We absolutely loved the cottage itself—it felt incredibly cozy and was the perfect size for our family of two adults and one child. The owner was exceptionally friendly and kind, and the staff were very helpful too! Both the room and toilet were spotless. The location is peaceful and perfectly situated, just a quick 3-minute drive to the stunning Fjaðrárgljúfur canyon.

“A wonderful place to spend marvelous time in Icleand!”
A wonderful place to spend time with children! The atmosphere is charming, and the setting of the cottages is just lovely, with the Fjaðrárgljúfur canyon right at your fingertips—only 2 km away. On top of that, the hosts invited our kids to their farm so they could enjoy seeing the tiny lambs and other wonderful animals. A fantastic property and a truly special stay. Simply wonderful!

Amazing location. Very secluded. The staff was actually receptive to our suggestions and didn't dismiss us for our ethnicity.
