Beautiful farmhouse in an amazing location and very nice and kind hosts. Of all the places we visited on our tour around Iceland, this was the most pleasant and we had the best sleep here. Would definitely stay here again if we ever visit again!

“Tiny Cozy Place”
This tiny cozy little place had all the warmth we needed after a long tiring journey. What we loved the most was the room heaters that made it even cozier. The host is too good and loves to chat 😁

“Good stay in a farmhouse”
The house is warm and cozy. It’s very close to Kirkjufell mountain so perfect location if you are able to spot the Northern Lights. There is a kitchen with two stoves, a small fridge, microwave and kettle. The rooms are not big but they are comfortable. You share the toilet with the owners and other guests.
