    The hotel was really nice, as well as the staff and we had an excellent dinner in the restaurant. It is also quite nicely located near the sea with a nice view. If you are going around the Snaefellsnes peninsula, it is a great place to stay.

    Excellent food, friendly staff, extremely relaxing place to be. The entrance hall just invites to sit, to relax, to drink a coffee and to let go.

    Located just next to an amazing lava field and beautiful cliff. We stayed in the smaller building and not the main house in a nice and spacious room.
