Testimonials
We 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.
Leanne, Nigel, Hannah, Isabelle and dogs Rosie & Willow - November 2024Our 3rd stay at this amazing cottage – our 2nd time for New Year! We thoroughly enjoyed visiting many places in the local area. Sue and Jonah’s hospitality, help and advice made our stay very enjoyable. Hope to return again soon xxx

Julie, Gwyn, Morgan, Beau and Bud - November 2022We had the most wonderful week here at Basel Cottage. The cottage is pure luxury and the best equipped cottage we have ever been to. The views and walks were fantastic. Sue & Jonah are brilliant hosts and our Cream Tea on arrival was an added bonus. We hope to return in the future.
Michelle, Joan & Beau - 12 March 2016Basel Cottage is now firmly our No.1 ‘Go to’ cottage when we need to recharge our batteries! Despite awful weather Sue and Jonah create the most perfect spot to enjoy the peace and quiet. The antics at the bird table can keep you amused and entertained for hours! Thank You.
Ali, Dawn and Max - June 2016I have had a lovely first visit to Basel Cottage after hearing so much about it. Cara and I have loved exploring the woods – Cara especially!!! She is definitely going to miss the squirrels! – plus her favourite playmates Barney & Ted. We will definitely be back and I most definitely would like a cabin in the woods! Tanya & Cara.
Tanya & Cara - September/October 2020This is a really lovely cottage beautifully fitted out and in such a fantastic area. We had some thoroughly enjoyable walks with the dog – just wish the weather had been a bit better. A great place to stay.
Lachlan and Diana from WincantonAs returners we knew what to expect but were still blown away by the level of hospitality we received. Thanks for a great summer break xxx

Neil, Dawn, Meg and Mike & Connor, the Red Setter from Armitage, Staffordshire - Dec 2021 - Jan 2022Our second visit to this paradise. Spencer was pleased to see his friends Barney & Teddy and we were welcomed warmly by Jonah (2IC) as Sue was ‘absent without leave’ LOL! Everything was as good as the last visit, scenery, walks, cottage, even the weather was kind to us. We could not have had a better holiday. Thank you Sue, Jonah and the Basel Boys for letting us stay in this fabulous place – we will return again at some point. Thanks again xxx

Selwyn and Barbara from Cardiff; June 15Thank you Sue and Jonah for a wonderful ‘welcome home’ after 3 years and for the delicious Cream Tea on arrival. Had a great time in the woods with the dogs and roaming on Pembrey Beach ( the dogs not US!) Hope to see you again soon!

Jacky & Gary with Dogs, Ellie & Jasmine - Christmas 2021Can only repeat what previous guests have already said – a GEM of a cottage with the perfect hosts! Thank you!!!
Kate & Richard - April 2018Oh my, what can we say about Basel Cottage? It’s probably the first self catering place we’ve stayed that is absolutely spotless! Honestly, you have both thought of everything to make our stay perfect. The weather was fantastic, a little too hot at times and Ernie loved spending time with Teddy and Barney – A doggy paradise! Thank you Jonah and Sue for being such fantastic hosts – we will definitely be coming back!
John, Dawn, Emma and Ernie the Dog - July 2022We have taken cottage holidays for many years but have never found a place so perfect. We will be back!
Bob and Michele and Pickle the Schnauzer - Sep 2014This is our first visit and certainly will not be our last! Otto had an amazing holiday exploring the woods and chasing his ball. Pure bliss for him, no collar on for the length of his stay which was wonderful. Our few nights here were relaxing and comfortable. Sue and Jonah were the perfect hosts – THANK YOU for being you! Sadly, do not want to go but look forward to next time.
Vanessa, Andy & Otto the Dog from Shropshire - June 2022What more can we say about this lovely cottage! Perfect hosts, perfect cottage and what’s more PERFECT WEATHER all week! Looking forward to our 3rd visit at Christmas. Many thanks, Sue & Jonah.
