    Zora & Terry,

    What a wonderful place you have! We are so glad we booked for 3 nights. It made the cold weather bearable because we could return to a warm & cozy "home" with fireplace, cookies, hot drinks & all the rest. The Chambery Suite was super. And the breakfasts were wonderful! Beyond our capabilities, that’s for sure. Keep all those special touches that you have now & you will be successful. Thanks for your hospitality. When I think of Prague, I will think of Zora and of course, Chambery.

    All the best.

You are wonderful hosts and you have created a delightful getaway for all those who desire an absolutely memorable stay in a B&B home filled with "Old World" charm.

    Dear Zora & Terry ,

    You two could write a book about how to create the prefect B&B because you have certainly done just that! Dave and I are so impressed with your talent & hospitality and we shall never forged our 2 days & nights in total comfort, splendor! It sure beats any hotel I have stayed in (including 4 star) for beauty & just feeling like an honored guest! Thank you for all you did to ensure our stay was so lovely! This has been a particularly special part of our honeymoon.

    Words can’t describe what my husband & I experienced here at Chambery Cottage. Thank you so much for making my husbands birthday treat so special. We will be back again very soon. Our anniversary is in November & I’ve already put a but in my husband's ear. Our room was wonderful, accommodations were great and breakfast was suburb! Laved the music, candles etc. Everything was perfect. We wish you much success in your already excellent adventure.
