FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I book a cottage?
You can book right here on the website using our secure booking system. You can also book us on Airbnb and booking.com, or by contacting us directly — but the best price is always here on the website.
What are the check-in and check-out times?
Check-in from 15.00 to 20.00. Check-out from 8.00 to 11.00. For other times please contact us in advance. You can also check out later and enjoy a slow morning until 13.30 — you can choose this option when booking.
Are the sauna and hot tub included in the price?
A private sauna session costs €60 and the private hot tub costs €80. You can request them when booking or by email.
What are the sauna and hot tub time slots?
The sauna and hot tub need 2–3 hours to heat up — please let us know in good time. There are two time slots: from 17.00 to 20.30 and from 20.30 to 00.00. They can also be booked for the whole evening.
Can we bring pets?
Pets are welcome by prior arrangement and can stay in the Kārta or Laima cottages. Please mark it in your booking as "A holiday for your pet" — there is a small extra fee. If you have any questions, do get in touch.
Is there WiFi?
Yes, all cottages have stable free WiFi. The speed is sufficient for streaming and remote work. Each cottage has connection instructions with a QR code you can scan with your device.
Is there a kitchen?
Each cottage has a fully equipped kitchen with a fridge, stove and cookware. Herbal tea gathered nearby is always available too.
What about events and celebrations?
The cottages are meant for quiet rest. Loud music and noise are not the right fit here — we and our neighbours appreciate the silence.
Is any cottage suitable for wheelchair users?
Yes. Kārta is a single-storey cottage with widened doorways and an adapted bathroom. Please contact us if you have specific needs.
What is the cancellation policy?
You can cancel free of charge if more than 14 days remain until your arrival date. A later cancellation means 50% of the booking amount is retained. For details see the cancellation policy.
What payment methods are accepted?
Bank transfer or card payment through the booking system. Cash is accepted only in exceptional cases and only for additional services, such as a late check-out.
Are cots available for small children?
Cots are not currently available. Children sharing adult beds or sleeping on the sofa bed are welcome at no extra charge.
Where are the cottages?
The cottages are about 2 km from the centre of Talsi. There is a Waze icon in the website footer — tapping it on your phone opens the Waze app with the destination already set. The footer also has a Google map.
Is there a barbecue?
Each cottage has a terrace with a barbecue. You do need to bring your own fuel. If you need skewers or grill grates, just write to us.
Is there parking?
Yes — instructions on where to park are sent by email before your arrival.
