“A fantastic place to stay forever”
What a lovely place this is. I simply love this house with all its cosy corners and well thougt put features. So sorry that I cannot stay here for more than one night. The absolutely best accommodation yet on my whole trip around the coastline of this fantastic island.

“A quiet and beautiful house to stay at. Good value for money.”
Being the ONLY guest at the house, I had the whole main living area (2nd floor) to myself, as well as my room upstairs, of course. This just made living there very easy and convenient. =) As so many others have stated, the decor of the house is exquisite. On departure day I spent well over av hour just photographing the place. 😅

“Perfectly cozy and charming studio on the edge of the ocean”
The location is unbelievable, the studio had so much charm & character and was very peaceful & cozy! The hosts even left us a couple slices of delicious homemade apple cake. Would be very happy to return here again in the future .

“Beautiful Oasis”
Absolutely lovely and wonderful stay. Best views, nice decorations and also very kind host. The hot tubs are a great plus, too. I'd definitely come again and will recommend this little oasis to everyone I know that travels north. The area is totally underrated and there are a lot of nice things to see. You can get some groceries in Asbyrgi or Thorshöfn if you come from the other direction. The house is equipped with everthing one might need :).

Beautiful guesthouse! It's pretty remote but we liked that. The environment and the sunsets where also magnificent. We where mainly here to work for a few days, it was perfect for that: WiFi was fast, it was a quiet environment, and there was a good table to work on. A friend of the host was taking care of the guesthouse for a little while; Sigrun and her husband where super kind, very nice people!

This place is just a hidden gem and so fantastic. The house is on the water, with two hot tubs so you can look at the water and wildlife. The kitchen is beautiful and the rooms just feel so luxurious. The owner is incredibly friendly but not overbearing - just helpful and there if you need them for questions. The house is wonderfully decorated and we absolutely loved our stay.

We spent 3 days in Melar Guesthouse and had such a great time. The location is very unique, with lots of little carefully selected details and decoration. The host is so s^nice, giving lots of information and stories, while always respecting privacy. To relax in the whirl pool after a day full of excoursions was so nice.

“Relaxed, beautiful interior and exterior”
Obviously the view was breathtaking. Looking at the view from a hot tube, right next to the house, makes it even more epic. Very friendly owner. And have I mentioned the interior? Amazing! Everywhere the personality of the owner is found in the decor. Thanks!
