The whole trip was wonderfull, we arrived at the house and it was lovely and warm, we were greated by a lady who was English and took us through the house and explained where everything was i.e extra towels and sheets etc. There is a great supermaket for tourists in Samokov which is called Billa and it is on the way to Borovets only 10 minutes from the house.
The Views from the house were amazing and the village was cute, It had a traditional restaurant which was very reasonable only about £10 per person for food and wine! Everyone in the village was very friendly, the lady in the village shop where we bought our bread each day couldnot speak a word of English but was very welcoming each day, they also sold lots of other food and drink.
We were recomended Snowmasters in Borovets for Ski lessons and rental and we found them very reasonable and very attentive. They are located just by the main gondala in Borovets.
The holiday was great we had so much snow it was amazing our kids played in the garden each day and build a great an iglo and a giant snowman. We had one small problem as it was so cold the pipes froze one night in just one of the bathrooms (they had 3 so it wasnot an issue) but it was dealt with the following day and never happened again.
We would recomend eating in Samokov there are lots of different types of food as the food is a lot cheaper than at the resort of Borovets
Overall a fantastic time in bulgaria and we plan to go back to the house soon.
