Concejo Hospederia

This is a very Spanish set up. We only saw 3 other people the whole time we were there. I think the Chef let us in at the rear of the hotel, a waiter took our order at dinner and served us and on leaving I paid my bill to a young man who let us out. It did feel a bit like ‘you can check out anytime you like but you can never leave’!

Lack of information of how to get in and how to leave. Very little English spoken, our problem not their’s.

Great welcome and the evening meal in the restaurant was outstanding. We needed to get some medication and the hotel phoned the pharmacy in the next village to ensure they had the medication and to advise them that we were coming to collect.

Failed to get any hot water from the shower and very little water pressure.

Cristina swept us up in her exuberant hospitality the moment we walked into this old castle, and she was alwaysthere to make sure we were comfortable, happy, well-fed, and paying attention to the special features of the building: the original floors and stairs, and the paintings by the general who bought the castle originally. This inn appears tobe THE place for big weddings and other celebrations in the area, and there are large rooms on the first floor toaccomodate hundreds of guests, but the dining room for hotel guests is intimate and elegant. And there is a smallbar by the entrance where you can have drinks and tapas. The feeling of hospitality extends to every one of the staff we met, and especially to the owner, Enrique, who personally mapped out a day trip for us to visit castles, monasteries, churches, and interesting walled towns nearby.

We loved everything about this hotel ! A 1200 year old castle then renovated into a palace and finally to finish up as a modern, trendy and chic place to stay. The restaurant was fabulous great food and fresh ingredients and very good service. Must do the breakfast as it was a bargain for what you got. The hosts/ owners and staff were so nice, friendly and helpful, we even got a personalised tour of the local village. Oh forgot to mention it is associated with the vineyard nearby with great selection of the local wine … triple bonus

Everything was perfect. I went to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday and I told the team, that made our stay unforgettable. They upgraded our room for our celebration, the breakfast was unreal, the attention absolutely amazing. The restaurant is a MUST go! And if you have time, do the wine experience, you won’t regret. Easily one of the best hotels we’ve stayed, super romantic and full of history. Enrique, Angel, Lorea and everyone at Concejo, thank you very much! We can’t wait to return!

Everything was 10/10, no complaints at all.

It was just great, lovely old building, very well appointed and charmingly helpful staff. Often used as a wedding venue but we were there midweek, so it was quiet. Room was fab, lovely countryside view, spacious. We had dinner, which was just excellent, the biggest melt-in-your-mouth steak you can imagine, top quality nosh. We didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment on that.

Front door could do with a bit of signage.

Breakfast was superb and beautifully presented. Bed was large and comfortable. Hotel was quirky and very unusual. Staff were friendly. Well located for travellers heading to the Santander ferry port.

The hotel is primarily a wedding venue and was the night I stayed. In the morning the guests and revellers had left but so had the windscreen wipers from my Portuguese registered car which I was told was safer inside the hotel property than on the street.

Wonderful ancient hostelry, remagined for modern use. Huge, comfortable rooms with a fabulous modern bathroom, just a few minutes from the motorway, but in a quiet rural village.Fantastic service and some of the best food we have ever eaten. Quality all the way and at affordable prices. Cannot speak highly enough.

Nothing. It was all fabulous

The owner and the staff were lovely and couldn't have been more helpful, also a lovely restored old building. Look forward to returning

All though the food in the restaurant was lovely, it was slightly odd that the main course was just what it said on the menu literally, with no accompanying vegetables, potatoes etc so be aware to order some separately if required
