Advice for six easy days from Sarria to Santiago

Hi,
I know many people will have suggestions for you. I can recommend these places which are not 10 miles apart, but may fit into your plan depending where you decide to stop each day:
Sarria - http://www.casabaran.com/ Nice location, comfortable rooms, great staff.

Just beyond Sarria in Barbadelo there is a nice albergue with good food in a pretty setting. Not sure if they have private rooms. http://www.barbadelo.com/

Ventas - Casa Molar. Very pretty location, good food, nice place to stop and rest. They have a dorm and two very simple private rooms with a shared bath. Very friendly and relaxing place. I did not find a website - we just stopped there in early May without a reservation.

San Xulian - Hostel O Abrigadoiro - Another cozy place in a small village just beyond Palaise de Rei. They have a dorm room, but I think they have private rooms as well. http://abrigadoiro.es.tl/Albergue-O-Abrigadoiro.htm

Just before Pedrouzo Arca - Casa da Fonte - http://adelavidal16.wixsite.com/casadafonte - small village and either they had a great restaurant or it was right next door. We had a very memorable last night on the Camino listening to some very interesting people share their stories.

We stayed in a few othe place between Sarria and Santiago, but I really liked the above accommodations because they were small, cozy, and friendly.
Hope that helps. Buen Camino

I did Sarria to Santiago in 6 days earlier this year, in April. I walked with my daughter, who was heavily jetlagged, so the luxury of private accommodation (I've previously stayed in albergues) was worth it ! And as she had no sleeping bag it meant I didn't have to bring 2 bags with me travelling to Spain.

We started at Barbadelo, and below I list the places we stayed (all private), all approx 20km apart. It all worked out pretty well. The casa rural at Lodoso (which was wonderful!) picked us up in Portos and dropped us back there the next morning. I pre-booked and pre-paid bag transfer with Camino Facil, and there were no issues. I think I booked most if not all of these places using booking.com purely because of the convenience of having all the reservations listed in the app on my phone.
