Pluses The accommodation was very nice and clean. What we appreciate the most is the attitude of the owners - they were extremely nice, helpful and willing to help with anything we needed. Thanks to their attitude we felt at home. We would love to come back here again and definitely recommend it to others!
Pluses Beautiful place, beautiful view, very nicely furnished accommodation, great facilities in the form of a swimming pool, pond and a barrel for swimming, perfectly furnished for children, excellent outdoor and indoor seating. Very nice and helpful owners. I have nothing to complain about in this regard. Minuses I would slightly criticize the daily morning and evening appearance of the owners in the building to take care of the farm and garden.
Pluses Great homely atmosphere and beautifully maintained garden. The children were thrilled with the small farm that is part of the property. Overall, lots of space for children, there is a large pond for swimming. There is plenty of space in the house to relax. The owners are very nice people. There is nothing we could fault.
Pluses Beautiful place, you live literally in the middle of nature and the view. Great for children, both swimming and other activities, especially the animals. We watched them every day. The owners were great, we didn't miss anything. I recommend it for people who want peace and quiet, as well as for families with children.
Pluses Absolutely satisfied with everything. The owner is a very pleasant lady who showed me around the cottage, the equipment of the cottage - especially the kitchen was absolutely fine and there was enough of everything.
The location is great for taking a trip around the area.
Absolutely satisfied and I will highly recommend this accommodation.
Thank you very much :) Minuses There is nothing I would be dissatisfied with.

We have more than 30 years of experience in renting cottages and other recreational houses! Our specialization is in renting cottages and recreational houses across the entire Czech Republic, with a minority of houses also located in Slovakia. In 1990, we started as a Dutch company that offered accommodation in the Czech Republic for clients mainly from the Benelux, Germany and Great Britain. Over the years, the transformation from a Dutch company to a Czech one took place, when we successfully developed into a medium-sized organization offering a high-quality product of several hundred cottages and holiday houses with websites in four language versions. In addition to Czech clients, we also have clients from Germany, Holland and other European countries.
