    The place was very clean and interacting with the other guests was nice. Best part was the hot tub, sitting out under the stars and seeing the northern lights.

    We had the family room with bunkbeds and the queen bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was self serve and you had your choice of eggs, cold cuts, cheese, yoghurt, fruit, coffee and juices.

    Good location when doing the ring road. The communication with the host was great. The kitchen was well supplied, and everything was clean.

    Having the hot tub with the natural hot spring water was the seller. I loved soaking in at the end of the day. The fridge was well-stocked. The place was worth it.

The family at Syðra-Skörðugil have a long history of living and farming on our land. We are sheep and horse farmers. We are a family of 5. Me , my husband and three daughters.
Syðra-Skörðugil is very well located in the heart of Skagafjörður. From here there are only 5 km to Varmahlíð which is the nearest village. There you can find a swimming pool, camping area, gas station, food and etc. In the area there are all kinds of activities and on the farm we have a horse rental for those who are interested in riding.
