Hemos venido para explorar el país vasco. El caserío está bien situado para conducir a lugares como Bilbao, Getaria, Donosti, Vitoria y Francia. La cocina es bien equipada y estámos disfrutando el salón para cenar y relajarnos por las noches. Las camas son muy cómodas. El decór es muy elegante y todo está muy limpio. Quedamos con el dueño en Mutriku y nos trajo al caserío así por eso no tuvimos ningún problema encontrarlo. ¡Tenenos ganas para regresar!

We heard cowbells and a variety of songbirds all day long. We were greeted by a friendly well behaved little dog. The house was very clean and incredibly spacious. We so enjoyed being there we ended up touring less than we had planned. Our French family said it was the true Basque countryside of times past. It was a dream vacation we will always remember. Eneko from the very start was welcoming and so helpful, a joyful person. Muchísimos gracias por todo, Susan

We had a warm welcome from Eneko, the owner, when we arrived at the Mote house. It is in a peaceful rural location overlooking the village of Mutriku. I would recommend asking the owner for detailed directions as Google maps is not accurate for the location. The house itself is very large and open plan. Personally, I thought it could have been cleaner in parts. A cot and high chair are available but young children will need to be closely supervised as there is a sheer drop off the stairs, and similarly there is a drop at the edge of the garden. There are two twin rooms and a double so perhaps it could sleep 6? Some of the bed linen is quite old. The kids loved the toys left in the toy room/study. The kitchen is OK (and has a nespresso machine) but is not the most welcoming place to eat - if the weather permits, far better to eat outside in the small garden, listening to the cowbells clunking and catching glimpses of the sea between the lush hills. The area is nice, Mutriku is a small and pretty village with cobbled streets and winding hills. Driving to to Bilbao and San Sebastian for day trips will take less than an hour. We also really liked the seaside towns of Leteikio and Getaria - worth a visit for the old streets and sandy beaches.

We selected this location in which to celebrate our Golden Wedding. The MOTE cottage proved to be the right choice in every respect! The location is quite superb with mountain, countryside and sea views. The house is well appointed and the owner,Eneko is extremely helpful in all respects; both before and during your stay. Locally and within easy reach are both quiet and peaceful seaside village and major conurbations such as Guernika, San Sebastian and Bilbao. We would recommend this property to anyone without any hesitation. Wonderful!!!

The Basque Country is probably not a main tourist destination which is good because the place is absolutely unspoilt and stunning. The only way to describe the area, not being disrespectful is "Switzerland by the Sea". There are mountains, forests, rivers, countryside, livestock with bells, solid Basque farmsteads , beautiful villages, markets, towns and cities that are architecturally stunning, everywhere is clean and tidy, fabulous beaches, temperature mid to late 20s, food and drink is the best in the world and lastly the people are friendly/helpful and unique. Getting there was also a wonderful experience by Brittany Ferries from Portsmouth to Santander, a very enjoyable 24 hours onboard the ferry. Driving on the right was ok as the roads, motorway, and the fellow drivers are good. Toll roads are fairly inexpensive and are a good way to get around for longer journeys. Be prepared to learn some Basque language, it will be appreciated.

We found Mote Cottage very clean, spacious and well equipped. Children enjoyed the small garden. Would love to come back and would definitely recommend.

We were very pleased with the prompt, helpful and gracious service provided by the Mote owner, Eneko. The location of this spacious cottage is ideal for travellers looking to get away from town, or wanting accommodations that make you feel "at home" (i.e. amenities, ample space for family or large group - including 3 fully equipped bathrooms, no hassle parking etc.). While the cottage itself is absolutely lovely, its location is incredible. The Mote is set high above the coastal town of Mutriku, which can be admired from the property. The views are absolutely stunning. the mote is conveniently located for exploring the coast. Excellent access to biking, hiking and cultural appreciation. It does take some "effort" to get to this piece of paradise, but Eneko made sure we could find the location, and even planned to meet us there. However, our flight was delayed and we arrived very late, so he had to leave. Despite this, we were greeted with a personal welcome note, including more information and Eneko's offer to provide us with any other assistance we needed. One of the highlights of our 3-week vacation to Europe was our wonderful time spent at the Mote and in beautiful Basque country.

Un rincón del País Vasco en el que perderse y aislarse entre auténticos caseríos. En lo alto de Mutriku, rodeados de montañas y viendo asomar el mar entre ellas. Todo es una postal. Eneko tiene explicaciones y ayuda para todo. La casa, enorme, práctica, llena de detalles que la hacen cómoda. Decorada con mucho gusto, sin pretensiones ni complicaciones, preciosa, muy agradable. Perfecta para ir con niños tanto dentro como fuera disfrutarán de montones de juegos que la casa ofrece (pero espero que ponga la valla que decía en la zona del jardín). La aventura diaria para llegar por una estrecha carretera merece la pena. Llegar al final del día, poner música (también encontrarás un gran oferta), salir al jardín y ver a las ovejas recogerse esperando la puesta del sol, ha sido una gran satisfacción cada uno de los días que hemos pasado allí. Sólo hacer un apunte más, a parte del de la valla, No hay persianas ni contraventanas en la habitación principal ¡¡qué pronto amanece!! ;D

We had an amazing time !!!! Thank you so much, beautiful house with everytjing you need in it. Great size bedrooms , few bathrooms, amazing garden and location of the property. I would strongly recomend it !!! Great value for money :-D
