I wanted somewhere close to Dijon with parking at a reasonable price and this establishment seemed to fit the bill. The drive from Dijon made me wonder what I'd let myself in for as it was necessary to travel through some heavy industrial areas not too far from the hotel. This proved to be unfounded as there was no sign or indication that these were in the area. There is plentiful free parking in the hotel grounds, so I wasn't disappointed on that score. I was made very welcome by the receptionist on arrival and had a nice room to the front of the hotel that overlooked a small valley. The room itself had all that I needed and was comfortable. During the afternoon I took a walk to Candas, which is a larger coastal town about 20 minutes walk away, where there were a large assortment of restaurants and bars. The menu-del-dia that evening was very tasty with decent size portions and very reasonably priced. Once again the staff in the restaurant were very friendly and helpful. I slept well and found the bed comfortable, but my only complaint would be that the pillows are very hard. Checking out in the morning was quick and processed by yet another friendly member of staff. I would certainly consider staying here again if I find myself in this area again.

“Good location, varied breakfast buffet, nice room but mediocre dinner.”

This was the last hotel during our 8-day journey through North-Spain. The location is good, close to the sea and some nice green spots with wonderful birds, like kingfishers.

This was the last hotel during our 8-day journey through North-Spain. The location is good, close to the sea and some nice green spots with wonderful birds, like kingfishers. We arrived with our company of 16 persons, this caused some nervous behaviour of the crew, also due to the language gap. Very usual in Spain because most only speak their own language. The hotel is wonderful with a beautiful and spacious interior. Our only problem was the dinner. We had an arrangement for 16 persons including only one choice of the starter and only one choice for the dinner. And the choice was between mediocre and poor: a starter with a huge pile of lettuce while the dinner with chicken didn't offer any vegetables. The second day the dinner was a thick and dry fish with too many fish-bones. I asked for the menu-list, that included delicious meals so I am afraid that me and my company were victims of a low budget deal ... Another flaw: please more smiles while serving our company, it seemed we had done something wrong!

“Spanish lesson”

This hotel is like going back in time. Very old fashioned rooms. The resturant served nice food and was probably the best part of the hotel.

This hotel is like going back in time. Very old fashioned rooms. The resturant served nice food and was probably the best part of the hotel. I probably would not return to this hotel as for me it was too expensive for what there was ..breakfast was very very basic..only hot food was served on a Sunday and fruit was few and far between. A family run hotel and they are a lovely family but it's just too expensive for what it is .
