Beer cheap, wine lovely!Food is not as bad as I expected , even fussy husband has managed to find something..Eating out is so cheap that it doesnt matter anyway!
i would definately come again, thanks to everone who has posted info on borovets its been very useful so dont stop!(we are reading it even if we dont reply!) Dont hesitate if you are a little concerned but come with an open mind!

Glad you are having such a good time.

It seems so long ago, but it was only a few days since I was there.

If you're going for a massage at the Samokov, book for Milka - she's the best. Bobby is also very good, but Milka is a physio by day and does the massages to supplement her income so you get a fantastic massage. That's what kept me going through the week.
