Julie, Gwyn, Morgan, Beau and Bud - November 2022Fabulous accommodation and lovely surroundings. Sue and Jonah greeted us with enthusiasm and were keen for us to make the most of our stay at Basel Cottage. We were shown around the cottage, of which they are very proud and rightly so! The cottage was comfortable and very clean. The surrounding garden / land was fabulous with amazing views and superb walks. Our elderly dog Faith was made most welcome. A super location for a truly relaxing break. Would highly recommend!

Marcel and Annick with Max and Boyce from Belgium, Nov 14Well! What a place! The cottage is beautiful, the views are charming, the woods have become Rafferty’s favourite place ever. Thank you for the fencing to make it possible! To have a glorious, peaceful place on a good easy accessible road is a real luxury. A lovely holiday, thank you Clare x
Clare, Mark and dogs, Bailey & Rafferty - September 2022Dear Sue & Jonah, We had an amazing week! We were lucky enough to have beautiful and sunny weather almost the entire week! The hiking tour of the two lakes – Llyn Y Fan Fach and Llyn Y Fan Fawr was our personal favourite, really exhausting but absolutely worth it! – The view is breath-taking! But best of all was coming home to a lovely cottage in the evening, which obviously had taken a lot of work! So much love has been put into it and it really felt like home – Thank you for that. Hopefully we will come back again!
Wolfgang, Ulrike & Marielle from Munich, Germany - August 2016Dear Sue and Jonah, Thank you very much for the lovely stay in your beautiful cottage. We all enjoyed it very much. What a special place!
Dirck, Tanja, Anne & Tijn from The Netherlands - July/August 2016‘A Wonderful Stay’ – Basel Cottage has been the perfect place to meet up with our son and his girlfriend after not seeing each other through lockdown. Sue, Jonah, Barney and Teddy have provided a most welcoming environment for us to catch-up on family time. We have walked, golfed and played table tennis at Basel Cottage and managed to have breakfast on the decking – weather permitting!! We have visited the Dams, the Coast, the Brecon Beacons – eaten out and at Basel Cottage and enjoyed both. Nothing has been too much trouble for Sue and Jonah and our dogs, PJ and Ned have had a ‘Wale(s)’ of a time!!! Thank you Barney and Teddy for keeping them entertained. Hope to be back one day. Thank you so much. x
