Good value stay in a rural hotel

The hotel is a few km from Santillana del Mar (certainly not within walking distance) so you would need to drive there and, if going for dinner, someone would have to avoid drinking alcohol. Having said that dinner in the hotel was included in the price and was very good - not haute cuisine by any means - but very pleasant. The hotel is a little bit dated and our air conditioner didn't work. Our room was right on the main road so opening the windows wasn't an option due to traffic noise. Consequently we spent a bit of a stuffy night. Staff were very courteous and friendly. The hotel had a good selection of brandy for me to have with my after dinner coffee. Overall, the hotel was good value for money.

Muy bien en el aspecto de alojamiento , lo que no veo tan normal es que se catalogue como barrio cuando está a dos kilómetros del pueblo elegido , por lo demás todo bien, lo digo porque se tiene de tirar de coche para todo

Excelente opción muy cerca de Santillana Del Mar.

Muy cómodo. Todo se correspondía con lo anunciado. Hubo un par de problemas con la calefacción y el agua caliente pero el personal del hotel actuó de inmediato y los resolvió. La ubicación muy buena. Cerca de Santillana Del Mar y de las cuevas de Altamira. El parking gratis es un plus importante.

Recomendable

Está muy cerca de Santillana del Mar por lo que la ubicación es perfecta tanto para visitarla como para coger la autopista para visitar otros lugares. La cama muy comoda y la limpieza correcta. Toman todas las medidas contra el Covid-19.
