    If I could change something I would ask for better curtains as there was a gap on the side and the sun light would hit my face early in the morning.

    Friendly staff, very good breakfast. We saw the northern lights through the window of our room!!!

    • Cottage
    • Stayed 1 night
    • Submitted via mobile

    I didn't have enough time to spend here. There is a discrepancy between the website and booking.com on the max number of occupants resulting in me booking 1 family room and a cottage when for a small extra charge we could all have stayed in one room.

    Beautifully decorated, cottages were very pretty too. Very comfortable and a great spot for bird watching straight out of the window. Like most places in Iceland cosy war.

    The room where you can get free coffee and water opens very late on mornings, so we left without having the opportunity to use this facility. Rooms are very small.

    It is very well located, very near to Urridafoss.

    Room is a bit cramped to walk around. Shower could be a bit more presentable. Cleaning staff knocked on the door and immediately entered the room without waiting for our response, we were still in bed (this was an hour before checkout time).

    Good location if you need to stay somewhere after doing the Golden circle or South coast. Comfortable beds, nice view. Free coffee, tea and chocolate etc.

    We had 4-person room (not in the main building) and it was definitely too small for 4 adult people. We hadn't enough place for our luggages.

    Hotel in the middle of nowhere but it makes this location very nice (fields, horses etc. around). Very friendly staff, nice common areas, free tea and coffee all the time.

    Cozy cottages with very nice view, kind and helpful staff, but very limited internal space
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Basic Triple Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The cottages are very small (both the bedroom and the bathroom). We had to leave part of our luggage in the car due to the lack of available space.

    The cottage was new, clean and quite well equipped (including roller shutters that allowed to have a dark environment even in Iceland!). Very nice view from the room. The staff was very kind and helpful. The structure provides also a restaurant and a shared rest area equipped with board games and darts, usable for free. Complimentary coffee and hot beverages for the guests that stay in the cottages. Kettles available on request, free of charge.

    We had a very small room for four, located in a basement. Not that we were expecting any luxury, but for the cost they charge (even condidering Icelandic prices) the room should be better.

    The landscape and the integration in it. A beautiful and relaxing place in the countryside. The staff was very kind. Good breakfast.

    Breakfast was a bit limited for 16 eur but then again everything is expensive in Iceland! The quality of the spread was very good though.

    It was a great stay in the middle of nowhere! Situated within a vast property surrounded by green pastures and horses, it was beautiful inside and out! Rooms were small but cosy and beautifully decorated (very unexpectedly modern considering the location). There were even earplugs, eye shades and hotel slippers offered!! The room had a gorgeous view of the property with vast greenness all around. The price of the room was very reasonable at 150 eur compared to other accommodations in the region. Great value for money, highly recommended!!!
