El Jardin de Carrejo

A small country hotel near Santander

---

Located in the tiny village of Carrejo close to Cabezón de la Sal, only a few kilometres from the coast, this ten-room hotel boasts more than seven acres of pristine gardens. There are pools, a river, bridges, paths, lawns for sunbathing or just relaxing with a good book, a playground for children, a small area for golf practice, a kitchen garden, an orchard and a multitude of mature trees such as cedar, oak and willow.

The hotel was built originally in 1881 when it served as a barn and stables. Outside is traditional stone, blending comfortably into its environment, but today the interior is fresh and modern with simple lines and generous use of natural materials for the floors and furnishings. All this reflects in the service too, which is warm and friendly.

There are 8 double bedrooms, 2 junior suites and 2 garden suites, all decorated individually but with the same care and attention throughout. All the modern facilities you could expect are there; en-suite bathroom, telephone, television, minibar, DVD and internet. Eating facilities in the Jardín de Carrejo are limited, but the owner will recommend local restaurants and arrange the bookings for you. There are ample places to sit and relax; inside in the lounge, outside on the verandah or just anywhere you like in the garden.

A collection of contemporary Spanish photographs by well-known photographers is hung throughout the hotel.

Restaurant:

There is no restaurant as such, but light meals are available in the evening. English or Continental breakfasts are served either in the dining room or in your bedroom or suite. The hotel will suggest local restaurants for you, and make bookings if you want.

What We Say:

This hotel is only 25 miles from Santander so it is an ideal first or last stop if you take your car over on the ferry. Don't be tempted to just rush through though. Enjoy the lovely gardens of the hotel and take a look at some of the local sights. We loved Santillana del Mar, a picturesque little village of old stone and timber houses. It's all pedestrianised apart from the vehicles of a few locals who still live (and farm!) in the old village. We would also have liked to see the cave paintings in Cuevas de Altamira but visitor numbers are restricted for preservation reasons, so you have to book months in advance. The rest of the cave is open as normal though.
