Steve, Sheelagh & Lexi the Cockerpoo from Buckinghamshire - June 2019Dear Sue and Jonah, Thank you for a glorious week with such a wonderful opportunity to stop and rest at Basel Cottage. You have thought of everything we might need, plus so many additional little touches which were noticed. The Welcome Afternoon Tea and dog treats went down very well at the start and as the week went on we found ourselves slowing down more and more with little need to leave! We enjoyed just having family time, playing games and taking in the beautiful landscape and cabin in the woods. Thanks for all you have done to make it so lovely! We hope to be back sometime. Best wishes from us all xxxx
