Sweet space located near caves but musty

The hotel is lovely, in a quaint, old stone home, beautiful flowers in the garden, quiet, and free on-site parking. However, the hotel suffers from mold. If you have a mold allergy, as we did, this is definitely not a place you should stay. Lots of storage space in the room, which was nice, and the beds were very comfortable. Quiet with lovely views but the location was a bit lacking as there was nowhere to walk around, and the nearest food was at least 1.5 km away or more. Service from the owners was great though be forewarned there is no elevator and no one to assist with bags. It was clearly not their fault that the WiFi was not working the first as the cables had been broken although it was a challenge for one of us in the party who had to do work and had to go steal wifi from another location. Would have been great to have been warned of this ahead of time for better planning.

Lovely B & B accommodations in a residential area removed from the typical tourist area. Jose and Sophie were wonderful hosts and the B&B was charming with lots of antiques and beautiful plants. Would have enjoyed staying longer.

A rural stay

The hotel was quite difficult to find not actually in a village in a country lane with other houses with drives and gates. Had to ask directions as the sat/nav finished about 1/2 mile away. Once there plenty of parking in the garden drive area. It's a beautiful property the owner was very welcoming and our room spotless and very cosy and warm. The temperature was around 0c we had already experienced torrential rain, hail stones and snow. Breakfast was excellent plenty of different choices, however dinner was slightly strange, it included a bottle of wine and water but only 1 choice of starter and main course. You had to like fish. Shellfish soup which was quite nice and then mackerel fish balls and chips and a choice of simple desserts. I've already informed the owner about my negative comments and he is going to look into it.

Family loves to take care of guests!!!

We felt so close to our hosts . They treated us very well and insured we got to know the area. The small neighborhood where the Posada was locales made it a very special and private place away from the big city. The family had children to take care and yet they were very accomodating and very aware of our needs. The food provided was excellent and very high quality. Presentation in the eating áreas and the rest of the hotel were spectacular. I will go back there in a heartbeat. Perfect for a romantic honeymoon!!

Wonderful Character hotel/B and B

This was a one night stopover before sailing on the ferry from Santander.
La Cotía is nothing short of superb, the best place I have stayed in and I have travelled a lot. This country house has been beautifully done, preserving the character. Absolutely gorgeous. It is comfortable, spacious, full of character and the service was excellent.
I had an evening meal and the food was very good at a very reasonable price. The continental breakfast was good too.
The surrounding area is beautiful, lovely scenery and although the weather was a bit rainy, it did not harm the scenery.
I shall stay here again when next in the area and we shall return to the area specifically spend some time in the area and to stay at Posada de La Cotía.

Beautiful, stylish Spanish home

My wife and I spent four nights the Posada La Cotia. Our hosts couldn't have been more welcoming or helpful. La Cotia is a beautifully furnished and comfortable place to stay. Our bedroom was a decent size with a small balcony and like everywhere else in the house very clean. The breakfasts were very very good. An evening meal was available- the menu was very simple and what was available on any evening was announced by around 11am on the morning - it was an extremely reasonable price; worth noting that this meal was served at 9pm.
Because it is in the countryside, about 20 miles from Santander, you need to have your own transport. Plenty of interesting places within easy reach.
An extremely good value hotel/ bed n'breakfast which we would recommend without hesitation.

The jewel of Cantabria!

Everything about Posada La Cotía was wonderful. Our room was lovely and immaculate with gorgeous decor and inspiring views of the Cantabrian countryside; the building and grounds are enchanting & well maintained; the food at breakfast & especially dinner was so delicious as to make us want to lick our plates; the location was centrally located to the sites we wanted to visit; and Sofía and José were warm, welcoming, and considerate of our interests and needs at every turn. Our only complaint is that we didn't stay longer. What a delight!

Nice hotel for Spanish speaking couples

Hotel is a B&B style hotel in scienic locations and it is designer-decorated in an old world charm fashion. Overall a 5 rating. The owner does not speak English, so the hotel is far best for Spanish speaking couples. Breakfast hours are too late, 9-10 AM, so time flies at this place. Very nice bathrooms and guest rooms with view. Tiny flat screen TV. Excellent bed and pillows.

Very convenient stop, 20 miles from Santander.
Young couple, Jose and Sophia working really hard to make their guests very welcome. Evening meal only available if booked in advance but good selection of restaurants in nearby town.
Good breakfast, and comfortable room, would stay again.

The best of the best

We booked this little B&B outside of Santander to visit several locations in the area. Our hosts, Sofia and Jose, we're the best, breakfast was great, parking and WiFi top notch. Absolutely everything about this place was wonderful and it was a very impressive house comma Tastefully decorated and full of Old World charm.

Muito bem, confortável e bonito.
Apenas o check in foi algo..... Estranho.
Reservamos o alojamento às 21,30h e chegamos às 23h. O dono depois de se apresentar disse-nos que devíamos ter chegado até às 18h🤔😏
Se aceita uma reserva às 21,30h, como quereria que estivéssemos ali até às 18h???
De resto, tudo muito bem.

El lugar está un poco apartado. Hay que usar el GPS para llegar allí, pero una vez que llegas tanto el interior de la posada como las vistas son maravillosas. Decoración muy cuidada y el matrimonio que lleva la posada amable y servicial con cualquier duda o necesidad en la que te puedan ayudar.

Llevo alojándome en hoteles de todo tipo y condición durante muchos años y puedo decir que este es el que más me ha impactado por su decoración, comodidad, relación calidad/precio, ubicación y sobre todo y ante todo por el trato tan exquisito recibido por parte de José. Más parece un amigo de toda la vida que el dueño de la posada. Altamente recomendable para gente con sensibilidad y sin prisas.

Una casa de cuento de hadas

Nos alojamos, en esta preciosa casa,dos parejas, el primer fin de semana de abril.Se cumplieron todas nuestras expectativas : las fotos publicadas en la web ,son fieles a la realidad,el entorno fantástico,cuidado,muy bonito;la casa es realmente única.Los detalles te sorprenden, tanto en la decoración(exquisita), como en el trato.Hay algo que no quiero pasar por alto porque realmente me impactó y es el aroma sutil que envolvía toda la casa cuando llegamos, incluso fuera ,en el porche;hasta en eso que en fotos no se aprecia,ponen cuidado.Es muy acogedora,está perfectamente equipada (climatización,camas muy muy cómodas, el baño muy completo,hervidor de agua en la habitación para preparar café o infusión......);el desayuno riquísimo,muy abundante y variado(cada dia sorprenden con distintos alimentos y dulces caseros recién horneados).Por último ,decir que Jose es un excelente anfitrión,nos informó muy bien sobre todo.Se nota que le gusta lo que hace,es encantador.Muchas gracias por estos dias maravillosos.
