Cottage Three Lindens

It met expectations.

The cottage is nice, spacious, large in size, traditionally furnished in folk style with interesting accessories. It is located in the beautiful surroundings of Hrinovské Lazy, in a semi-secluded area with wonderful nature. I appreciate the 4 bedrooms, so rather for larger groups and multiple families. The large table in the living room is great. The kitchen is quite well equipped; we really liked the varied style of mugs and glasses. Lots of towels were also a plus. Unfortunately, the cottage also has negatives, especially regarding the furniture (a mix of pallet furniture, IKEA, folk furniture). We all agreed that the mattresses are very poor quality and dirty. Old, soft, with lumps, making sleep difficult. We couldn’t understand some of the bedroom furnishings – in one bedroom, there were two double beds and two single beds. Everywhere beds, but no storage space. In another bedroom, an old double bed that can’t fit a man over 180 cm, another room classified as triple had an old sofa bed that was uncomfortable. The bathrooms lack storage space (not even a small shelf) and a trash bin. The shower curtain sticks to your legs while showering, which is not a good solution. Not to mention that there’s nowhere to put soap, just on the floor. Heating is only by wood/stoves, so if the owners don’t heat the cottage beforehand (which happened to us), it is quite cold. The main stove that heats most of the cottage was started only the next day at noon after several calls (we were there in December and it was freezing). The oven for baking is located only in one bedroom (that bedroom is also the kitchen, one room not separated), which is not very pleasant when baking and then having to sleep there. Also, the oven was dirty, and when turned on, the whole bedroom filled with smoke. The kitchen was missing a trash bin. Lastly, the cottage creaks terribly; from above, you can hear even the smallest sounds, like mice or conversation. It’s a pity that when furnishing such places, the details and guest comfort aren’t considered, as guests come to a seemingly beautiful cottage in a great location but leave disappointed because significant little things weren’t finished.

Spacious common room where all of us could play not only board games but also have a mini disco 😊, excellent kitchen equipment, there were 16 of us plus a dog. \nEverything was prepared for the barbecue at the cottage. \nThe weather during All Souls’ Day blessed us; while there was fog and cold lower down, around Bratkovice it was a beautiful Indian summer, every day we took full-day trips into the surrounding nature.\nThe host was very accommodating and cooperative in everything.
