Llandovery Sheep Festival is taking place over the weekend of 27 and 28 September.  Many activities will take place in the town with fun for the whole family.  Basel Cottage currently has availability over this period and can offer shorter stays if required.  Please contact us for further details. Please click here to visit the Sheep Festival Website.      

Basel Cottage is located only a few miles from Llanwrtyd Wells where the annual Alternative Games takes place.  Whilst the Games are not taking place in 2015, we have  availability within Basel Cottage during August 2015 during which time the World Bog-Snorkelling Championships (29th August 2015) will be run. Take a look at the programme (for 2014) contained within the attached link: The 2nd World Alternative Games (Click to view) Llanwrtyd Wells is only a 10 minute drive from Basel Cottage or alternatively you can take the train from Llandovery on the Heart of Wales Line (Click the + above to view the hyperlinks). The Heart of Wales Railway.

Despite the poor weather we have been graced with several days of sunshine and the snowdrops are now appearing. Cheeky as ever the local Robins appear unafraid!        

We were lucky enough to be invited to the PRIME Cymru Celebration of Mentoring Day held at Tredegar House in Newport attended by His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales. We were able to showcase the Cottage and Prince Charles had been made aware of Basel Cottage starting up and was kind enough to mention us as a flourishing business during his speech. Sue spoke to speak to HRH who wished us continuing success.  

Bikers are welcome. Take the opportunity to ride some of the best roads Wales has to offer! Basel Cottage offers easy access to some excellent motorcycling roads in Wales. Close proximity to several recognised “biker friendly cafes”.  Secure parking available by prior appointment.
