We had a fantastic stay, everything was perfect! The hosts are very friendly and the leaflet in our bedroom was super informative (really helped us planned what to do during the day).The property felt like home (we were in a room in the main building, no one was wearing shoes inside). Everything was tidy and clean. The beds were extremely comfy and the shampoo/shower gel were amazing (organic and smelt wonderful, we bought the brand at the airport). Everything is geothermal heated, include the tub outside (we got lucky enough to have a visit from the horses)! We 100% recommend this place and will be back.

Staff was excellent and both dinnet and preakfast very good

Cozy, spacious cottage with everything you need - even a large couch! Staff is very friendly. Main building is a mix between restaurant and living room. Hot tub with view on horse pasture. Horses roaming on large pastures all around. Spontanously booked riding tour in the stable next door.

Amazing and cozy cabin near to Selfoss. Everything you need was provided along with a well equipped kitchen. We enjoyed our stay there very much and the Hottub behind the main house was an amazing end to awesome days.

Location is offsite, lovely views from the main building and from the cottages. Nice staff!

Everything! From the amazing views to the exceptionally delicious breakfast - we were very happy with our stay. We were even able to view the northern lights. The location was very peaceful yet convenient on our travels. Unfortunately, we didn't get to take advantage of the hot tub.

Lovely friendly managers. We had an evening meal which was home cooked and delicious. Breakfast was pretty good too. The room was fine and the beds were very comfortable. We made use of the hot tub after dinner which was a nice treat. Location on horse farm was very peaceful and quiet and ideal for us as a stopover between Reykjavik and Skaftafell.

We stayed for 1 night as a family of 5 (kids are 7, 4 and 2). Cottage was really clean, beds were comfy and the 11 o'clock check out gave us time to relax in the morning instead of rushing off. Enjoyed a private use of the shared hot tub in the evening. Really enjoyed our time here.

our house was very nice and cozy, nice small kitchen and bathroom, everything you would need! there are also hot tubs available for guests and right next to the houses are horses you can go and pet if you like! i would definetly recommend this over a stay in the hotel.

beautiful property. lovely and incredibly week maintained
