Sweet Galicia cottage close to the dramatic Ortigueira coast

The cottage was comfortable, peaceful and in good location. Keith and Ruth were also very kind and helpful."

The property was as expected and fully equipped for our stay. The location was peaceful and idyllic but we were still easily accessible to all the surrounding areas of interest and amenities. The hosts, Keith and Ruth were most welcoming and helpful in ensuring we were settled in, and they were on hand if we needed any advice or needs during our stay; a lovely couple."

A pesar de que el entorno y la ubicación son perfectos, el alojamiento no reúne condiciones de uso debido a los siguientes motivos: techos extremadamente bajos, escaleras con mucha pendiente dificultando el acceso a la planta superior, el mobiliario bastante deteriorado, cama de 1,20 muy incómoda, olor a desagüe permanente en el baño y un profundo olor a humedad en toda la casa."

Our stay here was a delightful rest. We parked the car on arrival and used it once to visit a nearby town on an historic visit. The sea and woodland were easy to walk to and the local villages and back road east to find and walk. The cottage is well equipped and in a good position to muse, read, sleep and wind down. Keith and Ruth are kind hearted genuine folk who offer the cottage with the hope of visitors finding rest and fun. They made us feel completely relaxed about asking for help – we felt more like neighbours than customers."

Wonderful little cottage with great surroundings and lovely owners. Thanks to Keith's advice we left the car and explored the stunning coastline with its beautiful beaches by train and foot. We felt totally relaxed after four days and would have loved to stay longer."

Rustic property in a very peaceful location with easy access to the surrounding coast. Wonderful owners who couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful."

This was our first trip to Galicia and what an unexpected gem of a location - totally unspoilt by hordes of tourists, and mainly locals enjoying the beaches and restaurants. Our hosts at the cottage, Keith and Ruth, were the kindest and most helpful you can imagine - not too intrusive, but there if you needed help or advice, or just a chat. The cottage is compact and simply appointed, but perfect in terms of kitchen equipment which is frequently where a lot of holiday properties fail. A good kitchen is important because you'll probably get regular delicious, fresh-from-the-garden treats from Keith and Ruth. While there is not much of a view, the outside area is a nie spot for breakfast or a later quiet beer or wine. There is loads to do just a short drive from the cottage and there is lots of info in the cottage about your options. One thing we did that we'd recommend is a walk along the Rio Sor from Ponte Do Porto to Ponte Ullo (PR-G 212). It is a devil to get to but worth it for a bit of an alternative to a beach day. About half way along the walk there is a fabuolous wild swim area at Ponte Colgante, so take swimming costumes. We had two go-to beaches, Praia do Caolin near Vicedo and the really local Praia da Esteiro - you have to be a bit careful about the currents on the latter but it is fine for paddling or surfing. Note some of the esturine beaches have weaver fish so beach shoes are a must. As for food, there are plenty of local places to eat, but our favourite was a pop-up burger bar, Chiringuito "Entre Cabos", near the Mirado de Coitelo. As it was a pop-up it may not be there next summer, but if it is you must go - simply the best burgers EVER. Another good location for food is Viveiro old town - lots of great sea food and a nice place to look around. We also took a couple of days out to visit the Picos de Europa, which was well worth the drive. All-in-all a great place to stay and a beautiful part of the world to explore. Finally, a big thanks to Keith and Ruth - we hope you and of course Winnie the Wonder dog are well and still watching the skies!"

great location!"

This was an excellent experience. The property was as described and Rustical Travel was fantastic to work with. I appreciated the detailed information provided before the trip. I will definitely look into Rustical Travel for future trips to Spain and hope that you will retain a good selection of smaller, single family, holiday home properties."

We had a lovely peaceful holiday in comfortable accommodation. Keith was a most kind and thoughtful host; we had some beautiful vegetables from his garden and some groceries on arrival which were most welcome. The coastline within walking distance is stunning and we explored each day, either on foot or on the Feve train which was a great way to travel locally. Nothing was too much trouble for Keith; he picked us up one day when the heat got the better of me out walking and gave us a lift into Ortiguerra to visit the market. All in all, a lovely holiday, many thanks."

Fabulous cottage and owners. Third year here and we will be back again. Rustical are very good and easy to deal with. Thank you!"

We recently had a lovely week in this cute cottage in Galicia. The cottage was simple, but had everything we required. Sweet is a good word to describe it. The owners were very friendly and very helpful. The local beaches are amazing! It was great value for money. We all had a great time there and would definitely go back. Everyone in the family enjoyed it!"

This charming cottage is minutes from beautiful beaches. Keith and Ruth made our stay even sweeter letting our boys roam freely in their lovely garden, feed their horses and shared garden produce with us. Relaxing and Restful. Falling asleep to the sound of an owl hooting was a treat."

We had a very relaxing holiday in a very beautiful and peaceful place. The hosts Ruth and Keith were very generous with the produce from their market garden and we had lots of delicious vegetables. When we had a problem with our car they were very helpful in getting us back on the road. We would definitely like to go again."

We had a fantastic time, the cottage was lovely and Keith and Ruth were fantastic hosts. Very kind and thoughtful.The directions to AG30 were invaluable. We absolutely loved Spain and plan to return."

A beautiful cottage in a beautiful spot. Possibly the most comfortable bed and most powerful shower we have had in over twenty years of renting holiday homes, I have never slept so well. The owners were always there if you needed them, were friendly and helpful and provided all sorts of extras, veg from the garden, anti mosquito stuff etc. There is an excellent selection of books so no need to pack piles of holiday reading. The perfect spot for a holiday away from the world."

This is a very lovely house. We enjoyed our stay here very much and our children loved it! The nearby beach is splendid, the nearby town O Barqueiro is charming. and there is lots to do and explore in a beautifull environment. Keith Ruth are very friendly and nice!"

Everything about the holiday was brilliant. Firstly, the directions were good from La Coruna. Then the cottage was perfect when we arrived. Owners Keith and Ruth were very nice. And their dog, Winnie! They gave us veg, eggs fruit and water as soon as we arrived. They were very helpful and were always there if we needed something. The location was perfect for what we wanted, quiet, scenic, great food and the people were very friendly. We would definitely return Thanks Simon"

We found the cottage to be exactly what we hope for and the owners were really helpful and friendly. The information and support from Rustical travel was also excellent. The countryside and beaches around AG30 were beautiful and lived up to the descriptions. We would not hesitate to book with Rustical travel again and would highly recommend the cottage we stayed in. Many thanks."
