    The old house feels like a true home after you arrive. You have everything you need plus some fresh milk from the farm. We arrive late and had an amazing view.

    Beautiful space to walk around. Host generously allowed use of an outdoor hotpot near their home. Saw the northern lights! A cozy house, made even cozier by the fact that we cooked our own dinner there.

    Of the 4 places we stayed in Iceland, This was the best one. It is a great old farmhouse with tons of charm. History of the house was available to read as well. The view is amazing, on a cliff looking over the water. The downstairs was comfortable...

Get close to nature at Bessastaðir. Cozy old house with warm character, big garden, many bird species around. The view is magnificent all year round, amazing sunset and sunrise. The house is close to the sea and it is very nice to take walk to there and listen to the mysterious sound of the sea and seabirds. You have full access to 500 square meter garden, you are also free to take walk around our land, as long as you are not walking on our hay fields. The house was built 1937 and completely renewed 1984, it was again renewed the year 2016. The house has two stair's. One short leads you to the kitchen, dining room and bedroom, the other leads you downstairs to two bedrooms and living room with tv and sofas. On the ground floor is entrance, small hallway and bathroom. We want you to be careful around our animals and the wild animals, so they can live their normal life. We are training horses so when you see us on horseback or rounding the horses, please give us our space, specially when you are driving.
