Nellie Williams from Berkshire - October 2021Great lazy stay, enjoyed being snowed in for 2 days! Max and Boyce did not mind that the walks were shorter this time. Thanks again for the warm welcome and all the support. Already looking forward to our next stay. Diolch yn Fawr!
Marcel, Annick, Max🐕& Boyce🐕 from Belgium - December 2017What a beautiful cottage! Thank you for such a lovely welcome including the Cream Tea!
Dawn and Julian - July 2018Basel 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 2016Absolutely fantastic place to stay, stunning cottage and grounds, super-friendly owners, amazing views and great facilities.
Mic, Ally & Woody - July 2025Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Basel Cottage. The cottage is extremely clean, well equipped and there are many leaflets, books and ideas for trips out and walks. Our dogs loved the enclosed field, stream and woods and we loved the rustic benches / picnic tables around the property – especially the seats on the decking. Sue & Jonah were brilliant, friendly and knowledgeable hosts, always on hand for advice, help and ideas. Thank you for a lovely week!
Denise, Bev, Summer, Solly & Maisy - April 2016Beacons – Wow! Cottage – Wow!!
Ann and Martin - June 2018Well, here we are again – I’ve lost count now of how many times we’ve come to this lovely place! We love everything about it – Sue and Jonah make Basel Cottage a home from home. The scenery is wonderful in all seasons. Our old dog Tan, absolutely adored coming here – he, Barney and Ted played themselves senseless – now Flynn is learning, not that ‘the boys’ don’t have some reservations!!! THANK YOU BOTH.
Angie, Alan and Flynn (11 month old Collie) from Cury, on the Lizard, Cornwall - October / November 2022We had a remarkable week here at Basel Cottage. Very warm and friendly people, thanks Sue and Jonah
Chris, Hilde & Children from Belgium, July/August 2014Thank 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

Joost, Samula, Sven & Elin from The Netherlands - August 2022We had a fantastic week in this beautiful cottage.

Hope to be back next year.
Jacky, Gary & Jake and Ellie (Black Labs) from York - Christmas 2016Thank you for a wonderful relaxing week. Everything has been thought about in this cottage. The cottage is homely and beautiful. NESSA 🐕 and the girls enjoyed playing in the garden and the woods. We will be back!
Paul, Chris, Megan, Isobel & Nessa from Southampton - September 2017Excellent stay. Sue and Jonah provided a delicious Cream Tea on arrival! Very welcoming and helpful but not intrusive. Walked miles! Llyn y Fan Fach and parts of the Brecon Way. It is worth visiting the National Trust Gold Mines. Ate at The Castle Hotel which was very friendly. Good to avoid the crowds so will definitely be back! Many Thanks.
Allen and Jill - August 2019Basel 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 2023Fabulous cottage with the most wonderful setting – views in every direction. Loved the paddock field and the little wood with its wooden cabin. Thoroughly enjoyed the Welcome Cream Tea. Sue and Jonah are wonderful, thoughtful hosts and we felt privileged to be able to stay in this wonderful cottage. Brynn and Ocea really enjoyed their holiday too, running and playing with Barney, Teddy and Simba. We feel completely rested and we were lucky with the weather.
Lindy, Stan, Lynne, Damian and Border Collies, Brynn and Ocea - May 2024A wonderful cottage in an amazing setting. The dogs love the gardens and forest and their own private river!! Taking two very tired dogs home but hopefully be back soon!
