Thank you so much for such a great stay. Loved it and will return x.
Nellie Williams from Berkshire - October 2021Wow, what a truly amazing time we had. Just back from a three night break (not long enough!!). Prior booking communications were excellent and informative. On arrival we were met by the lovely owners, Sue and Jonah and their gorgeous dogs, Barney and Teddy. Views are incredible, as are the 17 acres which our three Labs really enjoyed including a stream, bluebell wood, all secure and very well maintained. You can really be at peace that your dogs are safe and have so much freedom! The cottage was beautiful, everything you could possibly need, very clean, comfortable and spacious; Sue and Jonah really have thought of everything to make this a real home from home we certainly wished this was our home !!). Privacy was well respected and Sue and Jonah were on hand to have a chat with us and share invaluable information about the surrounding areas. Being very protective dog owners we had no… Read more

Christine, Peter, Amy and Benny the Collie, Hampshire - August, 2015Really nice cottage, our hosts could not have been more welcoming, and we had fantastic weather; what’s not to like?!
Adam, Lezlie, Jonathan & Adrian, July 2014Basel Cottage is a lovely property, both inside and out. It’s well decorated and has everything you’ll need. The owners are lovely, leaving you in doubt that you can contact them if you need anything, but otherwise just leaving you to your own devices. They’re also genuinely dog-friendly and the grounds are great for keeping your dog amused. I would heartily recommend Basel Cottage!
Haydn, Rebecca & Caesar from Leicestershire - March 2017Had a relaxing week in an ideal cottage. Charming hosts. Enjoyed the chats. Best cottage we have stayed at in 40 years of cottage holidays. Many thanks both.
Selwyn and Barbara from Cardiff; June 15Thank you very much for your friendly and warm welcome – not to mention the little touch with the slate ‘Welcoming Sign’ and the delicious Cream Tea. You can tell how much thought and love and of course hard work that goes into running this beautiful cottage! There is so much space inside and outside and the views and tranquility of the setting is second to none. It was absolutely perfect for us and Murphy enjoyed playing and exploring outside. To bring the motorbike and the car certainly paid off and the roads around here are great ‘biker roads’. There is still so much to do and see! Thanks again from all of us xxx

Betty and Ian from Newbury.We have had a fantastic holiday, Sue & Jonah have been wonderful hosts. We cannot praise them enough! Our boys have loved playing with your two, every time they went outside they were looking to see if Barney & Teddy were coming out to play! We have enjoyed visiting lots of beautiful places despite the extremely narrow roads and hope to return one day.
