“Nil”
The house was so beautiful, rested in a tranquil corner of nature, surrounded by open skies and silence. Facilities were new and well furnished with all the equipments needed available. Furnished with two bedrooms, one kitchen, spacious bathroom and a dining area. We loved the house so much we wished we stayed longer. Out of all the accommodations we stayed this was by far our favourite. Thank you for making our stay such a memorable one. Highly recommended!

Everything - a cozy and warm house, surrounded by nature and horses. It was very was warm inside with heated floors, so the clothes were always dry after a day of exploring. Close to the road, near many sightseeing spots (reachable by car). Very nice owner. Easy self check-in/-out.

We spent 3 unforgettable days in this wonderful house. It is a house renovated with great care and beautiful details. All the rooms are beautiful and have large windows from which you can see an amazing landscape, we also saw the Northern Lights :-) The location was perfect for us, isolated but easily accessible. Beautiful

The forgotten farmhouse is really an extraordinary, lovely place. Perfectly renovated it offers all convenience and a great bathroom. If we have the chance to come back to Iceland, we will definitely come back to the forgotten farmhouse- we simply loved it and it's close to many sites to visit.

Very nice and new small house. Remote and in the middle of farmland, surrounded by sheep and horses.

We spent a total of three nights in this cozy accommodation. It is a modern but sensitively renovated former farmhouse in a great location for exploring the south of the island. It has a fully equipped kitchen with space for socializing and a spacious bathroom. Everything is cozy, new and clean. For someone from the city, this is a real respite. Thanks again for a great place to stay.
