“Beautiful location and great value.”

The best

Loved the rural location and views with proximity to beach (13 minutes away where we did surf lessons in Somo). The hosts were also really kind and accommodating.

“AN EXCELLENT STAY IN A FANTASTIC LOCATION”

The best

Our stay was fabulous. We knew from the description that the location was in the countryside- it was and has outstanding views of the hills and Santander bay. The room was very comfortable and quiet. Since it is a few kilometres to local restaurants we had lunch in Santander and sat having a beer in the garden watching the sunset. Breakfast was a great value additional purchase. We will visit again.

“Excellent place to stay”

The best

An excellent small hotel with friendly hosts. The place was easy to find and there are plenty of spaces to park. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The breakfast was good.

In the morning they started to spread shit on the nearby field, so the smell during the breakfast wasn't exactly pleasing

“So very nearly a perfect 10 stay...”

The best

A warm welcome at a delightful rural location. A country house with rustic charm (beams & stones) and idyllic views over green farmland hills and cattle grazing. A tranquil location even if Santander (a mere 20 mins drive away) city buildings are just about visible on the far horizon. Pleasant, well-cared for garden with lovely flower pots. We thought this would be just perfect for a last night stop-over: some peace, quiet and tranquility before catching the ferry after a sleepless night and a long tiring cross-country drive to get here... A cozy room, no frills but comfortable and super-clean with ensuite facilites. A most delicious home-made breakfast. Juan and his mother are the dream-team. We would have whole-heartedly given this stay 10/10 . . . apart from a small hiccup ...

We were rather disappointed that one hour after our arrival (mid-afternoon on a Sunday) having just settled in and looking forward to a much-needed siesta rest ... our host decided to leap onto his motorised grass-cutting mini-tractor and proceeded to meticulously and noisily cut the patch of lawn immediately under our window! Considering we had told our host @ check-in how tired we were and looking forward to some tranquility after the madness of the motorway traffic to get here, this was rather thoughtless. And on a Sunday afternoon, too?! Clearly, Juan was motivated by his desire to have the place looking nice for guests. And yes, we do understand that these jobs need doing... but for sure, such a noisy task is best left to a time of day / week when there are no guests. We just wouldn't dream of cutting our own lawns at home on a Sunday and disturb our neighbours' rest day. In spite of this, we would not hesitate to return at another time and for sure, even stay a little longer to enjoy the area.
