Guest Reviews
- Marie (10/5): - L’appartement était confortable et équipé de tout ce dont nous avions besoin. La cuisine était équipée de café, thé, sel, poivre, etc. Une petite attention qui contribue au confort et au côté pratique du logement : dans la salle de bain, du shampooing, des brosses à dents de rechange, des rasoirs jetables, des sparadraps, etc étaient mis à disposition. Peu de supermarché ou restaurant dans les environs. Ça ne nous a pas vraiment dérangé mais il faut le savoir et venir équipé.
- тодор (10/5): - Тихо и спокойно място- апартамент в който е помислено за всеки детайл. Петър ни посрещна радушно. На масата ни чакаше комплимент- вино и сладкиш. Домашният ни любимец бе приветстван с топли чувства. Препоръчваме това място и неговият домакин!
- Robin (9/5): Simple but complete for very comfortable self-catering - Cactus House is situated well away from busy roads in a very quiet and peaceful village location. The host is a delightful man who enjoys sitting and talking about anything and everything - with a little encouragement he will even grab his guitar and treat you some of his songs. The accommodation is simple but very comfortable and includes all you need for self-catering. There was a welcome pack waiting for me on the dining table - a packet of savoury biscuits and a full bottle of delicious home-made wine Nothing
- Piotr (10/5): - Wszystko co potrzebne było na miejscu. Środki czystości czyste ręczniki i pościel, suszarka itp.Degustacja wina właściciela 😊 kuchnia w pełni wyposażona. Polecam Problem ze znalezieniem lokalizacji.
- Ashkan (10/5): -
- Huiyuan (10/5): - An absolutely wonderful experience! The host was incredibly witty and warm, sharing his stories and wine with us. It felt like visiting a friend's home.
- Julia (10/5): - Много уютно и тихо място, с всички удобства и много любезен и отзивчив домакин! Прекрасно място за релакс след тежък работен ден. Със сигурност ще гостуваме отново.
- Riicky Odissey (10/5): Very good stay - Spacious apartment
Good conditions
Very friendly host
- Мишка Michael (10/5): Рекомендую для тихого отдыха - Тихое спокойное место.Номер оборудован всем необходимым!Хозяин Питер помогает по всем вопросам. .
- Evran (10/5): Peaceful - Cactus House combines luxury with a countryside vibe. It has a garden in a tranquil village and everything you need for a good stay. It was an absolute pleasure to meet Peter, who has a colorful personality. -
- Silvia (10/5): Sauberes, modernes Apartment - Das Apartment war perfekt ausgestattet, alles was man braucht war vorhanden. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden das Apartment jederzeit weiterempfehlen.
Vielen Dank an den freundlichen Gastgeber Peter, auch dafür, dass wir unseren Minibus ein paar Wochen sicher an seinem Anwesen parken konnten, während wir mit den Motorrädern weiterreisten.
- Jurgita (10/5): -
- Timo Schönwald (10/5): - Sehr netter und gastfreundlicher Besitzer Peter.
Entspannte Wohnung mit gemeinsamen Garten.
- Alvaro (9/5): - Lo mejor es el trato de Peter, muy atento y detallista.
La casa está muy completa. Lo único que puedo decir negativo es que (especialmente en verano) la habitación no tiene aire acondicionado, y cuando estuve había ola de calor y era incómodo dormir porque hacía muchísimo calor.
- Amelia (10/5): Relaxing stay and great host - We had a fantastic stay at Cactus House. Peter, our host was so helpful with great communication at all times. The house was really well kitted out with everything you might need for a relaxing and comfortable stay. The kitchen was good to use with all essentials and useful pots and pans. There were the basics of salt, pepper, oil and vinegar to use.
The air con unit was really excellent, seeing as temperatures were in the late 30s when we came to stay.
Such a lovely place to unwind and relax. We explored the villages around, went to the village shop to get things. Friendly locals and great vegetables and local cheeses on offer.
Peter is an excellent host and we had some lovely conversations with him. We look forward to staying again and would highly recommend this place to people. All was great
- Greta (10/5): -
- de wit (10/5): - De meneer Peter is heel vriendelijk, mooi welkom en rustige ligging.
- Beverley (8/5): Great little apartment, super host! - A perfect location for exploring the Haskovo region
Really pretty quiet for Bulgarian villages!
An excellent, charismatic and very funny host (Peter) who's extremely quick to respond to requests and also pro-active in asking if you need anything, without being obsequious or intrusive
A really neat little apartment with most things you really need
Air conditioning a massive bonus
Proper cooker and extractor fan!
