“I had one of the best stays at Little Agave! The hosts were exceptional and made us feel truly welcome from the moment we arrived. Ben and Neil are incredibly kind and friendly people who really go the extra mile for their guests. Our room was spotless—clean, cozy, and very comfortable. The swimming pool was such a lovely bonus, and the delicious breakfast each morning was the perfect finishing touch. We’ll definitely be coming back to visit our “new friends”!”

“Little Agave is an absolute gem. Ben and Neil are wonderful and generous hosts, who superb local knowledge. Each room has a private aspect and is well put together. Most of the places you will want to visit are under 30 minutes by car. Good local restaurants, great beaches and the amazing national park. Looking forward to our next visit! Ian and Mel”

“We loved this place. The attention to detail at the property and in the rooms is second to none. The views are fabulous. The hosts Ben and Neil have thought of everything - and it's clear they take great pride in making sure their guests have everything they need. Amazing location. Stunning tranquil desert setting. Charming town down the road. Loads of interesting nearby sites to visit - like film sets, gold mines, caves, walking trails - lovely beaches. Would recommend it to anyone! Thanks for having us!”

“It does not happen a lot that we visit an B&B and we say: we want to come back again and they run it the same as we would do. With Little Agave this is most definite the case!! Two very friendly hosts run this place with passion and they know what they are doing. They have a big eye for very small details, something you do not often see. And do not forget Peggy the cat and Beetle the dog, they make your visit worth while!”

“While looking for a place to stay, we came across the casa rural “Little Agave,” run by Neil and Ben and their furry daughters Beatle and Peggy. Little Agave turned out to be the perfect base for day trips in the Cabo de Gata area. Their concept is well thought out, and we spent four days surrounded by luxury and stunning views. The varied breakfast also deserves a special mention. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to explore this part of Andalusia. We would gladly come back again. Thank you, Ben and Neil!”

“We stayed at Little Agave in early June and had a wonderful time. It is the perfect place either as a peaceful retreat from everyday life or as a base from which to explore the stunning coastline, beaches and beautiful towns and villages of the Cabo de Gata region. Ben and Neil are exceptional hosts – friendly, welcoming and attentive, whilst never being intrusive. Their knowledge of the local area is invaluable, and their recommendations for beaches, bars, tapas restaurants and places to visit were excellent throughout our stay. Breakfast each morning was a delight – beautifully prepared, thoughtfully presented and tailored to suit our plans for the day. It was the perfect way to start every morning. The accommodation, interiors and landscaping are outstanding. Ben and Neil have created something truly special, with a wonderful eye for design and detail. Everywhere you look there is something interesting, thoughtful or beautiful, yet it all feels completely in keeping with the character of the property and its surroundings. We were also lucky enough to see some local wildlife, but perhaps the stars of the show were Peggy, the resident smoky-grey cat, and Beetle, the friendly rescue dog. Watching Peggy keep a watchful eye out for geckos while Beetle carried out her daily garden and pool patrols became part of the charm of staying there. As we drove away, we found ourselves wondering how our days would feel without them. Little Agave is a genuinely special place and somewhere we would love to return to. Thank you, Ben and Neil, for your hospitality and for making our stay so memorable.”
