There was a lot we liked about our stay here (5 days over New Year). Mary was a friendly and helpful host who met us at the property, made recommendations and also came by during our stay to make sure all was OK. She also provided a large bowl of oranges which were delicious. We loved having late breakfast on the terrace when the sun was on it for a short while. The views of the mountains from there are lovely. We enjoyed the quiet location in a very pretty plaza (which is clearly a tourist attraction in itself). Lanjaron is well located for visiting both the coast and the Alpujarra villages - we explored in our hire car and found the roads good and amazingly little traffic, even on the road to Granada, but maybe that was because of the time of year. Mary pointed us in the direction of a couple of small supermarkets in town, also a very good small indoor market where we loved visiting and bought fish, fruit and veg. If you're thinking of staying at this time of year it's worth noting a couple of things. First of all, mornings and evenings are COLD. Mary had left us a basket of wood for the fire which was MUCH appreciated - we lit the fire every evening and were very grateful for it. The gas heaters were life savers, as were the HOT WATER BOTTLES! Bring slippers and lots of layers! The second thing is at this time of year the big hotels/baths/many bars & restaurants/Tourist Information office are closed, and the tourist leaflets etc at the cottage we found to be either out of date, in Spanish or not really relevant to the winter, so our advice would be to do all your research & map buying before you come, and be prepared to make your own evening entertainment. Although we found the house pretty much as described, there isn't actually a TV in the kitchen/dining area so no facility to watch DVDs. This was a bit disappointing but luckily we enjoy both reading and playing Scrabble. On the plus side the internet connection was very good - so the small and rather old portable CD player could perhaps usefully be ditched in favour of an inexpensive wireless/smart speaker, so guests could listen to the music on their phones? Just an idea. Thank you Mary, and we hope the feedback is helpful. Best wishes from Nick & Robin.
