Basel Cottage is our converted stone holiday cottage based just outside the tranquil location of the small Market Town of Llandovery in the County of Carmarthenshire in Wales. The Cottage is situated in the stunning Cambrian Mountains and on the edge of The Brecon Beacons National Park – Bannau Brycheiniog.

Boasting spectacular views, award-winning Basel Cottage is the perfect rural retreat for small families, groups and couples and sleeps 4 + 1. We happily accept up to 2 dogs and they are very welcome to stay free of charge. Additional dogs may be considered by prior arrangement.

Facilities
Graded 5* Star with Visit Wales, our Holiday Cottage is set in 17 acres of glorious Welsh Countryside with a Private Woodland, Enclosed Garden and with access to the River Bran all of which attract a wide range of wildlife.

A choice of two stunning terraces to relax are available for your private use.  The Decked Terrace has a spectacular view over the valley and river and offers outside seating to enjoy some alfresco dining.   The Stone and Slate Terrace with Firepit is a fantastic addition so why not spend an evening Star Gazing and enjoying our fabulous Dark Skies?

Because of its unique location, Basel Cottage is perfect if you are looking for a peaceful and quiet setting with country walks straight from the door.  The unspoilt Crychan Forest which offers walking, cycling and horse riding trails is also only a short distance away.

On site, Beginners Archery Lessons and Target Air Rifle Shooting are on offer and these can be booked in advance or during your stay.  Instruction is facilitated by Jonah, one of the owners, who is fully insured and a qualified Archery GB Instructor and British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC) Air Rifle Instructor.

Dog Friendly Cottage
A fabulous inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove provides a wonderful cosy and homely ambience – A favourite with our four-legged friends after a long walk!

The wonderful view of the valley opposite from the window seat is a popular choice to relax and unwind.  Our dog guests enjoy it too because they can do a spot of bird-watching!  So if your dog wants the ‘best seat in the house’ let us know and we can provide you with extra throws.  We can also offer the use of feeding and water bowls if required.

Basel Cottage is surprisingly spacious and it will comfortably accommodate up to 4 guests.  Up to 2 dogs are welcomed free of charge.  Additional dogs may be accepted but this will be by prior arrangement only.  Additionally, we do politely ask that guests please refrain from allowing their dogs upstairs in the cottage.
