Guest comments
It's been a great holiday in a beautiful part of the world - spectacular mountains against grand sweeping beaches. The apartment is very comfortable. We have made great use of the body-boards & beach bats, & it has been great to have a garden. La Hayuela is a lovely village. Helen, Simon, Fran, Luke & Joel July2010
We had a fantastic family holiday in this modern and quiet apartment. The beaches nearby offered variety with large white sandy beaches and surfing or quiet sandy coves with caves to explore. The Picos mountains were a stunning contrast with great walks and thankfully a cable car (so said the kids). Viva Espana." Rene & Helen July10
The apartment is lovely, clean, tidy, comfortably furnished & all "mod cons". Your info & advise is/has been fantastically helpful & great detail on all aspects - many thanks. Beautiful views in every direction, lovely fresh air & peace. This really is a stunningly beautiful area. Ashley, Geoff & children Aug 2010
House swap
House swap considered except for the period mid July to end August. Europe, UK, or maybe even further afield considered.

About the owner
We are a couple from Derbyshire, with two adult and independent children with their own families. The apartment at La Hayuela realises a long held dream of having a holiday home. We are not a business, just an ordinary family lucky enough to have a holiday home in Cantabria.
Year purchased: 2007
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
We fell in love with "Green Spain" some years ago prior to the arrival of budget airlines, when holidaying via ferry from Plymouth. The grandeur of the scenery, the magnificence of the Picos de Europa, and the "Spanishness" always remained in our memories, and it has not changed. The apartment, on the edge of the rural village of La Hayuela, is perfectly situated for magnificent beaches & is just an hour from the picturesque town of Potes and the drama of the Picos de Europa. No discos or nightclubs here, just two "local" bars, a pharmacy and the sound of cow-bells, or cattle and/or horses being driven along the village lane to the fields. Just 30 mins from Santander airport and ferry port, & less than 2 hour from Oviedo Asturias airport.
Unique benefits of the property
A ground floor apartment with large fully enclosed garden, looking out towards the village bar - near enough to watch village life from the terrace, but far enough away not to be a bother. The town of Cabezon is 5 mins, Comillas & it's beach 10 mins, and the beaches of La Oyambre and San Vicente 20 minutes - all excellent for surfing. There are also many walking possibilities, some right from the door and ranging from 10 mins to, well as long as you want. The apartment is cosy, comfortable and with all the necessary amenities. There is nothing nicer after a busy day on the beach, walking and/or sightseeing than relaxed dining on the terrace, a bottle of Rioja and the feeling of being rather happy with life. We are always very reluctant to leave.
