We had a lovely time staying at Maitagarria House, the pool was fantastic and a beautiful temperature, there were even loads of pool toys available for the children. The garden is spacious and there is always dappled shade somewhere to sit under, and even two choices of outdoor dining furniture. There is a fantastic outdoor cooking area too, and there was even BBQ charcoal and firelighters provided. It is a very comfortable house where you can spread out. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you could need. Marie also left us a lovely welcome pack of goodies and even left things like washing up liquid and toiletries. The area is beautiful, so many pretty villages, and loads to do. It doesn't seem to take long to get anywhere, you can be at the beach in 15 mins or in the mountains in 30 mins, so something for everyone. TOP TIP #1 - If you are coming from Santander or Bilbao (by Ferry) and arrive on a Sunday, be aware that a lot of the larger supermarkets are shut, we found two at this location that are open Sundays Bo. el Callejo, 6, 6A, 39770 Laredo, Cantabria, Spain, TOP TIP #2 - You can no longer take products of animal origin or plants and plant products into the EU (certain exemptions to this rule for quantities of powdered infant milk, infant food, confectionary, specialised foods and pet feed) BUT you are allowed to bring food back for your own use, so you can still buy all those delicious Basque products! Thank you so much for a lovely week!
