Very quiet and comfortable. Great value too.
We had very nice and accomodating owners who were living in the same building and always available to help. The property is located in a very beutiful valey away from it all so a car is escencial. A lot of oportunities for things to do easily reachable by car. A lot of shoping in a short driving distance too. Very convenient bakery/cafe near buy (5 minutes drive, loved it). Unfortunately the weather was not perfect during our stay but it was merely the ownly downside I could think off. Would be happy to stay there again in the future.

Brilliant accommodation and hospitality.....highly recommended!
We had the privilege to spend a most amazing 16 days in this wonderful location. Despite variable weather from heavy rain and thunderstorms to hot sunny days if we were not in the delightful garden, we could be found sitting on the balcony enjoying the silence of the countryside which was only broken by bird song and the gentle sound of the bells on cows and sheep in fields nearby. Taking meals at our delightful garden table added to the overall experience of a relaxing holiday. We can highly recommend this unique spot which despite it's apparent isolation is ideally situated for trips to the many and varied beaches along the stunning coastline of Northern Spain. Alternatively, there is an assortment of traditional Spanish towns and villages to visit and,of course, the breath taking Picos mountains and unspoiled Valle de Carriega and Miera. Judith, our host, was very charming and helpful....and our daily visit from her Whippet, Piglet was a delight for us all especially our dog, Harvey a Tibetan Terrier! All in all a very comfortable and dog friendly location for "a get away from it all" holiday. Thank you Judith for your ability to always be on hand but never intrusive! We shall return!

Relaxing in Cantabria
A lovely place for a great holiday! A place to get up late, then tootle off to visit some of the amazing places, then have a great lunch using that marvelous custom of Spanish cuisine: the Menu del Dia, and then back to relax in the garden, or in front of a log fre!

A beautiful place with nice hosts
We enjoyed staying in the cottage. It is a very pretty cottage in a beautiful part of Spain. It's very green and less expensive. The owners were very sensible and kind too. We cooked every evening. Perhaps we should have brought aprons and a peeler and grater. There are a lot of nice places and a few good supermarkets one can visit easily by car.

Quiet and Comfortable
My wife and I, and our two dogs, stayed at Judith and Martin’s “San Cipriano” cottage for two nights in March. The accommodation is reflected accurately in the pictures and description provided. The unit was very clean, appointed with all that we required, the bed was comfortable, the shower worked well and was spacious, and there was plenty of hot water. The house grew from the restoration of ruins and shows particularly fine woodwork and craftsmanship. The location is very quiet and scenic. The inside and outside spaces, including the enclosed yard for guests (and particularly their dogs), are well thought out and provided us with plenty of room. The covered outdoor eating area and car park are very convenient when it rains. While the location is best suited for those traveling by a car, a wide variety of interesting sites and activities can be found within a short distance. There are plenty of informational brochures and maps of the local area in the unit.

Wonderful home in the country of Northern Spain
We really enjoyed staying at this home in the countryside of Northern Spain, south of Santander. It was really great to be in a rural location, especially one in such a scenic spot. The home had a very comfortable feeling with antiques and beautiful art work by the owner's father on the walls. Comfortable living and dining area and good beds. The kitchen was small but had everything we needed. Judith was so kind and welcoming offering eggs and chestnuts from her garden. Also making arrangements for a tour to the caves for us. We felt like we were in a real home with real warmth and real people. I wish I could see them again. We even made friends with their dogs. I will have great memories of our stay here. Judith also offered great advice on places to visit. Picos of Europe and many coastal towns with wonderful old towns to visit.

An appartment, which is part of the owners' home. Rustic and comfortable.
A lovely holiday home with an owner that was friendly and helpful. Judith went out of her way to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The property was clean and comfortable with the antique furniture giving it a rural farmhouse feel. We loved sitting on the balcony watching the sun rise over the mountains or having a leisurely lunch in the garden under the shade of the The kitchen was limited to a gas hob and microwave ( so no oven) but this did not really make any difference to us. Our only disappointment was the hard beds. We enjoyed going into Cartes to the bank, baker or for coffee (although no longer any food store there unfortunately) and this was approximately 20minutes down a winding road.

Lovely welcome and a great place to relax and explore Spain's northern coast
We had a brilliant stay at La Ardilla - Judith and her family were very welcoming and the accommodation was inviting, relaxing and well appointed. The location is great for exploring the local hills and the coastal towns and beaches. Good links to major roads made travel further afield easy too. Supermarkets are within a drive of 15 minutes or so. On site, the private garden, trampoline and the shared pool and table tennis table meant that our two boys genuinely enjoyed being at La Ardilla as much as the time we spent on the beaches! The sounds in the garden range from wind in the trees to donkeys braying in the valley and cattle bells on the hills all around. Would love to return sometime (sooner rather than later we hope) - thanks so much Judith & family!

Stunning Location
We have just returned from a week's stay, we noticed the house as soon as we turned onto the track, set back in stunning acres and breathtaking views. Judith was an excellent host we only saw her when needed too which wasn't often. The shared pool was a welcome delight after a hard day at one of the many beautiful beaches. Truly stunning would recommend to one and all... Our only gripe was the weather but even so sharing a glass it wine overlooking the views while feeding the ponies an apple took our mind off the rain!
