We stayed one night in two cottages while exploring the southern part of the country. The cottages are small, but very nice and comfortable, with all the amenities you need for a short stay. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. It’s a short drive off the main highway and easy to find.
We very much enjoyed the setting and the overall experience. It’s definitely a place we would stay again.
We stayed 4 nights in a cosy cottage and enjoyed every second. Hosts are very welcoming and friendly. Lovely breakfast with fresh pancakes, eggs & much more. Don't miss out on the hot tub, it's awesome! Only small critique points are the shower (which was clean and okay but not much pressure and not very warm) and the lights (some flickering and not usable), but everything else makes more than up for it! Thank you so much, we'd love to come back another time!
Clean, unappealing furniture, no local charm. Room 3 had no Wi-Fi, we had to go to the lobby to get a signal. I was told connection works mainly in lobby/restaurant. Not great when you need to check with home or work. Also, no view from room, a wall and yard. I spotted horses from restaurant window.
An email the day before arrival offering pre-order full meal for 7000 ISK per person ($48). In my confirmation email, pre-order dinner was listed as €40/$38. Not sure why the price difference so we declined. (see photo)
Breakfast was good except there is a set staff table near the buffet where they sit and talk during breakfast. Kind of a weird feeling being watched. Maybe if you only need a place to sleep, this works. I hear the cabins are nice. There were too many discomforts for us.
First of all, the location is spot on as the major golden circle attractions and big towns for gas/grocery are within reach by a car. The cabins are at elevation, this gives unobstructed view of the surroundings, they are away from city lights. We saw spectacular display of northern lights both nights we stayed in (even through the windows of the cottage if you don't want to step out in the cold at night)
We stayed in a two bedroom cabin with private bathroom. It has a small but functioning kitchen with electric stove top, microwave, a small refrigerator, cooking and dining utensils. The cabin is very cozy and has a feel good vibe
Although we didn't do a horse riding tour, the horses are very impressive and add to the character of the place
The Wi-fi on the other hand had a very poor strength to the point that it almost was non-existent. We had a hot spot with us so it wasn't a problem but if you rely on the in-house Wi-Fi then you will be sorry
The breakfast was not included in the price, and I felt that it could have been better for the price we paid to have breakfast
But I think that all other facilities and our overall pleasant stay made up for the downsides of wi-fi/breakfast
We spent one night here during our trip to Iceland and wished we had stayed more. The whole place was so warm and cozy, from the impeccable decor, big bright windows, adorable horses, and beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The cabin we stayed in was perfect for our family and had a kitchenette and a pack-n-play for our toddler. (He loved the Winnie the Pooh bedding!!) Breakfast the next morning was delicious. I would recommend this to anyone and hope to return someday!
