The best thing is the hot tub, which can be used until 10 pm. It's a shared hot tub though, but we had it in front of our room, which was nice. The rooms are big, breakfast is really good and varied, and the staff is super friendly.

Miriam Germany

Cool experience staying at a horse farm and doing one of the horse tours. The facility was very clean and the staff very helpful. Very close to a Viking restaurant as well. Great breakfast!

Christina United States of America

Room was bigger than expected. Very clean, breakfast was great. Good spot to start golden circle trip after coming back from the south coast. Wish we could have spent some time with the horses they had there. Would definitely stay again!

Rachel United States of America

The breakfast was amazing. It was well worth the price.

Aurelija Lithuania

Great location right by a town with great things to do

Elena United States of America

The staff were friendly, the breakfast was delicious, very clean, nice hot tubs, the horses

Nmh United States of America

We loved the property, seeing all of the horses. It was fun for the kids to see. The breakfast is the morning was great. The rooms weren’t anything f special in the guest house, but exactly what we expected and paid for. The hotel portion looked like it was nicer.

Alexander United States of America

The breakfast was simple. The rooms were comfortable and the staff was great

Aysen United States of America

Very big room with a beautiful view. Comfortable single beds so we didn’t have to share. Excellent free breakfast. Free hot chocolate/coffee in the lobby. The receptionist was very nice and helpful — she gave us a great map and recommendations for places to stop. Close to Reykjavík.

Elc United States of America

The breakfast was very good and the staff was friendly and supportive.

  • Are the horses close to the main bit of the hotel (in case of allergy to horsehair ?)

    Hello, the horses are not located closed to the main part of the hotel. However, people who are on riding tours do stay in the hotel, but they keep all their riding clothes in a special changing room in our basement and we´ve never had a complaint about allergies or smell. Hope this helps.
