Cottages in Cantabria

"Although advertised with two bedrooms, the apartment only had one. A friend who was considering spending a week with us had to change her plans, The kitchen was woefully equipped: no storage space for food, no pedal bin, no cutting board, no cutting knife or bread knife... The rack to dry washing was derelict too. Our neighbours in the adjoining apartment complained of the same lack. No cleaning service offered for a stay of almost 3 weeks: only a change of sheets/towels arrived. The property...

"Un alojamiento muy acogedor en un paisaje precioso y tranquilo."

"We enjoyed the property and loved its location. There were some negatives: a lot of the crockery/cutlery needed re-washing when we arrived, the master bed wasn’t very comfortable and there is no soundproofing in the house whatsoever! But it was in a great location and was perfectly adequate and enjoyable for a week’s stay."

"Estancia ideal. Dueños encantadores. La casa tiene de todo. Las terrazas ideales para tomar algo. Con espacio. Los niños fliparon con los juguetes. Y está cerca de muchas cosas. La recomiendo sin ninguna duda!!"

"A very relaxing week in a lovely, peaceful location with beaches very nearby and all amenities within a 10 minute walk. The property was clean, welcoming and the views were beautiful. The pool and tennis court were great for our teenage boys and we could easily have spent every day just at the villa. Beaches nearby were great for swimming and boarding.

"We are a retired couple spending three months bicycling in northern Spain. The host and his son took great care to show us where everything was and how it worked. We speak no Spanish, but they were kind and patient and made sure we had what we needed. The apartment is lovely and complete, the location is absolutely beautiful. We bike through Santa Lucia park to a large grocery store 4 miles away and brought back all the supplies for dinner and breakfast. We played with the puppy next door. We...

"Pros: amazing rural setting, complete with cows, sheep, donkeys and chickens. The owner was efficient and responsive throughout. She very kindly made a phone call for us as our Spanish was not good enough. A good center from which to see many wonderful sites. Small but adequate kitchen, ditto bathroom. Comfortable beds. Cons: very steep, narrow stairs to bedrooms - would not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues. The rental shares paper-thin walls with the owners and another rental unit -...

"Loved the area, loved the house. Great walk from house to town and beaches; House is charming and well-kept. The surrounding neighborhood is rural and charming. We will be back every year."
