Situated in the countryside, this typical Cantabrian house is set in Herrán, 800 metres from Santillana del Mar historic town and within driving distance from Altamira Caves.

The house has a comfortable lounge and a dining room where breakfast is served. There is also a microwave, kettle and a fridge.

It's a beautiful old house at a beautiful location close to Santillana and Altamira. The host was super nice and friendly. My room looked exactly like in the photos and was spotless. I loved the atmosphere of the place and it was very comfortable. Breakfast was available at 5 EUR, so that was quite convenient.

The room had all we needed, nice clean bathroom, spacious closet, little balcony with a view to the mainland and most importantly a comfortable bed. We really enjoyed the breakfast, which has been sourced by local products, and served by our friendly host directly to the table.

    Super friendly hosts. Great location, quiet area, family and pet friendly. Looked after garden space. Feels like home rather then rented accommodation, which for me is the best I could get.

    Beautiful building in a gorgeous town. Quaint. Charming. Lovely woodwork all around inside the hostel all hand built by the owners who have their spectacular hand made furniture business next door! The hotel was clean and it felt safe. Great location to walk around town. Close to a nice restaurant, Casa Cossio, where they serve the best Cocido Montañés I’ve had in Cantabria!

    Our second stay in Sep 2023. A different room this time - outside the main building. Not as good as our previous room but to be expected as a little older I suspect. Great location for Santander and the beautiful town of Santillana del Mar. Great hospitality, lovely breakfasts, tranquil location in quiet countryside location off the beaten track. Superb gardens. Very Dog friendly which is a bonus for us.

    The place is beautiful and quiet, surrounded by nature and at the top of a street, although it is very close to the old city center. The owner is very kind and despite the fact that she doesn't speak English, we were able to understand each other. The room is large and well equipped.

    Beautiful old house, like a bed and breakfast minus the breakfast. Our only complaint would be the lack of internet. Otherwise it’s a beautiful and comfortable place to stay. Top of the hill, walking distance to a grocery store, was a great location for us.
