Wonderful cottage style stay in a midst of grassland. Really love the cottage feel of the place. The owner was very friendly and she was there outside the room waiting for us when we arrived. Love her huge friendly dog as well. The room was well furnished. The owner even provided us with some snacks and drives for breakfast in the fridge. There was also souvenir used horseshoe for us to bring home. There was a outdoor deck where you can sit and enjoy the lovely scenery. Side note: the lovely lady boss actually picked 2 stranded tourists whose car had broken down on the road somewhere and put them in the workers room while they waited for their replacement car.

It was like a dream! Definitely the best place that I stayed overnight in my trip. The room is adorable and very cozy. We had the view of the horses from our window during the sunset. If you love animals like I do don’t miss the chance to stay in this place. They also have a lovely golden retriever that was really friendly, and receptive when we arrived. I wish I could stayed longer. Definitely I will be back when visiting Iceland again ❤️ Thank you so much for making this stay such a sweet memory.
