Sue, Claire & Hollie the Golden Retriever, June 2014Dear Sue, Jonah, Teddy and Barney, I once again, had a wonderful time at Basel Cottage. I thoroughly enjoyed all the walks and playtime with the dogs as well as our lengthy conversations. The Hay on Wye recommendation was absolutely spot on and was indeed a great experience. Love Sven.
Sven from the Netherlands - July/August 2023Thank you Sue & Jonah for another wonderful week after our first visit in August last year. The Cottage and your land are just wonderful and the Cream Tea on arrival very welcoming. We have done plenty of walks in the local area and Llansteffan Beach and the Coastal Path is a real gem. The food in Pengawse Tea Rooms was as good as we remembered and the pasties from the Bakery also recommended. Thank you for making a holiday possible in these difficult times. We will return again!

We are already planning when we can return. Thank you x
Nigel, Leanne, Hannah, Isabelle and dogs, Rosie and Willow from Bognor Regis - November 2023Sue, Jonah, Ted & Barney, we have eventually got to stay at your amazing cottage.

Thanks for a super visit and we will hopefully see you again soon. Thank you.

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 !!).
