Beccy, Craig and Henry the Lurcher ( 14 years young!) - March 2016What a wonderful cottage and fabulous hosts. Despite wet weather and a heavy cold, we have had a lovely week and intend to return. A much needed break in the peace and quiet. Thank you.
Colin and Erika from Tiverton, Devon - October 2021We have had a very relaxing week with lots of birds to watch. Cottage is so comfortable and nice cream tea as a welcome. See you next year.
Penny, Peter with Millie and Phoebe - Oct 15Thank you so much for a fantastic week. You are fantastic hosts, Sam enjoyed the garden and terrace. We will return next year!
Ana Maria, Ingo & Sam the Dog from Belgium, June 2014Thank 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
Paul, Birgitt, Carmen, Scott & Murphy the Cockapoo - April 2017Dear Sue and Jonah, Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful home.

Wendy, Philip and Sammy, the Poodle Cross - May 2024We have really enjoyed our week at Basel Cottage. The welcome with scones and tea was much appreciated. Sue and Jonah have been great hosts, making sure we had everything we needed. The standard of accommodation is first class and very comfortable. Sheba certainly enjoyed her walks! Watching the wildlife from the lounge window-seat was brilliant and we have many photos! We have been quite lucky with the weather apart from the storm on Friday! We have had several cottage holidays but Basel Cottage has been the best by far – Thank you Sue and Jonah.
Keith, Linda & Sheba the German Shepherd - May 2016We had a lovely holiday in your beautiful cottage. The walks to Llyn y Fan Fach and the Usk Reservoir were super with so few other visitors. Lexi did her best to stop the squirrels eating all the bird food! Thank you Sue and Jonah.
Steve, Sheelagh & Lexi the Cockerpoo from Buckinghamshire - June 2019We had the most wonderful week here at Basel Cottage.

We hope to return in the future.

Bob and Bally. April 2015We came back AGAIN! 7th time in 10 years and we still found new things to do/visit, alongside our usual 2 walks in the ‘garden’. The fields and woods have obviously had so much time spent on them since we first came, each year we notice changes – amazing! Our ‘dog holiday’ once again surpassed our expectations, thank you Sue, Jonah, Barney and Teddy! See you again next year.
