Frequently Asked Questions
How do I travel to Bulgaria?
As we are located in central Bulgaria we recommend you fly to Sofia. EasyJet fly Manchester to Sofia 3 times a week on Tuesdays Thursdays and Saturdays. Wizz air fly from Luton to Sofia daily as do British Airways from Heathrow. Wizz air have also started flights from Doncaster to Bucharest which is much cheaper and only an extra half hour transfer time and you get to cross the amazing Danube river that splits Bulgaria & Romania.The B&B is approx 2.5 hours from Sofia.
Are you near the Coast ??
We are 3 hours from the Varna. You can do a day trip to the coast.
Do you do airport pickups ?

Can you recommend a car rental company ?
Top Rent a Car rent small cars to minibuses direct from the airport or you can hire direct from Hillside at 30 lev a day or a 7 seater for 40 lev per day.
What is the weather like in Bulgaria?
We like to describe Bulgaria as very diverse with something for everyone to enjoy from ski resorts located in the beautiful Pirin, Rila and Rodopi Mountains , to the Black Sea Riviera in summer where temperatures match those of your ideal mediterranean summer's day from the months of May through to October. Perfect for the whole family to enjoy all year round.
Winters are sharp and we get lovely snowy winters which are so much fun as we are only 45 minutes from a small ski resort called Uzana. Unlike the UK snow does not affect the running of the roads or businesses.
