“Cottage with hot tub, rural location but with some compromises regarding cleanlineless and equipment”
Iceland is a wonderful country and the nature is incredible. We have never seen such a beautiful place like this one. We had spent one week in the cottage which is assumedly longer than other guests had done. It is very quiet and relaxing at the same time. The internet is stable and we must say better than at home no matter where you go. All kinds of streaming services are offered on TV. Two times we ate in their restaurant and we were served with a good quality of food . The ice - cream is delicious and you can look into the stable seeing the cows. Petting of the animals is not allowed which is perfect showing the respect to their animals. We spent our holiday with a family of friends who had rented the cottage of the same design. As they were right next to each other, it was a perfect fit. We could easily reach all the hot spots of the Golden Circle from there. Unfortunately they only offer horse rides during summer seasons but they recommended us a horse stable in the neighbourhood (Geysir Hestar) which was a wonderful experience and which we would highly recommended to anyone. The beds were comfortable. We got two times fresh towels and coffee for free - this was perfect. Thank you.

Amazing place. Comfortable rooms, the living room is large and the kitchen has all necessary items. The jacuzzi was amazing, especially after a very cold day out on the glacier. Would definitely recommend this place

100% recommended. It was very comfortable for 4 persons (it was an apartment) and warm. Everything was exactly like the pictures. 1 hour away from reykjavik with a car, much stuff very close to see, the jacuzzi was amazing and it was pretty quiet. Also a very good place to see the northern lights!

Lovely little cabin: very clean, nicely decorated, hot tub is great, nice to have tea and coffee supplies. Beds comfortable, very peaceful place. Good location close to Laugarvatn, Geysir, Gulfoss, Secret Lagoon, and next door to Bruarfoss. Restaurant next door is really good 👍

“Overall we were very satisfied, unfortunate unusable hot tub which we were looking forward to.”
The cottage is very cosy. We praise blackout blinds. We appreciate the refrigerator, grill, cottage style, wifi, playground, quiet and nice environment. We appreciate the presence of a dishwasher and tablets for it.

“Cottage farm stay”
Remote location but very close approx...15 mins away from all the beauty spots such as the Secret lagoon and Gulfoss and the Tomato farm plus moree. Great restaurant serving the farms beef and icecream overlooking the dairy cows in their shed. 3 bedrooms, Great views. The hot tub is filled with natural geothermal water but no jets. The drive back to the airport was stunning, through a national park and you see the Tectonic plate.
