Testimonials
We have had a lovely Christmas at Basel Cottage. Lovely accommodation and the dogs have loved their walks in the woods. Thank you Sue and Jonah for your warm welcome and the teas and scones on arrival. The only thing you couldn’t provide was the weather!!
Jane, Steve, Ross and Will with Poppy and Max - Christmas 2015Thank you Sue and Jonah, a fabulous week! Lovely cottage, beautiful surroundings and a very warm welcome! ‘The girls’ have especially enjoyed the freedom of the fields and woods and their frequent visits ‘next door’ – Thank you!
Angie, Bill & Annie & Dora the Airedales from Northamptonshire - September 2016Another lovely week at Basel – I think this is our 7th time and it feels like a home from home! So good to see Sue, Jonah as always Barney and Ted. The Autumn colours are just stunning and the misty, moisty mornings ethereal – we miss the blaze of colours on the Lizard where we live! Thank you both for a really convivial evening in the Cabin in the Woods. A la prochaine ………
Angie, Alan & Tan the Dog from Cornwall - November 2021By far the best cottage we have stayed in!! Sue and Jonah welcomed us with such warmth and have continued to be great hosts and company throughout our stay. We cannot wait to come back again!! Willow has loved the field and woods as well as sitting in the window watching the birds. Thank you for a relaxing break. This is a very special, magical place.
Gemma, Ben and Willow 🐕 - Sept / Oct 2019What a beautiful cottage! Thank you for such a lovely welcome including the Cream Tea!
Dawn and Julian - July 2018Once again we had a really relaxing time. Great welcoming tea. Dogs remembered you and enjoyed the runs in the fields. See you both next year. Thanks.
Penny, Peter and dogs Millie and Phoebe from West Sussex - September / October 2017Thank 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 2020This is the second time at Basel Cottage. Once again, we have had a lovely relaxing holiday. You are both such lovely, helpful and friendly hosts.

Marlene, Keith, Llian, Logan & Dixie - May 2018Thank you Sue and Jonah for your warm welcome on our 3rd visit to this beautiful and spotless cottage.

Thank you for the Cream Tea too! Looking forward to our next visit xx
Margaret & Neil - April 2021We have been to Wales many times and as ever it is good for the soul! Walk around Usk Reservoir STUNNING and Crychan Forest (Blue Trail) tranquil. Returning home very relaxed and refreshed. Thanks!
The Coopers & Dogs from Devon - April 2016Dear Sue and Jonah, Thank you for a glorious week with such a wonderful opportunity to stop and rest at Basel Cottage. You have thought of everything we might need, plus so many additional little touches which were noticed. The Welcome Afternoon Tea and dog treats went down very well at the start and as the week went on we found ourselves slowing down more and more with little need to leave! We enjoyed just having family time, playing games and taking in the beautiful landscape and cabin in the woods. Thanks for all you have done to make it so lovely! We hope to be back sometime. Best wishes from us all xxxx

Once again, many thanks Sue and Jonah.
Jacky, Gary, Jake and Ellie - Christmas 2018What a fabulous place! We have had a lovely restful time. We particularly enjoyed the National Botanical Gardens and The RSPB Reserve – Magic! Sue, Jonah, Barney and Teddy could not have been more welcoming, thank you.
Jane, Gerard and Judy with dogs, Lola, Mimi and Rio - June 2021We have had an amazing week, thank you! The dogs have loved the “garden” and we have loved the tranquillity.
Nigel, Leanne, Hannah, Isabelle and Rosie and Willow the Springer SpanielsAnother 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 2021Perfect!
