Precioso para ir de fin de semana

Salvando que yo busqué el hotel en una página de Only Adults y no lo es (error mío) , la atención ha sido muy buena, aunque comentar que no te dejan descansar los niños de la habitación de al lado y que te respondan que no viajes en puentes ni festivos, como que no me gustó, pero puede ser cosa mía. En todo momento puedes pedir consejos para visitar la zona y comer bien (son buenísimos guías turísticos). La zona es maravillosa y tranquila, con vistas a la montaña... El desayuno no está mal (lo mejor las tartas y bizcochos caseros). Y la habitación preciosa con balcón y decoración de madera muy bonito, solo espero que sellen bien la ducha para no tener que estar secando el agua.

No volvere

No me sentí cómodo por la actitud de los dueños. Rozan la falta de respeto al cliente. Es la primera vez que tenía ganas de dejar un hotel.

Nice hotel but let down spa experience

If you are thinking on booking to enjoy the spa services ... don’t. It is a harsh comment, given this is a small establishment with very nice people and rooms. But the spa is simply lacking, small, not maintained and not working. The water jets were barely noticeable (when they worked at all) and the water was cloudy. The place would have done better to have a steam and dry sauna instead of offering what is a too small a crowded lacklustre experience. But, that said, the large rooms are great with nice comfy beds and views and the hotel is located not far (by car 15min/7km) from beaches or Santander itself. Breakfast is copious (this is Spanish style so you will have cakes, cheeses and cold meats, nice breads and olive oil/tomato). I am always a little disappointed when the orange juice is not freshly squeezed as it was the case. You can find cheaper options with similar rooms/services so it is the spa premium that simply leaves a slight sour taste as it is just not up to standards.

Puente de ensueño

Fuimos a pasar el puente de Octubre y la verdad que repetiremos! Nos encantó! La habitación muy espaciosa, con su balconcito, servicio de spa (no es muy grande, pero lo justo para quedarte relajado y pasar una tarde de lluvia), de los mejores desayunos que hemos podido probar estando en casas rurales u hoteles. Sin duda alguna volveremos! 100% recomendable! Algo a mejorar; estaría bien poder tomarte un café en la misma posada sin tener que salir con el coche. Por ejemplo dejando a mano sobres de café o té con una tetera.

Trip to Cantabria & Bilbao

Excellent location, nice and quiet, yet accessible to the beach and mountains. A short ride to the boat stop, makes it an easy boat ride to santander. Highly recommended, especially when a family run business tries so hard to please.

Très bon hôtel

Hôtel très sympa à la campagne et très proche santander. L'accueil et le service sont irréprochables. Petit déjeuner buffet impressionnant et très bon. Très bonne literie également. Nous avons profité du sauna et de la piscine après nos balades. A proximité à pied : 2 restos, 1 supérette, 1 parc de jeu ...

Zowel volop zoet als hartig beleg en ruim assortiment cake,taart, etc. Allemaal door de vrouw des huizes zelf gebakken! Fijn familie bedrijf met persoonlijke aandacht! Complimenten!

Comodidad y estilo a un paso de Santander

Ubicado a 12 minutos del Centro de Santander, en la localidad de Pedreña, "El Abuelo de la Cachava" es una buenísima elección para visitar la capital cántabra. Con el aspecto de una Casa Rural, reúne todas las comodidades para una estancia tranquila. Habitación muy amplia, cama king size con colchón muy confortable, baño equipado y wifi gratis. El descanso es muy bueno, porque la zona es muy silenciosa, y como pega, diría que el aislamiento lumínico podría ser mejor, porque entra bastante luz por la ventana del baño. Mención aparte es el desayuno: impresionante!!! Muchísima variedad de dulces y salados, y además de gran calidad. Los bizcochos caseros estaban buenísimos. Si el zumo de naranja fuese natural sería de los mejores desayunos que hemos probado. Y queremos resaltar también el magnífico trato que nos dieron las propietarias, facilitándonos la estancia en todo momento con útiles indicaciones y con su buen humor. Resumiendo, una fantástica opción para alojarse si quieres visitar Santander y Cabárceno, por cercanía, tranquilidad y calidad del servicio.

Great family run hotel set in peaceful location

This was our first stay at El Abuleo on route to Santander Ferry from the Cadiz region. Set in a very quiet location and only 15 mins to Santander. We found the owners ver welcoming and our room was very comfortable. We ate locally and enjoyed a three course meal & a bottle of wine for 34 euros! The buffet breakfast was delicious - home cooked produce, the tortilla and home baked cakes were particularly yummy. Unfortunately we did not use the pool/spa. We would definitely recommend and will most certainly make a return visit.

Well appointed hotel in a quiet location

Once you have found this hotel, the experience is all pleasing in this family-run establishment. Charming hosts make you feel welcome and, between them, speak French, English and, of course, Spanish. The rooms are motel-style, but very well-appointed. We were particularly pleased that the heating was on and the room cosy on a chilly evening. Breakfast is supplied, but there was nowhere close by for dinner. However, our host jumped in his car and we were able to follow him about 5 kilometres to a good fish restaurant by the sea. Parking in front of the hotel appears to be safe as it is located in a residential and fairly rural location. We will certainly stay here again, especially before and after trips on the Santander ferry.

Peace and quiet near Santander

A delightful hotel chosen as a result of reviews. We were upgraded to a suite as the original booking could not be fulfilled. Super helpful staff and we managed to communicate in French! English speaking sister in the morning was more than helpful, supplying us with menu translations and many useful Spanish phrases. Comfortable bed, loads of hot water, excellent breakfast and very reasonable price. Great restaurant within walking distance in the village - can't remember the name but it's the only one - 9€ 3 course meal and a MOST acceptable 4€ bottle of white wine. A superb start to the holiday away from the madness of the city, 2 minute drive to the motorway to head south in the morning. Highly recommended.
