“Lonely place, but lovely”
We had the pleasure of staying at this beautifully arranged guest house for a week. The interior design is lovingly crafted and reminiscent of times gone by. Nothing is lacking, and we felt very comfortable here. We went on daily excursions across half of Iceland and looked forward to returning to our private base camp. We would like to express our gratitude for the warm hospitality and look forward to returning.

It is a old bungalow converted to Guesthouse. It has all the facilities and many rooms. Has a small garden and one can go down to the sea if weather permits. It is way from the ring road but a very adorable property. Owners left fresh milk for us, it was delicious.

In the middle of nowhere, time looks like it stops. Nice view of the fjords and free cow milk in the fridge.

A cosy farmhouse. The communication with the hosts was easy and we did not miss anything for cooking. Just be careful with the many stairs in the house, as it's easy to miss some of the smaller steps.

“Lovely modernised old farm house, still with character and soul”
What a nice guesthouse, just what we like. An old farmhouse with modernised central heating, partly floorheating, double window glasses, shower and good firm beds. Bit still a house with lots of original character. We spent our resting Sunday here. If you like old houses with a soul, this is the place to be. Stable internet, but bit slow, but that is normal for rural area I guess

The location was so picturesque and very calming and relaxing. It was lovely to be close to the sea and visit with the horses. We also had fresh milk waiting in the fridge for our arrival, which was delicious and a lovely welcoming touch.
