The sign on the property says "Hostal Rural" and that captures the feel of the place. The village of Espinal (Spanish name)/Aurizberri (Basque name) is only 10 minutes' walk from one end to the other and it is on one of the paths to El Camino de Santiago de Compostela. So, there are many places for pelligrinos (pilgrims) making the journey to stay and it is surrounded by rural fields. There is a pub/restaurant downstairs that is well attended by locals and travellers alike, serving good, plentiful, traditional food and drink. The rooms are not modern, but clean, well enough equipped and comfortable. The staff are very helpful but my woeful Spanish (and non-existent Basque) made communication slightly difficult at times. I only stayed one night and by myself, so I didn't get "the full experience". Anyway, it was great for me and I recommend it.
