Reviews
The view is amazing from the cottage! When we woke up it snowed for the first time this winter and it was spectacular and amazing. We almost stayed one more night because we loved this place so much. The kitchen was perfect for us to heat up the food and shower was so nice and warm. Like anywhere in Iceland, the water pressure and hot water was spot on. There was a small description about the farm and history of accommodation and it was very very cute. Ever thinking of visiting East Iceland, would highly suggest this spot. Im thinking of making this place an annual spot to visit in Iceland.
I was honestly expecting an extremely rustic little cottage and this definitely wasn’t luxury but it was much prettier and more pleasant than I expected. The grounds are lovely, the horses are nice and easy hikes not in walking distance from the cabin. Cabin has a functional small kitchen with stove and even had cooking oil. Only hand soap available in bathroom but that comes with the territory, not even the nicest places we stayed in Iceland would qualify as luxury by US standards. Restaurant was good too. Recommend for anyone going to this area of the country.
