“A brilliant place in a brilliant country!”
Brilliant little cabin in a very easy to reach location just off Route 1 yet somehow feels very remote and private. The cabin is brilliant inside and out. The bathroom is perhaps a little outdated but this is a cabin near some trees, not a city hotel so it fits with the vibe. Lots of little bits inside to help with your stay. We were disappointed that the only TV there was PPV channels but this was actually a blessing as it meant we spent time doing things other than watching TV which was much better! The owners are brilliant and very responsive and helpful. The photos attached were taken at the cabin on my iPhone on standard settings and have not been edited/enhanced in any way so yes, it’s a good place to see the Northern Lights without having to travel which is nice!

The cabin had all the facilities we needed for the short stay. Hot tub was lovely, although we couldn't seem to get it quite hot enough.

“A Quiet Location.”
A clean and comfortable stay in a fabulous location. The scenery is amazing and the proximity to route 1 means that visiting places such as pingvellir is easy. The hot tub is wonderful. The area is so private and quiet that we slept better here than we have in years!

We had a wonderful time at this cottage. We even spotted the Northen lights every night, just outside the cottage. Everything we needed was present in the house.

“Perfect country cottage”
Location was lovely. Hot tub (filled from thermal springs) was divine. It was cosy and comfortable and had everything we needed. Perfect to return to after a day out exploring and it meant we could cook at home.

“Condensed Iceland trip with homely evenings in the cottage”
Lovely cabin, sufficiently distant from the city to enjoy being in a quiet and peaceful place, but close enough to conveniently drive there (not very far from main road but we couldn't hear or see it from the cabin) and drive to get groceries. It's very well equipped, everything you need is already there. It's also decorated in a very homely manner which makes you feel very at home there, doesn't seem like a rental place. Worked great for us as a starting base for driving around the island while the sun was up and get back to enjoy the hot tub or look for northern lights in the evening.
