Reviews
The house is a little creaky, but in a cosy, charming way. It actually gives the place character and makes it feel like it has a soul rather than being just another guesthouse.
The surroundings are beautiful, and having the horse stable right next to it makes it even more special. It feels peaceful and very authentic.
Breakfast the next morning was great too, lots of food and a good selection. Nothing over the top, just really solid and exactly what you need to start the day.
Perfect for a short stay, but you could easily stay longer as well. We really enjoyed it.
The apartment was roomy and well equipped. We had a full kitchen with a little dishwasher. We had beautiful views of the horse farm, and mountains in the distance. There was also a river behind the farm.
Lovely stay on an equestrian centre. The guesthouse was clean and comfortable with an enormous upstairs sitting room with tea and coffee available.
Breakfast was adequate but convenient.
It was lovely to see the Icelandic horses outside the window and to be able to visit the stables to meet them up close.
The photos of the accommodation show a kitchen, but it is not accessible to guests.
We have the opportunity to interact with the horses on the property.
The owner is a very friendly person.
