- Qué tiene: 15 double rooms · Next to the park · Rooms with balcony or attic

Inn with 15 double rooms in the village of Cabárceno, beside the park's east entrance. Closed until late February; bookings from mid-January.

Sleeping beside the animals
The inn is at calle La Corraliza 17, in the village of Cabárceno, next to the park's east entrance and station 1 of the gondola. It is a way to get in first thing without driving from Santander, which is 24 km away, about 26 minutes by car according to the inn itself. It is a two-storey country house, with an interior wooden gallery and a mountain-style staircase linking the two floors, exposed beams and two skylights that light the interior.
The rooms
There are 15 doubles, of about 15 m², with a double bed or two beds, in two types:

Double with balcony: eight rooms, simple, with a wooden balcony.
Attic double: seven, on the top floor, with a sloping wooden ceiling.

All have a full bathroom with hairdryer, towels and bed linen, television, wifi and background music, and are non-smoking. The inn itself warns that they are not very large, although it describes them as cosy. According to the rooms page, breakfast is included in the rate. It does not publish prices: ask through its booking engine or by phone.
The house and breakfast
Downstairs there is a large, bright lounge with glass doors to the garden, split into two areas: one for children, with tables, chairs, a blackboard and toys, and another for adults. In summer a 90 m² terrace surrounded by greenery is used for drinks, with a view of the children's area. The grounds have 3,000 m² of garden with fruit trees to play and stroll among.
Breakfast is what the house stands out for: Iberian cured meats, Spanish and regional cheeses, tomato with olive oil, several breads, fresh fruit, freshly squeezed orange juice and home-made sweets.
Who it is for
For families who want to spend a whole day at Cabárceno without an early start from Santander: you enter the park by the village entrance and return to the inn in mid-afternoon so the children can play in the garden. Also as a base for getting around Cantabria: the inn places the Puente Viesgo caves 20 km away, Santillana del Mar 34 km and Santoña 37 km.

It closes in winter: until late February 2027, with no exact opening date, and it opens bookings for the new season in mid-January. Phones: 942 517 606 and 689 840 216, also on WhatsApp, and recepcion@posadacabarceno.com.
