“A cosy cottage”
A cost and beautifully situated cottage. We were comfortable and the self catering facilities were very good. Our hosts were very welcoming and looked after us very well. It was a good base for exploring the west of Iceland.

“Beautiful peaceful chalet in countryside.”
Very nice and peaceful place about 15 minutes outside Borgarnes. Beautiful scenery, and very peaceful. Only one other apartment, about 50m away, so no noise from neighbours. Very nice deck around the chalet, with fantastic views. Very well appointed, with everything that one may need in the kitchen. Good heating. Very well situated for day visits to Sneafellness peninsula and Husavik area. Road to Borgarnes is quiet and quick, with a number of restaurants in the town. Everything was very clean, and no issues with check-in, or communication with the host.

“A wonderful place to stay !”
Super comfortable bed, the little extras such as plenty of hooks in bathroom, shoehorn, useful items in kitchen, warm plus able to control heat level (we like the bedroom cool and many places are too hot but we could get all the rooms just right.) Good directions. Good WiFi. Loved not having a TV! Beautiful views ! Quick responses to questions. Handy for getting to and around the peninsula. Bonus supermarket was an easy drive.

“Perfect start”
Wonderfully secluded cottage in the middle of the countryside. Well situated for trips to Snaefellsnes. Very friendly and nice hosts living on with their farm next door. Possibility to book a guided horse ride with one of their icelandic horses, which was a magical experience! The cottage was well equipped, clean and absolutely cozy. We really enjoyed our stay here and can fully recommend!

“The 💯……”
The house was exceptionally tidy and clean. If you are looking to witness the aurora borealis and the starry sky, this is the perfect choice. We are also grateful to have met such a wonderful owner who took us to see his own Icelandic horses and sheep, passionately introduced us to local specialties, and provided us with useful travel information. If you choose to stay in this house, be sure to contact the landlord to arrange a horseback riding tour and experience a different side of Iceland. The facilities in the house were very complete and modern. Thank you to the host for hosting us.

“Great time close to Snaefelsness”
Very nice view from the accommodation. It is a bit outside from Borgarnes (beautiful city at the sea), but with a great landscape around.

“Wilderness paradise”
Superb location, very beautiful and peaceful. It feels like you are thoroughly in the wilderness, yet Borgarnes is a short drive. It's also a good base for driving to Snaefellsnes as well as the tourist hot spots of the Golden Circle. There's also a wonderfully isolated, fairly unknown hot spring close by. The cottage is comfortable and equipped with all the necessary amenities. The self check-in functioned smoothly. Owners sent very detailed directions and location coordinates which helped us find the cottage easily. Views around the cottage are amazing! Mountains and what feels like the entire sky surround the place. One can easily expect to see the aurora borealis here. Fully equipped kitchen, with all necessary things to cook.
