Here we are again! We love this place, Sue and Jonah. Thank you so much for making it a ‘Home from Home’. Despite the weather, we have walked miles – exploring Sarn Helen this time as well as old favourites. Thank you Barney and Ted for putting up with an over exuberant Flynn (on the naughty step for his predilection for digging)! Thank you Sue and Jonah and see you in October.

Stunning views, with plenty of additional activities to enjoy, an amazing safe place to call home for the duration of our stay.

Abbie and Jon from Derby - July 2019From the moment Sue telephoned me at home before starting our holiday, I felt totally reassured by the current measures she had undertaken in the present climate to ensure that we had a relaxing holiday. We received a very warm welcome from Sue and Jonah on arrival at Basel Cottage – they are excellent hosts. This holiday home is a credit to all their hard work. Well appointed home with a fascinating history, set within glorious grounds. Enjoyed the walks straight from the door especially the woods. Wishing you both and your lovely dogs all the very best for the future.
