    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.

    Nothing

    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.

    So very nearly a perfect 10 stay...

    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.

    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 ...

    Very beautiful location, extremely quiet and a wonderful escape. Hosts are very welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was cheese, ham, bread, jams, cake, fruit, juice and coffee - sets you up for the day. Would highly recommend.

    You do need a car if you want to get about, and they don't cater for lunches or evening meals. This was fine for us, as we planned to go out and about and eat in various places.

    Breathtaking rural location within striking distance of the city. Gave a real sense of getting away from it all. What really makes this place special is the host, Juan, and his lovely mother, who make you feel part of their family. There are just 7 bedrooms in this former farm-house. They provide comfortable bed and optional breakfast, which is ample and excellent quality. They provided everything we needed and nothing we didn't want. Bedrooms are compact, but more than adequate and there's a lounge and lots of outdoor space available for relaxing.

    Unfortunately being in a farming area, there were a lot of flies in our room. We would suggest that flyscreens be installed for this reason

    The building is in the countryside surrounded by farms and is quiet and tranquil. The hosts were very accommodating and we enjoyed our stay. The views of the hills all around made it a peaceful stay
