“Strange Experience, hosts want nothing to do with you”
The private studio was modern, clean and warm. The surroundings were wonderful and horses were beautiful. There seemed like there were a couple of experiences on the farm you could do, however, we only stayed for 1 night so had no time to do these.

“Incredible stay with Icelandic Horses!”
Located in a super peaceful area with no neighbours (except for the other three cabins), right next to a meadow with four wild Icelandic Horses (the little grey-ish one seems to be the most curious one and even came to the fence to say hi!). Only a 30 minutes drive to the ferry to the Westman Islands, and Seljalandsfoss. Super spacious cabin, very cozy, fully equipped kitchen, incredibly comfy bed with an amazing view, hot shower, very friendly neighbours' cat (be careful, it might slip in once you open the doors)! I felt right at home! Would definitely stay again!

“Fantastic 3 nights stay”
We had a lovely time here! It's a shame that the last few days just flew by and we had to leave 😊. To the host - thank you for looking after this place. We saw how much work and love you have put in here 🐴🤍. We are delighted with our stay and we will recommend this place to people we know 😊. This time, we travelled on a budget, but we are hoping to come back one day and try horse riding too. Your horses are so beautiful! 🐴🥰 Wishing you all the best!

“Memorable stay in beautiful surroundings”
Lovely cosy cabin, very comfortable and warm. Horses were very friendly and we loved watching them in their field right in front of our cabin. Bonus to see amazing Northern Lights on the night we stayed.

“Amazing place! Fully recommend it!”
It is a cozy and quiet cabin but spacious enough to be comfortable. There were many blankets to choose from. The room smelled very nice. The kitchenette has all you need including stove, dishwasher, Nespresso machine with capsules. The view through the large windows to the horses, fields and sky were exactly what I wanted to experience! All in all I fully recommend this property to anyone who wants to relax :)

“Come, feel and see the country and horses”
Feel the country and the horses! We stayed here for one week and visited common and secret places nearby by the rented 4WD. Very close to the ferry (Landeyjahöfn) to the Vestmannaeyjar (Westmen Island). The cottage is clean and has a cooking place with all equipment you need (coffee machine, dish washer, microwave). Very nice,relaxed and friendly staff. My daughter also joined the famous black beach ride. Best thing: no TV set and the panorama windows.

“Where were the horses?”
We booked a night here based on the name of the property and the publicity photos both on this website and social media. Sadly, this birthday treat for our horse-mad daughter proved to be disappointing and was the ultimate in false advertising (possible scam?). Firstly, there were no horses in front of the room. Second, if there had been they would not come to the room like in the photos as there is an electric fence between the room and where the horses should have been. We had closer contact with horses in cheaper properties throughout Iceland. If you want an expensive room then this is your place, but all the bathroom product bottles were empty. If you are 4 persons, expect 2 to sit on the bedside tables to eat. If you want the experience, don't bother and go somewhere else. Booking.com have also failed to respond.

“Very atmospheric and comfortable stay in the midst of nature, but not alone.”
Beautiful surroundings with view of happy perfectly kept horses on super well maintained fields - just amazing. Beds including the pullout sofa were super comfortable, layout very efficient with a spacious bathroom - the nicest we have seen on our roundtrip. Really nice design of everything. Kitchen is small but has everything to prepare small meals. Thanks to dishwasher and a smart system of several fresh clothes and towels and a clean brush we felt we could manage two meals a day easily. Nice natural products in the bathroom. Nice towels. Overall, a really pretty, comfortable small house that doesn’t feel to small due to the height of the ceiling. We booked ahead a beach ride with the owner Hördur and it was the best decision! Thank you!

It's a very good farm with complete equipment and large rooms. The farm horses are right in front of the window, which is very cute. Because the area is very open and there is no light pollution, you can see the aurora and stars at night. It is highly recommended.

We had a great stay. The cabin is well equipped, especially the kitchen. The cabin itself is very spacious and has very high ceilings. Everything fits together nicely and looks great. Waking up and being able to see horses is truly special. The only thing I sometimes missed was a bit more light when there was no sun coming through the windows. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would come back in a heartbeat.
