Country Holidays

Self-catering cottages

Separate houses, frequently beside a lake, a river or the sea, for the sole use of the guests. Vacation cottages normally contain bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a washroom, but there could be also exceptions, where there is no living room or the toilet facilities are in the courtyard. If the home does not contain bathing facilities, the sauna is available.

The price is either the charge per person per night (pers.) or the rent for the entire cottage per day (night) or per week (week). The use of bed linen, blankets, towels, kitchenware, and tableware is included in the price.  The guests are responsible for cleaning the premises during their stay. Please leave the premises as tidy and clean as you would expect them to be upon your arrival. For LVL 20.00 extra, the host will clean the cottage after your departure.
