Angela and Steve are amazing. Great location. Rooms lovely with sky TV. We was greated with a bottle of rosé wine with a lovely note attached. This was a great start to our trip to Sofia. I parked my car for five days and was advised to use associated taxi. This firm is half the price of the airport taxi service and punctual. Myself and my wife would highly recommend a stay.
Clean, welcoming, fresh and lovely accommodation. Hosts Angela and Steve are so kind, considerate and generous. I loved my stay in Pheasant en suite room! The farmlands offer refreshing walks and Tesco is not far away. All so convenient. Highly recommendable.
Gorgeous cottage in the countryside. I called very last minute, when my hotel fell through and I arrived 20 mins later to a lovely toasty room, super clean and comfortable with nice en suite shower. The owners, Steve and Angela, went above and beyond to make sure I was happy and comfortable, even offering to take me to the shops when they thought I'd had no dinner! A really lovely stay, and truly wonderful owners who care about their customers.
Our hosts, Steve and Angela, were very accommodating. The bed was very comfortable. There was a small kitchenette with kettle, teas and table ware, a microwave and fridge too which is useful for longer stays.
Nice clean comfortable place to stay, especially if you need the airport. Although out in the countryside, lovely location, you are a very short drive to the airport. The planes however did not impede on the stay. I dont remember hearing them. We were visiting for a wedding the next day, and it satisfied our purpose. Very friendly host. Would recommend.
Wow, what an absolutely beautiful place. Gorgeous peaceful location! We absolutely loved our stay. The owner was so helpful and so welcoming and the accommodation was stunning. We stayed in the Duck room and it was so modern inside. The decor was beautiful, the bed was comfortable, they’d even left little single use toiletries and toothbrushes. It was honestly a perfect stay. Would definitely go back! Thank you!
steve and angela lovely people and a perfect stay in a beautiful house. thanks for all, Ben

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
