Reviews
One of the highlights was getting to see the farm animals up close. Guests have the chance to watch the cows being milked daily, which made breakfast even more special. A lot of the food is homemade, and I loved trying everything.
The staff and farmers were incredibly friendly, making us feel right at home. If you’re looking for a peaceful and authentic Icelandic farm stay, this is the perfect place!
