“We had a great few days and the owners were very accommodating and responsive.”
Design of the house stood out from the normal. The lounge and kitchen were upstairs which helped with excellent view across the sea. Also a hot tub to relax in. All in all highly recommended.

This was the first location for us on the island. It was perfect. Besides that the Sea View was great, the owners thought of everything. Binoculars, shaving mirrors, explanation of the washing machine. Great interior .. Would book again for sure. Try the fishsoap at Fjorubordid!

“Amazing scenery, changes in weather added to the views.”
The property had fabulous views out to sea. The hot tub and furniture was very comfortable. Very well equipped in the kitchen and plenty of towels in the bathroom. Facilities in the village very useful.

Communication with Kristinn was excellent and she replied promptly to my query ahead of our stay. The property itself is located in a beautifully peaceful part of Iceland with stunning views over the North Atlantic Ocean from the balcony. My wife and I were staying here for 2 nights as part of a big birthday celebration for her and she was absolutely thrilled with it; couldn't recommend it more highly for anyone looking for a really comfortable stay away from the hustle and bustle of a major town. Thank you, Kristinn!

“Gorgeous.”
Gorgeous property. Sublime ocean views. Owner kind and friendly when we had to call on arrival about the door lock box code - our fault as we had not noticed the email that came after our booking so keep an eye out for this. Park to the right side as you drive in as the other spot is leased. Marine/boat style steps up to the loft area with kitchen/lounge/main bedroom were not a problem for the 86 year old member of our group once she had tackled them a couple of times so don't be put off by these if you are reasonably mobile. Cute, well-equipped and designed electric kitchen with a drawer-style dishwasher integrated with the oven. Great laundry with Miele washing machine and dryer. Outdoor hot tub also good for star-gazing and potential Northern-light searching. We bought supplies at supermarket in Selfoss but there are some basics such as salts, sugar, coffee pods and most herbs and spices already supplied.

“The Barn house is the perfect base for trips to the Golden Circle and along the south coast.”
We spent wonderful days at the Barn House and felt very comfortable. The house is perfectly equipped and very stylishly furnished. The location is ideal for trips to Thingvellir / Golden Circle or towards the south coast (Vik, Skógafoss, Seljalandsfoss). The communication with Kristinn was perfect. Thank you Kristinn for letting us be your guests.

“Northern Lights from hot tub in the back yard”
We liked everything about the house! You have everything you need for cooking, e.g. great variety of spices, nice dishes, even baking paper 😄 Also you will find books all around the house. Huge windows gives you more than enough light during the day and each one can be easily covered if you want darkness) Beds are very comfortable! After the hot tub, diving into the soft and warm bed is great!) Hot tub is amazing! That's the whole great story!) Just imagine you coming in the evening, tired a little after sightseeing, entering the tub, where the temperature is around 38° and in a few minutes you can see Northern Lights right from the tub... Even when there is no Aurora in the sky, I admired the stars, clear sky and almost no artificial light around makes them extremely bright. Kristinn was very helpful and friendly. Replied to every message in a few minutes. In general, everything was amazing 😍 Will definitely be back here in summer)

“Beautifully designed house, well recommended!”
This place is amazing. The design of the house is so well done. The wooden building is at the edge of the sea in a street with a row of houses. There are 2 bedrooms and a bathroom on the groundfloor and at the first floor (second in some languages..) is another bedroom and the kitchen/living room with an amazing view! There is a hottub outside that was right on temperature. The location is, although very quiet, really central. You can make easy day trips to all the waterfalls, geysir, reykjanes peninsula and the black beach area. We had a wonderful stay! Thanks Kristinn and Rut!
