This place is situated in a peaceful and idyllic mountain setting with cozy and spacious rooms featuring down pillows.

comfortable room, mountain views.

The location close to city centre was great. The staff and the host were all lovely. Guest room was well-equipped and cosy had feather pillows.

Loved every aspect of my 3-night stay here. the suite was great with a comfy sofa bed, central heating, and a TV. 🌟.

100% recommend this place and would want to stay there again. Variety of food for breakfast, it was outstanding. The very nice staff provided me a really lovely 2 nights stay. Location: the hotel was really close to Bilbao, Casa Zalama and the stunning surrounding area. It also was in Graham's surrealist garden...

Entirely satisfied.

The small hotel had a mountain view, the room was tidy and equipped with necessary amenities such as a shower, hairdryer, and bidet.

This place has a perfect and amazing location, right next to Casa Zalama and a stunning surrounding area, just 3 km from the Grand Mosque.

The warm hospitality provided by Mari Cruz and Graeme made our time here truly memorable. The charming country cottage, with its beautifully restored rooms, offered a comfortable stay for our large family. The homemade dinners were exceptional, with three-course offerings and an excellent selection of reasonably priced wines. The kids loved spending time in Graeme's garden and exploring Mari Cruz's textile workshop. The homemade breakfast with fresh fruit and delicious jams was the perfect start to our days. The value for money was exceptional, and we couldn't have asked for a better family-friendly experience.

For dads, it would be great to have a designated play area for children.

Always coming back. Staff helped with parking on my first stay. It has everything I need: Wi-Fi, free parking, hiking, cycling, horseback riding, cots. See you this weekend.

our recent stay at a rustic gem in San Pelayo exceeded expectations. The delightful hosts, charming decor, and scrumptious meals made us feel truly welcome. The serene countryside setting and comfortable beds added to the enjoyment. A wonderful group trip indeed.

No full-length mirror for post-feast self-reflection.

From the moment we arrived, Mari Cruz and Graham made us feel right at home. The beautifully restored old home exudes warmth and character, with comfortable and well-equipped rooms for our large family. We enjoyed delicious meals made with fresh local ingredients, creating unforgettable dining experiences. The highlight for our children was exploring the unique garden, a perfect place to unwind and enjoy a good book. Highly recommended for families looking for a memorable stay in a charming setting.

For dads, the addition of a small playground would be great.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Rural Zalama and it was absolutely amazing. From the moment we arrived, Mari Cruz and Graham made us feel at home in their beautifully restored old house. the rooms were comfortable and well equipped, and the unique atmosphere created by our hosts added to the charm. the meals were delicious, and we highly recommend trying their outstanding and beautifully cooked evening meals. It was the perfect base for exploring the stunning surroundings and we can't wait to return. Cons: Cannot find any fault. 😊.

Plus, each room is equipped with a private bathroom, so you don't have to share with anyone.

Personally, I'm not a fan of the heating system in the rooms. But hey, some people might actually enjoy it, so it's just my own preference.

If you're looking for unexpected pampering in a dreamy corner of Northern Spain, head to Zalama. Marie-Cruz delights your palate with surprise dishes, while Graham's surrealist garden invites relaxation. The hotel creates a magical world with beautiful antique furniture, unique artwork, crackling fires, and floral bowers. Exceptional food, delicious wine, friendly staff, and clean rooms make for a comfortable stay. Highly recommended.

Would recommend this hotel.

The rooms at Hotel Rural Zalama are absolutely charming! The rustic decor with wooden floors and beams creates a cozy atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The spacious suite had a comfortable king size bed and a separate seating area where we could relax and unwind after a long day of exploring. Plus, the private bathroom with free toiletries was a nice touch.

Personally, I found the heating to be a bit too warm for my liking. But hey, that's just my personal preference and I'm sure others might enjoy the cozy warmth.
