“Unique farm stay experience would recommend.”
The rooms are fantastic although the air conditioning was a tad too warm for us. We had a nice meal in the restaurant overlooking the cow enclosure and the ice-cream was delicious. There is also a Tesla supercharger onsite which was convenient for us. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive

The room was in the newly built accommodation and was exceptionally clean and comforatable....and of course "country quiet". The dinner menu was brief but catered for all diets , and children, and our choices of trout and the burger did not disappoint....they were both delicious. I would thoroughly recommend the farm hotel as perfect accomodation to explore the Thingvellir National Park and Gullfoss region

Everything! Wonderful farm based experience. Simple, modern, spotless and comforting in a very relaxing setting. Location is perfect for exploring the nearby sights of the Golden Circle. Local made ice cream from their dairy herd is wonderful.

“Peaceful Farm Retreat with Delicious Dinner”
We had a truly wonderful stay at this farm hotel in November. The peaceful, quiet location was exactly what we needed after a long day of driving. The room was spacious and we were particularly impressed by the interior design of the bathroom. Also I can recommend the dinner, the meat was delicious and the dining area was very cozy.
