“comfortable and enjoyable stay”
This B&B is very homely, comfortable, and beautifully looked after. It feels like staying in a well-cared-for house, with plenty of lovely common areas to sit and relax. The décor is tasteful and high quality, with comfortable leather couches and armchairs, beautiful paintings, and thoughtful touches throughout. The room we stayed in is very spacious with sitting area and 2 chaise. The amenities were new and modern. The water pressure in the shower was great. The breakfast has great selection of options which exceeded our expectation. The bread was warm and fresh, the butter was soft and creamy, and there were plenty of healthy choices such as fresh fruit, vegetables, plain yoghurt, and roasted nuts. Matteo the manager was friendly and welcoming, and he keeps the whole place incredibly clean, neat, and well maintained. It was a really comfortable and enjoyable stay.

“Beautiful, cozy, and hospitable. Definitely going back.”
The cottage was beautiful and right when we arrived the northern lights were above us! Such a great surprise. The room was clean and despite us arriving after the reception closed, the owners left us a note and instructions on how to get to the cottage. They even brought us ice cubes that we asked and left them outside our property.

This was a nice place to stay for the night. It seemed like the hotel may have had some issues before our arrival, as the changing rooms were broken and the hot tubs couldn’t be used due to the snowfall. The bedroom itself was clean and provided a comfortable night’s sleep, and there is parking available on site, which was convenient. One thing to note is that the room didn’t include a kettle, coffee facilities, or a fridge, which would have been a nice addition for guests staying overnight. Overall, it was a pleasant and comfortable stop for the night.

“A homey cozy cottage”
I booked the entire cottage for myself. I do like the feel of homey amd cozy the place is. If staying with family (i.e : 2 adults & 2 children) for at least 2 nights, this would be a great base to stay. As you can cook and pretty good size for the space. If you're lucky, you could see the northern lights from this place. I was not that lucky that night 😁

“BEST PLACE IN ICELAND”
Best place to stay in South Iceland, and no, I'm not a bot haha. We only had the chance to stay for one day but would have stay forever. They make you feel at home with the great service the personnel give you. The food for the dinner and the breakfast really feels like home food and the most important thing: they have THE MOST COMFORTABLE beds I've ever seen. I'm even looking how to buy the same toppers and pillows they have there. Its located inside the nature and you can definitely feel the peace you are looking in a trip to Iceland. Congrats guys, and thank you so much!
