We were here in February, 2020 with my wife. Romantic atmosphere, thermal pool outside, far from people, roads, etc. Feeling nature. Responsive on requests. Instructed us beforehand about check in process outside of working hours, it was quite easy to follow. Free parking near cottage. Light could be made lighter/darker, a lot of small candles +on-demand. Useful kitchen. Was easy to fry meet, prepare salads and boil meet and sausages. Great bathroom. Large bed - excellent night. Very warm. Wi-Fi + TV + Hi-Fi (music). Horse-styled theme. Nice view from the window and outside. Fast check out, pleasant personnel
UkraineThe kitchen was a great space with lots of room to cook.
United States of AmericaThe attention to detail was excellent. They have an onsite hot spot (tub) in the center of all the units. There were robes and sandals in the cottage so you could get out to the hot spot. The kitchenette was well equipped and cooking dinner was easy. Lots of room in the cottage.
United States of AmericaComfortable with room to relax and spread out; well stocked with necessities; private; LOVED the hot pot!; beautiful location; very nicely appointed cottage. HIGHLY recommend!
United States of AmericaThe size of the room. The convenience of refrigerator and coffee maker with all supplies. The hot pot sheltered from the wind.
United States of AmericaThe cottage itself is quite spacious There is a hot thermal pool in between the cottages The views around are great Clean rooms
IsraelThe cabin outside of town in the country side was perfect. It was perfectly equipped for us. We used the grill on the deck to cook hotdogs one night. The geothermal hot tub provided a relaxing evening after a long day of activities. A boat trip to Dranghey Island with a climb to the top to view Puffins in the wild was a highlight which was suggest by and booked for us through Hettasport. You simply could not find a better place to stay when in this area of Iceland.
United States of AmericaAbsolutelly perfect! Natural hot tube to enjoy. The host organises also horse ridding but we did not have time for that. The houses are very nice and functional. We will come again.
SloveniaFriendly hosts and very clean tidy and beautiful cottage
United States of AmericaVery comfortable with plenty of room and great views. Our cabin was set apart from the others (and away from the hot pot) but the hosts left robes and slippers so we could walk over to the hot pot. I would like to spend more time here.

With magnificent views overlooking the vast plains and distant mountains of the Skagafjörður valley, our seven charming timber cottages are the ideal place to spend your days off all year round. From the hot tub at the centre of the well-maintained cottage site, you can enjoy the golden light of the midnight sun or watch the northern lights.
I enjoy going for long rides through our beautiful valley or up to the mountains to gather the sheep in fall. I grew up in this area and would love to give you some inside information about the nicest spots around here.
Skagafjörður offer different activities, either for outdoor persons who wants to experience the famous "tölt" of the Icelandic horses and go rafting on glacial rivers, or for people who prefers to lay in some wild hot-springs for hours. Our cottages are nestled together up on the hill only a short walking distance from the centre of Varmahlíð. In town, you will find all the services you need: tourist information, grocery shop, restaurant, petrol station, bank, hotel, swimming pool, and more.
