and the beauty of the surroundings. Thank you Sue, thank you Jonah, for providing all that makes for a very enjoyable holiday.
Anne, Catherine & William from Cardiff and Paris - August 2017A 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.
Jeremy and Fiona - July 2018Great welcome by Sue and Jonah. Cottage well worth its 5* status and the grounds were perfect for the dogs. Buzzards, woodpeckers and squirrels frequent visitors. Will definitely recommend to anyone wishing to visit this area of Wales

Ceri, Robert, Annemarie and Brenie 🐾 - November 2018Wow! What a wonderful place to stay. Views to die for, peaceful countryside, from sitting having a meal looking out at the view to walking in the garden and woodland. Perfect place for reactive/noise sensitive dogs. Cottage is so comfortable and fully equipped with all that you need for a great holiday stay. Sue and Jonah are wonderful hosts, they could not do enough for you and very helpful about where to go and what to see. The Cream Tea on arrival was a lovely surprise and most welcome after a long journey. Can’t wait to go again, we would highly recommend this cottage. Matt, Aga, and Ava.
