Friendly, friendly, friendly! And such big beds! We had suffered really bad food poisoning at the campsite nearby, and couldn't cycle anywhere, but we managed to get on our bikes to get here where we were so relieved to be met with friendly staff, a secure place for our bikes, and big comfy beds. We would have loved to try the food, but we weren't in the condition to! The coffee in the morning was superb! The little town was lovely, with a supermarket close by, and a nice bar in the square for a cold drink. Thank you all so much for looking after us!

Packed with people Easter Sunday. We hadn't booked, found us a table and gave great service. Good home cooking, bean stew absolutely delicious and a large helping, good salad, and desserts were delicious too. Recommend Rice pudding and crème caramel, which is what we ate. Home made, really good.

Hemos estado un grupo grande, de 20 pax, y la propietaria se ha esforzado al máximo en atendernos. Los desayunos han sido copiosos (café, tostadas, aceite, tomate, jamón, bollería...) y la cenas, sencillas pero bien cocinadas y a discreción.
