About the cottage
My husband inherited a cottage where extended family gathered for over forty years. It is strategically located halfway between Prague and Brno and meets the 5K criteria for which our ancestors once chose it: Tranquility, its Charm, Swimming, Beautiful Scenery, Nearby Church... Our family of six spends most of our free days here (especially school holidays) often in the company of friendly families. The cottage, standing under an ash tree, offers a great deal of privacy, although it is located in the heart of the picturesque village of Zderaz in the Pardubice Region on the northern edge of the Highlands. With its almost three hundred years of history, it is a place that has its own spirit, charm and flies. We will be happy to share everything with you. It would help us with the cost of running it (and future improvements) and you can relax, invite friends over, or work online/offline overlooking the extensive woodland.

More info
The cottage is as described, don't expect any luxury, it's really partly in a good way like an "open-air museum". The history of the cottage corresponds to this. The rooms upstairs are new. Really lots of rooms and space to sleep, if you are planning to come in large numbers and are not spoiled by hotels, this is the place. The kitchen facilities are sufficient, everything one needs. What impressed us the most was the ETA hand beater that our grandmothers owned :) a lovely memory of our childhood. Who would not be able or would not want to cook on the stove even because of the preparation of chips, there is an induction double cooker. We didn't even need heating in the upper rooms, the stove in the kitchen was enough, if left open the heat went beautifully into the upper rooms. The smaller garden with fire pit is perfect for campfires and barbecues. There are plenty of toys and art supplies in the cottage, even a nice supply of children's books. There are plenty of places to hike, walk, bike or drive to in the area. Our crew consisted of 4 adults and a smaller dog and we were happy with our stay.
The cottage where time stood still.
Beautiful cottage with a wonderful atmosphere. We really liked it, we would be happy to recommend it and would love to come back again ✨️💛
Nice cottage, great walks.There is a lot to explore around.We were in winter and totally fine.
The cottage is beautiful, we were surprised by the equipped kitchen, even though we brought our own tea, coffee, oil is good that in this direction the owners think of you. In beautiful surroundings, we love the Highlands and wandering around the area is great. We would like to thank the gentleman who heated our bedroom on the day of our arrival, otherwise we would probably freeze to death:)))) But what I evaluate negatively is the mischief of more accommodation on different platforms lately and here we were also unpleasantly surprised. Bed linen - as such, I will bring, someone has a car, the rest takes a sleeping bag - I do not know how to clean the beds, better not think..but the cleaning. We travel all over the world and the properties we stay in I will of course clean when I leave but I really don't expect that if I have cleaning in the advert, I will be surprised to see a list on the fridge as if I am a cleaning service. Plus, it logically follows that visitors always clean, so I prefer to scrub the bathroom myself on arrival and then again on departure. It would be worth thinking about or at least posting here in the ad what you require from customers. We would have changed our minds and found something else, I'm not going to spend 2 hours on holiday cleaning. Unfortunately, this has left us with a very bitter memory of this beautiful cottage. Price/performance ratio for us no..
