It is a beautiful area, very peaceful due to being next to a river. The place was really clean.

Yvonne, United States of America

Hottub. Lots of space in the house. Nice kitchen and beds. Supermarket, 2 restaurants and gasstation in walkingdistance.

Riet, Netherlands

The previous guests left us food in the refrigerator, opened milk and pasta sauce, thanks. Kitchen was not very clean. The shower leaked all over the bathroom floor and there was no floormat. The towels were approximately 30 years old and felt like 80 grit sandpaper. The "master bedroom" was like sleeping in a pine coffin. There were walls on three sides of the bed and a desk on the fourth! Be sure to stretch before trying to get in or out. The "sheets" felt like scrub brushes and the comforter covers were stained with blood! The kitchen was circa 1910 when electricity was invented. There were two burners, a toater and a coffee maker. Nice kitchen!

Gifford, United States of America

The manager was excellent. He upgraded us to a larger cottage, and brought us a modem for Wi-Fi.

Rebecca, United States of America

Cozy, comfortable place in a natural setting. Hrutey Island is within walking distance and is a nice place for hiking.

Charles, United States of America

We loved this location they were very generous host souna, generous breakfast etc

Bill, United States of America

Just beside the river which is very beautiful. Kitchen is equipped well.

Hui, Taiwan

Host was VERY helpful to our later arrival and the property was great and comfortable.

James, United States of America

I liked that we had our own space for relatively little money. The bed was very comfortable.

We had reserved two cottages, but ended up with a cottage and an apartment. This was a little unexpected, as they were in two different locations and we only had one car, but the apartment was definitely an upgrade with more space and a shower, so we couldn't complain. The cottages and apartment are within walking distance if necessary. The cottage was cute with a private bathroom (shower separate as described). Great value for the price!

Amber, United States of America

Great location!

It was information about jacuzzi, but we can't use it - in winter and in the spring and autumn period due to the ice does not turn on the jacuzzi. There should be information that the jacuzzi will not be available.

“Just okay”

- • Stayed 1 night

The shower room is minutes away from the cottage and you may need to drive there during winter as walking is kinda unbearable due to the cold weather. Reception was not manned at all times and may need to call and wait for them to arrive in case of any helps required or emergency.
A very basic cottage with fully equipped kitchen appliances. Toilet is inside the cottage (so you don’t have to drive outside just to pee (at least))

Utencils & bowls kind of not enough for 6 of us. The upper room has got no light ! The wifi is only accessible in the owner office which wasn’t good for us.
The cottage we stayed was like a big,comfortable home to us. Environment good & quiet - we had good sleep for the night.

Dave. He turned up at about 2.30 in the morning and set up his tent just behind the bushes that ring the cabin. He and his girl then continued to have a very loud conversation for about another hour. Annoying and disturbed my, up until then, very deep sleep.
A little home away from home. If I could have packed it in my suitcase, I would have taken this little cabin home with me. Great little kitchen area that was well supplied with all things that could be needed.
