The location is nicely secluded on the coast of Breiðafjörður and is about a 30-minute drive from Stykkishólmur. Beautiful views over to the islands on the bay. Hiking can be enjoyed in the beaches. The buildings are renovated farmhouses. The project Received deserved Award: Iceland Design Award in 2020. The breakfast was simple and very good
IcelandDranger was very beautiful and is an extremely nice place to stay. Everyone was very nice and helpful and the bed was very comfortable!!! Have the yogurt at breakfast because it's amazing!!
United States of AmericaBeautiful setting on the Icelandic coast. Very peaceful and quiet with gorgeous views. A very good place to stay to explore the Snaefells peninsula. Owners hospitable and helpful when it came to getting the most from our day trips; felt very welcome.
CanadaVery pleasant location, we saw a gorgeous sunset, very clean and very welcoming hostesses
United States of AmericaExtremely clean and well maintained, very nice family, great scenery - A perfect relaxing spot off the beaten path! A highlight of the trip!
United States of AmericaThe bed was extremely comfortable and the entire atmosphere was warm and welcoming. We lucked out and were able to see the Northern Lights when we were there and were even able to see them from the picture window in the kitchen when it got cold. Our host was nice enough to text us that they were visible, which was an amazing touch. Breakfast was delicious and filling and we got great travel advice from our host (as we had just arrived in Iceland). All in all, it was a wonderful first night on our trip and we would highly recommend to anyone!
United States of AmericaGreat place to stay at Snæfellsnes Peninsula. Brand new facilities, excellent breakfast, lovely view with high chance to view aurora lights.
CyprusThis place was our favorite to stay!! The interior was much more than you would expect with beautiful architecture. This place was far from any city so it was great for the northern lights. Amazing views of the islands and mountains. The breakfast spread was delicious!!! A very lovely living room with full kitchen inside for use. Don't let lack of reviews keep you from staying here. Awesome place!!!
United States of AmericaCute guesthouse, beautiful scenery, nice spot to view the northern lights. Also, friendly and knowledgeable hosts and great breakfast. Good spot to see snaefellsnes peninsula from.
United States of AmericaWithout doubt our favourite place we stayed at during our Iceland trip. A remote, family-run guesthouse that feels very modern and luxurious. Drangar would be worth visiting just for the architecture, design and the beautiful surroundings. On top of that the rooms and bath rooms are very comfortable and we really enjoyed preparing food in the very modern shared kitchen. Owners Leana and Knutur were extremely helpful, fast to respond to any questions we had and happy to give suggestions and share their knowledge of the history of the area. Breakfast was also very good, especially the home-made Kryddbrauð (spiced bread). Another highlight was that we were able to see the Northern Lights from the comfort of the kitchen/living room while there was a storm outside. Overall a place we would love to return to and for being Iceland I would consider it to be very good value for money.

Host Info
The new Drangar Country Guesthouse is on a renovated farm, well-situated on the Snaefellsnes peninsula, bordering Dalir, a mere two-hour drive from Reykjavik. We are midway between the beautiful towns of Stykkisholmur and Budardalur, which offer quality restaurants, services and recreational opportunities. The superb accommodation includes a well-equipped common living space with cooking facilities. Currently there are four unique double rooms with private bathrooms. Two of the rooms have kitchenettes. It is also possible for families to rent the whole house and use the sleeping sofa in the common area. In January 2021, Studio Granda architects won the Icelandic Design Award 2020 for their design of Drangar. Drangar is also nominated for the 2022 European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award.
Drangar Country Guesthouse stands near the sea, with a wonderful view of the countless islands of Breidafjordur bay. Drangar Country Guesthouse offers a lovely place to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the Icelandic countryside.