Washing machine!
Big corner sofa
Lovely shower room
Working TV for UK tv and Netflix and more
Guitar and singing thrown in (for no charge)
A well stocked mini bar (aka fridge) at cost
Coffee and various reasons, a few spices, oil, essentials already there
Birds chirping in the roof space was very cute (a workman left the extractor grill off so he was unfortunately stuck with them but they go to bed about 10.30)
I'm sure if you let Peter know in advance of specific needs he'll help accommodate them or let you know where you can go to get them
Work will be underway on the corridor area soon to create a better space for guests (his poor workman has been sick, but now recovered)
It was certainly the best place we stayed in the villages Village apartments are difficult to find - I liked everything about the apartment and Peter is just the best host
I've written to him separately with our suggestions for improvement. None of them are big issues
With a few tweaks this will soon be a 10 out of 10!
Well done Peter, this definitely sets a standard for others to follow.
- Loraaladjem (10/5): Exceptional - Nice, cozy apartment with everything you need. Very comfortable couch, well equipped kitchen and bathroom. The host even left us oil, spices, salt and sugar, coffee, detergent, shampoo and a bottle of his home made wine!
- Ven123 (10/5): Exceptional - We had a wonderful stay at the Cactus house, the apartment was new and spacious, warm with a fully kitted kitchen, the bed was very comfortable and we had a good sleep in this beautiful tranquil village. It truly brought me back in my happy childhood memories spending time with my grandma in a village like this one. Peter was an exceptional host, on arrival he welcomed us with a complimentary bottle of his own red wine, mineral water and loads of other free goodies to munch - after the long day we've had this was exactly what we needed. He even thought about our dog and got some treats for him as well. And we had a lovely chat with Peter who could tell you so many interesting stories. Also, the bathroom had a nice large shower head which was great. We had a stroll throughout the village with our dog and it was just peacefully quiet, just what we needed. Thank you Peter for your excellent hospitality and your lovely place!😊
- Søren (10/5): Lovely stay. - The location was great, nice area. Hospitality from the host Peter, was top notch, he served us wine and made us dinner. The apartment was clean, and the sheets and blankets were fresh. Washing machine and fridge available for use. A place to recommend.
- Mihail (10/5): Very modern and cosy place where you feel like home with an exceptional host! - We liked very much this place! We love rural idyll and the comfort at the same time so this was our place. The location is very near to the highway Trakia and near to the road to the Captain Andreevo border crossing.
The place is like very modern and cosy apartment with everything you need to live there. We were for a night but felt like home.
The host Peter is an exceptional person with a lot of experience and many interesting stories. It was a pleasure to talk to him. I recommend to everyone this place and the host Peter!
- Magdalena (10/5): Exceptional - We really enjoyed our short stay. The location is like in the middle of nowhere, an old and quite village. If you're looking for a peaceful, chill and not a fancy-type place, then you should give it a try.
It's an old traditional house, but the interior of the upper floor that is rented is really nice, modern and cozy.
But the most interesting "part" is the owner, who's life experience could be a true story for a movie.
Great homemade wine, cozy house, nice environment, nice conversation with the host! Definetly reccommed the place! The yard would need few improvements, as it is a bit messy,, but this is part of property's charm, in the end.
- Igor (10/5): Fresh renovated and comfortable apartment with exceptional and friendly owner - Very comfortable and fresh apartment
- Rienk (9/5): Great new apartment in a quiet area in the Bulgarian countryside - The apartment is completely new. It is clean and has all the necessary facilities. The owner lives below the apartment, you have your own access. The owner is friendly and provides a great breakfast, if you want it. The environment is very quiet. The access roads are very bad, but of course there is nothing the owner can do about that. There is nothing else to do in the village (so ideal if you are looking for a quit place to stay...).
- Anonymous (10/5): Great experience! - It was such a nice and warm welcoming from the host. Super friendly (dutch) man !
He gave us his own made wine from the vineyard in the garden. It tasted like heaven :)
Everything was good prepared for us, like fresh bread, cheese, coffee suplies, drinks, yoghurt and fruits.
He gave us also good information about where to visit eat&drink and sightseeings.
This village gives you a typical bulgarian living feeling which we loved to expierience.
Supermarkets are nearby in a town in less than half an hour drive. And lots of restaurants to have a nice meal. And also a perfect wifi connection!
He was a good company and had a lot of nice stories to tell which was really interresting.
So all and all we had a great time and it felt like visiting a good friend!
