My husband inherited a cottage where extended family had 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.

Handy info:
- 4 guest bedrooms (sleeps 9)
- bathroom with toilet (water heated by gas instantaneous heater, washing machine available)
- living room with stove (dishwasher, fridge, freezer, oven, induction double hob, dishes, sink with cold water...)
- wifi
- garden, outdoor seating area, fireplace, barbecue, cooking pot on the fire, sandpit and playhouse for children
Take your own bed linen and slippers to the cottage. Clean up on departure.

In the surroundings: natural swimming pool at the hotel Renospond, quarry, forests, many possibilities for trips on foot and by bike or cross-country skiing: rock dwellings, Toulovec's stables, rock formations in the forest, lookout towers, Nové Hrady castle, Rychmburk castle, eco-centre Pasíčka, geopark Železné hory, ruins of Košumberk, within reach of the town: Proseč, Skuteč, Litomyšl, Polička, Svitavy, Hlinsko, Vysoké Mýto, Chrudim, Pardubice.

Info for the heating season: in the room there is a wood stove, the heat is pleasant and radiant and the sounds of crackling wood make an unrepeatable atmosphere (you can also cook on the stove). There are gas wafers in three rooms, electric heating in the smallest and oldest room and a direct heating in the bathroom. The corridors and the attic are not heated, from the bedroom to the bathroom/toilet you walk through the cold like in the old days.

On arrival you will be entered in the registration book and pay a cash fee of 20kč per day, which we will remit to the village of Zderaz.

26.2 - 28.2.2025 Tomáš říká:

13.2 - 15.2.2025 Šárka říká:
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..

Owner's reaction "Děkujeme za pochvalu a za konstruktivní zpětnou vazbu. Jsme rádi, že se vám chalupa líbila a že jste ocenili vybavení kuchyně i krásu okolní přírody. Velmi nás mrzí, že vám závěrečný úklid a pokyny k němu zkazily dojem z dovolené. Chalupa je prostorná a uvědomujeme si, že dát vše do pořádku jako při příjezdu zabere dost času. Chalupa pravidelně prochází větším úklidem z naší strany, včetně praní všech textilií. Co se týče ložního prádla, nejsme v současné chvíli schopni zajistit ložní prádlo pro všechny turnusy, nicméně máme ve skříňce nachystáno náhradní, kdyby někdo zapomněl, nebo potřeboval nečekanou výměnu.

Naše opatření:

• informace na lednici jsme revidovali a jsou zde k nahlédnutí
• zároveň je možné využít placené služby závěrečného úklidu

Děkujeme za podněty a vážíme si vašeho názoru."

I couldn't attend due to illness, but at least my friends came. The owner allowed to change the number of people in the reservation only for them. Thank you, excellent communication. I hope that next time I will also arrive:-)
