Jardin de Carrejo

This small hotel really is a terrific place to stay. 1. It's location makes access to Santander and Bilbao reasonable (for ferry travellers) 2. It is also located in a very beautiful area, with good access to coastal towns, as well as inland rural areas. Of particular note are the prehistoric caves. 3. The hotel itself is very attractive. The grounds are extensive and very well maintained. The rooms are modern and well equipped - but most of all the level of service is very high. An evening meal is served on demand for guests - the menu is limited and relatively simple, and very good. The breakfast was outstanding with a wide choice of local produce. Guests during summer clearly make use of the outdoor terrace, etc. which (in November) we did not. But everything looked very attractive and inviting. We highly recommend this hotel as a base for exploring this area of Cantabria.

This is a charming, boutique, family run hotel, perfectly situated to explore the coast, Cantabria and Los Picos National parks. We were very fortunate to stumble upon it when our motor home broke down and we needed somewhere to stay for 5 days. We arrived at very short notice and were very stressed but Alfonso, Rosita and all the staff were extremely sympathetic and helpful. They soothed our nerves , dealt with the garage mechanics on our behalf and organised taxis. Nothing was too much trouble. They were so thoughtful and considerate that they even put us in one of the beautiful garden suites because they were concerned about my mobility issues managing the stairs to the second floor bedroom, but they didn't charge us for the upgrade. The hotel was virtually full but they kindly accommodated us in various rooms, all of which were to a very high standard. They were all well appointed and spotlessly clean, the beds and pillows were luxurious and the towels soft and fluffy. The balconies are well equipped and spacious. The breakfasts are absolutely delicious with a vast array of top quality produce on offer. There was always a member of staff to make a cooked breakfast if we wanted. Breakfast was also served late if we wanted , which suited us perfectly. The gardens are expansive and tranquil , with streams and many attractive, mature trees. It was a delight to walk around such a beautiful environment. Without the help of Alfonso, Rosita and their staff, we would have suffered a disastrous climax to our three week holiday in Northern Spain. In the end we had a month long holiday, the last week of which was made a truly pleasant break in the midst of a crisis. Thank you! We will visit again and so should you!
