Situated in tiny village seemingly in middle of nowhere but actually very near to coast and many interesting places to visit in Cantabria and Picos. We had just 1 night on motorbike tour but can see would be lovely base for longer stay. All rooms different but all spacious and ours certainly had stunning and memorable view. 3-course dinner offered which was also very nice as wouldn't have wanted to travel further afield.

“Beautiful location, stunning views”

A small hotel, run by friendly people. IT's comfortable, though the upper floors could do with some TLC. Our room had fantastic views of the mountain ranges opposite.

A small hotel, run by friendly people. IT's comfortable, though the upper floors could do with some TLC. Our room had fantastic views of the mountain ranges opposite. We ate every night outside on the terrace, watching the sunsets. The set dinner is very good value at Eur14.50 (same as the wine) with a choice for each course. The pool has amazing views too and was refreshing after a day's sight seeing in the heat. Although we didn't walk much, it is obviously much used by serious walkers and dog lovers. (The owners have two lovely huskies). We would recommend it as a great rural hotel, comfortable and reasonably priced. It has a homely feel.

Lovely, very isolated location up in the hills about an hours drive from Santander where we had got off the boat from Plymouth. Looking for somewhere to relax for a couple of days before heading into the Rioja region. Depending on how good your satellite navigation is you can easily miss it and end up further up into the mountain than intended! Once found, the host was very welcoming and showed us an option of 3 or 4 rooms as they were quiet when we arrived. Rooms are nice, if a little basic, but clean. We had a very large balcony with a lovely view, though it was overcast when were there so couldn't take full advantage! Loved the dogs that were lazing about around reception, very friendly too. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great while we were there - after a week of hot temperatures before we arrived. As we are not walkers this left us with little to do - as it was too cool to use the outside pool. Dinner was nice and good value, and clearly fresh as they hadn't decided what they were cooking at about 3pm when we arrived! Due to the weather, decided to leave early, and owner was very accommodating, allowing us to use the second nights payment on the food. If weather is good and pool can be used I'm sure it would be perfect.

“Good for walkers and animal lovers”

The owner welcomed us and nothing was too much throughout our stay. We booked based on the high rating, but soon realised on arrival that this is very popular with walkers and their pets, who regularly return. The hotel environment and smell reflected this.

The owner welcomed us and nothing was too much throughout our stay. We booked based on the high rating, but soon realised on arrival that this is very popular with walkers and their pets, who regularly return. The hotel environment and smell reflected this. It would not be our choice to return, but plenty of visitors loved it. The animal aroma cannot be avoided, even in our bedroom room, which is not for us. The owner showed us around the gardens, walking through the long grass we came to the poolside. We could see broken rusty Sunbeds, and the owner pointed out that the pool needed cleaning, which we acknowledged as we saw worms and other creatures in the water. Again, many people love this retreat, which offers great views, walks and friendly atmosphere. You will not feel alone here.
