We all throughly enjoyed our stay, the boys had such fun playing hide and seek in the woods and we had lots of laughs down at the river with Rocky. A really special place run by special people. Thanks for a holiday to remember.
Michelle, Raymond, James, Conor & Rocky the Dog from County Down, Northern Ireland, July 2014After years of hearing how special this place is from Phil and Pascale, we were so excited to finally come and stay. It truly is a magical place! The morning bird song, the woodland wanders and the beautiful views are just perfect!
Jack, Harriet and Baby Elowen - March 2026Our 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 2021Oh my what a beautiful place, the views are stunning and very accessible. The Cottage is a Home from Home and has such lovely safe walks from the door. Spencer loved the Basel Boys and the walks. Sue and Jonah are such wonderful hosts with good knowledge of places to visit. It really has been a fabulous week and even the weather was good. We will certainly be back at some point. Thanks for letting us stay. X
Donna, Peter and Spencer the Dalmatian from Great Yarmouth, Norfolk - September 2022We had a wonderful time! Thank you so much for your warm welcome, your help when we had a flat tyre and all your efforts to make our stay a wonderful time. Sven and Elin really enjoyed being invited to walk with you and the dogs and play with them. We will come back next year (something we never do – go back to the same place) because our stay felt way too short and we felt so at home in the cottage and felt so welcome here! See you next year!
Joost, Samula, Sven & Elin from The Netherlands - August 2020Beautiful 5* cottage in a fabulous location. We had a wonderful week that went so quick. Lovely Cream Tea on arrival.

Ruth, Jonathan, Thomas and Tristram Cooke and Greyhounds Missy and Badger from Yorkshire and London - February 2022Thank you Sue, Jonah, Barney and Teddy for another relaxing holiday! The cottage and grounds are perfect, the dogs loved having the space to run free.

Carole, Geoff, Riley and Wilbur from Gloucestershire - June 2023Perfect cottage, perfect hosts, perfect view. Only thing wrong with this holiday is that is has to end!
