This excellent country hotel, set in a former textile mill, has duplex-style doubles and family rooms rich in stone walls, dark woods, earthy colours and rustic decor. It's all very comfy and welcoming, there's a decent on-site restaurant and the owners have plenty of information on activities in the Sierra de Gata.
