JUST GREAT

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 31 Aug 2024via mobile
BEST RESTAURANT THIS TRIP!! We had an amazing meal at the restaurant. The service could be better than incredible in so many different ways. Great fish meat and appetizers. we actually got here twice in the rain and they lent us a hairdryer to get dry before dinner. Great service. The food was excellent, and the trout was beyond belief

    The Skalakot was our favorite stay during our Iceland travels. The manor is beautiful and we loved the food. We did a horseback riding tour during our stay and went to the spa - both were great! Shout out to Yietti who did our horseback tour and was wonderful! All of the staff at the hotel was very friendly, too. Our room was on the first floor, I would have preferred to be upstairs but no big deal, it was still a lovely room.

    Horseback riding and lunch at Skalakot Manor turned into a lasting Icelandic memory. Skalakot was a last-minute itinerary addition due to weather conditions which cancelled scheduled horseback riding on the beach. The staff were very helpful, friendly and made horseback riding for our daughter a delight. They visited a local waterfall and quaint hamlet.

    Meanwhile my wife and I enjoyed coffee and soup in the restaurant with beautiful views and excellent service. We wished we were able to stay overnight. Highly recommend it!

    Beautifully set under the mountains and very close driving distance to some major viewing sites. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Had a nice supper here, and many guests were taking advantage of the sauna/hot tub in the evening (note: not included, must pay extra). The breakfast that was included with our stay was fantastic, nice assortment of cheeses, breads, fruits and even smoked salmon. Would highly recommend this as a stopping place for 1-2 nights. Our time here was short but well enjoyed.

    Room tip: Lots of parking available, there is a lift for luggage but primary access to rooms on upper floor is via stairs.

    The hotel is amazingly located and the people working there are the best ever. However, they accept groups and that is a BIG problem. We were there when a group of 17 girls was there and nothing worked properly. Restaurant reservations and everything was an issue. If they stop accepting groups I will give this place as many stars as possible.

    Room tip: Call and avoid reserving when big groups are there.

    Well located for exploring the south coast, Skálakot Manor hotel is a laid back, quirky and quaint horse farm stay with friendly staff. (I’d characterize it as more of an “inn” than a traditional hotel.) If you’re active and enjoy hiking, ask for ideas from the front desk. They directed us to a beautiful one hour hike (up) to a waterfall in the canyon behind the nearby “tractor museum.”
