What a fab week we’ve had. The cottage is beautiful, very comfortable and the dogs LOVED the garden. Our first holiday to Wales and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed it – we will be back.
Sue, Tom and Conni and Lily the "Goldies" from West Sussex; Jun 15We had a wonderful week staying at your beautiful cottage. From the moment we arrived until the day we left you made us so welcome – a holiday we will never forget. Thank you.
Bill, Mary and Inca 🐕 from Essex - June / July 2019What a beautiful place, it is the best cottage we have stayed in by far. Alfie and Boe were so settled here and probably will be sad to go home! Thank you Sue and Jonah, you are both wonderful hosts. Hope to see you again soon! Thank you Barney and Teddy for making it so memorable for Alfie and Boe.
Caroline, Darren and dogs Alfie and Boe from South Wales - June 2021Beautiful cottage and location. Everything was here for an amazing holiday. Table Tennis was an added bonus!!! We loved it here! Thank you both.
Henry, Pam, Juli, Steve & Dottie the Dog - June 2021Well, 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 2022This is our 6th visit to Basel Cottage and each time it seems to get better and better! The weather has been wonderful. We only ventured out once to Zip Wire World, Aberdare – everybody loved it! We had a nice meal at The King’s Head in Llandovery. We spent most of our time on site with Archery, Golf, Table Tennis, Darts and Billiards. Looking forward to returning in July. x
Marlene, Keith, Llian & Logan McClelland from Lincoln - May / June 2022Thank you Sue and Jonah for a wonderful ‘welcome home’ after 3 years and for the delicious Cream Tea on arrival.

Jacky, Gary & Jake and Ellie (Black Labs) from York - Christmas 2016We have had a fantastic holiday, Sue & Jonah have been wonderful hosts. We cannot praise them enough!

Nigel, Leanne, Hannah, Isabelle and dogs, Rosie & Willow from West Sussex - October 2017Where do we start? We have had an amzing break and returning home relaxed. This has been the best cottage we have ever stayed in by far and we cannot wait to return. You have a special place here and if you ever want someone to move in we’ll be here! You are both so lovely and welcoming and you have thought of everything to make Basel Cottage so beautiful. We have loved the bird feeders. The dogs do not want to go home just like their owners. x

Royston, Dawn, Alison and Max the Staffordshire TerrierAnother 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!

Paul, Margot, Anne and Buddy and Rudie - Aug 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.
