What is the difference between one bedroom and three bedroom forest house?

One-Bedroom Forest House: We offer only one house of this type and its capacity is for two people. The house has one bathroom & toilet as well as one double bedroom which can be transformed into two single beds if needed.

Three bedroom forest house: Each of the four three bedroom forest houses can accommodate up to six people. The houses have three separate bedrooms – two of them with double beds and one with single beds or queen size bed /depending on the house/. Each of the three bedroom houses has two contemporarily equipped bathrooms and toilets.

Are all three bedroom houses the same?

The size of the individual houses is between 65-75 sq.m./ without the porch /. Due to the specific nature of the terrain, the individual porches have some differences in size and layout. Some of the rooms also have minimal variations in terms of space and arrangement.

Depending on the particular house the bedrooms consist of either two with double beds and one with two single beds or two with double beds and one with a queen size bed. The interior of the houses is largely identical with insignificant differences.

I have not stayed in a caravan until now, is this kind of accommodation for me?

Our caravans for hire are a great opportunity to enjoy a real camping experience if you do not have your own caravan or camper or you simply prefer not to take them with you this time. We believe that this type of accommodation would appeal to anyone whose frame of mind is to get closer to a camping experience and those of you looking for a switch from the standard accommodation options.

Our rental caravans are not a luxury form of accommodation, nor are they similar to a modern hotel room.

How big are the caravans and what is their capacity?

The caravans for hire are different models and their size and capacity vary accordingly. We’ve divided them into three categories.

  1. “Compact”– this type of caravans has a spacious lounge area, which can be transformed into a compact bedroom or two single beds. The compact caravan would be an ideal option for 2 adults.
  2. “Medium”– the caravans from this category consist of a small bedroom (which can also be converted into two single beds ) and one extra single bed. We recommend this option for families with one child.
  3. “Large” – the most spacious type of caravans we offer. This kind of rental caravans are the perfect choice for families with two children or those who prefer a rather spacious interior. These caravans usually have two small bedrooms or a bedroom with two single beds.

Depending on the model, the caravans are approximately 3.5 m-5.5 m long and 2 m-2.5 m wide.

What sort of equipment to expect in the caravans for hire?

The furnishing is strictly individual, depending on the type of caravan. In general the caravans are provided with standard equipment, including a small fridge, a kitchenette, a fan, bedding and towels. There is also a table with chairs in front of each caravan, which we ask you not to move around.

There is a small toilet in all caravans, some have a shower room, however we ask these not to be used. All guests are given access to comfortable sanitary facilities, just a few meters from the caravans. Please note that the caravans do not have a TV set and air conditioning, but each is supplied with a fan. Upon request we can provide electrical heater in order to warm up.

In the camping area there are four additional refrigerators for common use, placed for convenience of our guests.The caravans do not have kitchen utensils and are not suitable for cooking. If you wish to prepare your own food, you are offered access to modern tourist kitchen, available to all the camping guests. Please note that the kitchen is supplied with basic and limited kitchen utensils and cutleries, therefore we advise you to bring your own.

What should I take with me for the stay at the rental caravan?

We recommend that you carry everything you think will make your stay in our caravans an even more comfortable experience. Example: additional outdoor lighting, sun umbrellas, sun loungers, toiletries and more. Don’t forget that you are camping.

Is there electrical power and water in the caravans?

Yes, the caravans are supplied with electricity and water.

Please note that the electrical system in the caravans is not adapted to withstand the load of appliances such as electric grills, more powerful hair dryers and the like.

Where are the caravans for hire located and what distances are apart from each other?

The caravans for hire are located in a specially designated area, benefiting from the shade of the numerous trees there. Some of the caravans are situated on parcels with partial shade and more sunlight. These have large umberllas being put in front of them for extra sun protection.

The caravans in this camping zone are just a few meters away from each other. The sanitary facilities are no more than 70m-80m from the furthest caravan, so is the distance to the campsite reception.

Where can I park my vehicle?

In front of each rental caravan, there is a designated parking spot for one car – this is included in the price of your stay. Please do not use your vehicle to move around the campsite unless it is absolutely necessary. Drive at slow speed at all times. Turn off the car’s alarm and audio system and do not use the horn.

Please park at the place defined for your car or in the nearby parking lot.

Pets are not allowed in the camping zone caravans for hire as well as in other accommodation units that we offer. Ignorance of this condition is a cause for termination of the reservation and imposition of a fine of 50lev.
