Pensión El Carloto

Family reunion Our second time here, but this time with family and we all loved it.

Lakeside stopover on route to ferry. This was a convenient functional stop for a Bilbao ferry the next morning. (Approx 2hrs) The guesthouse adjacent to the bar/cafe was warm and clean, well kept no-frills accommodation and served the purpose. There’s an ample parking area next to the bar & guesthouse when you turn off the main road, although it is not private. A first floor seating area in the guesthouse with a tv / pellet heater gives nice views over the lake but as weather was lovely we just sat outside the bar to see the sunset. The bar food offering comprises meat / cheese platters and some other tapas (anchovies, asparagus , mussels were also listed) and is available until 10pm but for a full meal there are some other restaurants around the lakeside area. Breakfast drinks/ pastries were available in the bar as we departed but we didn’t have time to try it.

Fantastic view, good value, moderate service. There's an amazing view from the room and from the shared sun room, which was well heated for our Feb visit. It's very good value as well. Minor quibble is the service - key just handed to me wordlessly, and on leaving I just left the key on bar when I couldn't attract any attention. Also bear in mind that there's no breakfast and the evening food is cold meats / cheese & bread. May be different in season.

Lake view Amazing room overlooking the lake. Fantastic location all the staff were really friendly and helpful.
