    The on-site farm was a highlight, and our son loved watching the animals. Dinner was excellent. The room was spacious but felt a bit dated. Overall, a decent hotel in good location in Egilsstadir.

    Beautiful location right on the lake. Great breakfast and nice dinner options. We were there in summer, but looks like it would be amazing for winter too with cozy lounge spaces and cross country skis available.
