A really lovely stay. Wonderful location. Sue looked after us very well.
Rosie and Ken from SomersetThe most relaxing half-term break. We loved the cottage and walking in the grounds. Llyn y Fan Fach and watching the birds from the Window Seat were particular highlights!
Jen, Ben, Lizzie, Mary & Katie from West Sussex - February 2019Our third stay and the fourth booked for next year! We cannot even begin to tell you how much we love being here – it’s just absolutely wonderful. The BEST chill pill ever! Sue and Jonah and the beauty boys thank you xxx.
Pascale, Phil, Sally, Kira and naughty Peanut! from Powys - March 2023Thank you Sue and Jonah, we have had another great stay at your cottage. It’s a perfect place to stay and we hope to return again next year. Brenie had a fantastic time running in the surrounding fields.
Rob, Ceri and Brenie from Wales, Nov 14Dear Sue, Jonah, Barney & Teddy, this is a holiday I’m going to remember for a long time. This is the first time that I’m not fine with leaving and wish that I could have stayed for another week. I’m going to miss the cottage, the cabin, the massive garden, you, Sue and Jonah and most of all the dogs. Sven.
Sven from The Netherlands - August 2022Wow! 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.
Matt, Aga and Ava - July/August 2024Basel Cottage is now firmly our No.1 ‘Go to’ cottage when we need to recharge our batteries! Despite awful weather Sue and Jonah create the most perfect spot to enjoy the peace and quiet. The antics at the bird table can keep you amused and entertained for hours! Thank You.
Ali, Dawn and Max - June 2016This 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.
Lachlan and Diana from WincantonPerfect cottage, perfect hosts, perfect view. Only thing wrong with this holiday is that is has to end! Our second visit – can’t wait for our third. We love coming to see Sue and Jonah as much as the cottage, no wonder they have so many return visits, they’re doing everything right.
Michele, Bob and Pickle, Shropshire. September 15.Had such laughs here in your lovely cottage. Wonderful area, scenery just amazing and the dogs had a wonderful time.
Val, Margaret and Buzz from OxfordshireWe 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!
