Testimonials
Our 6th visit! We cannot believe the amount of effort that Sue and Jonah have put in since our last visit 2 years ago – we thought the cottage and surrounding area was great before but the efforts that have gone in have made Basel Cottage even more special. We have all loved our week, thank you so much. We will book again soon!
Nigel, Leanne, Hannah, Isabelle and Dogs Rosie & Willow - October 2021Thank you for a fantastic stay in your beautiful cottage. It has been so relaxing and comfortable. Henry has rejuvenated at least 5 years! A wonderful holiday!
Beccy, Craig and Henry the Lurcher ( 14 years young!) - March 2016We came back AGAIN! 7th time in 10 years and we still found new things to do/visit, alongside our usual 2 walks in the ‘garden’. The fields and woods have obviously had so much time spent on them since we first came, each year we notice changes – amazing! Our ‘dog holiday’ once again surpassed our expectations, thank you Sue, Jonah, Barney and Teddy! See you again next year.
Leanne, Nigel, Hannah, Isabelle and dogs Rosie & Willow - November 2024We 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 2017Basel Cottage has blown me away. The cottage itself was equipped as a home from home, spotlessly clean with so many thoughtful touches from Sue and Jonah. Everywhere you look / go, you see the attention to detail – You have created something unique and fabulous. Ziggy has LOVED stomping around the woodland and we love it too! Thank you so much. P.S. Teddy and Barney are also fab ambassadors.
Gemma, Mark and Ziggy - September 2023Another lovely stay – time gone too fast! Many thanks Sue and Jonah for letting us come to your beautiful cottage, the dogs have loved it. Thank you and see you next year.

Robert, Gaynor and Dixie and Rosie from N Yorkshire; Jul 2015Basel Cottage has exceeded all our expectations! We have enjoyed a beautiful few days here. The safe fields and wood are fantastic for our two young dogs to roam and run to their hearts content.

We look forward to visiting again, maybe in the Spring to see the bluebells! Thank you for sharing your little bit of paradise XXX.
Liz, Duncan, Bryn 🐾🐾 and Seamus 🐾🐾 from Birmingham - October 2019Another 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 2021Not many words needed, just a brilliant stay – 4th time! Asked the dogs Max & Boyce what they thought of it – wagged their tails and started to bark, full of excitement!!!! – Guess they agreed! Diolch yn fawr to Sue & Jonah.
Marcel, Annick, Max & Boyce - June 2016It was our second time here in Basel Cottage! All we can say is: In more than 10 years of holidays all over Great Britain, this definitely is the best cottage we have ever stayed in! The location is fantastic, so peaceful, so quiet! Thank you Sue & Jonah for everything – we will miss Wales and Basel Cottage! You are fantastic hosts! We do hope that we can come back again one day!!
Walter & Monika, from Vienna, Austria - April /May 2016This is a wonderful home from home – everything that you need for a relaxing break. Sue and Jonah are perfect hosts and the Cream Tea on arrival was a lovely welcome surprise. The grounds are lovely for dog walking and Kukki does not want to go home! We explored the area and went to the National Botanic Garden of Wales – Monday’s being Doggy Day! There are so many places to visit and we loved sitting on the decking in the sunshine with a glass of wine! We hope to come back soon xxx
Shelley, Neil, Pauline, Ian & Kukki the Spaniel - Apr/May 2017Thank you for a lovely week, well done with the weather!!! The cottage was wonderful and the views from the window seat were stunning. See you again!!!
Denise, Mitch & Lolly the dog and Norman and Frances - April 2016A 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 fabulous relaxing week, helped along by the beautiful sunshine. Gary had great fun metal detecting and he found a Roman Coin, George III 1/2 Penny, Victorian Penny and many artefacts spanning approximately 300 years! Ghost our Husky has left his ‘glitter’ in the woods for the birds to enjoy! A beautiful cottage, lovely and homely.
Lisa & Gary Smith and Dogs Ghost and Doris - March 2022We have enjoyed a lovely week here. Perfect accommodation, we could have quite happily stayed another week. Wonderful hosts, nothing was too much trouble.
Sara, Dave, Gracie and Jack and Max - Oct 15.What a wonderful holiday and beautiful cottage! A heartfelt thank you to Sue and Jonah (not forgetting Barney & Teddy) for being such phenomenal hosts. You were always on hand for advice regarding walks and nothing was too much trouble. Monty has absolutely loved running free in your fields, exploring your woods and playing in the stream, especially with his new buddies, Barney and Teddy. He does not want to leave and neither do we. Loved it all! Thank you so much xx
June, Michael & Angela Knepper and Monty the Dog - May 2022Thank you so much for a lovely week, the cottage and surroundings were just what we needed. You are the perfect hosts. I think, in particular, Nessa & Deano will be sad to leave! Look forward to seeing you again.
Chris, Megan, Isobel and Dogs, Nessa & Deano - July 2021Thank you Sue & Jonah for another wonderful week after our first visit in August last year. The Cottage and your land are just wonderful and the Cream Tea on arrival very welcoming. We have done plenty of walks in the local area and Llansteffan Beach and the Coastal Path is a real gem. The food in Pengawse Tea Rooms was as good as we remembered and the pasties from the Bakery also recommended. Thank you for making a holiday possible in these difficult times. We will return again!
Stuart, Julie & Rebecca - August / September 2020
