Great and Easy Place
I was sad we didn’t have more time here! The property was in a beautiful area with sheep fields around it. Everyone was very friendly, and it was super easy to get to right off the Ring Road. Cute, clean and just what we needed on our trip around Iceland!

What an incredible location to spend the night. The mountains in the background and the ocean out front. The cabin was very clean, the beds were comfortable. The complimentary breakfast was generous with gluten free options available upon request.

Pros:The property was easy to find and parking was right outside our door. As with many places we stayed, the room was very warm in October, so we slept wiht the window open. Cons: They DO NOT have a restaurant. Extra pillow in the room was dirty and stained with no cover. Breakfast was the most limited we had during our stay in Iceland.

This was my favorite place to stay during our travel around Iceland. The rooms were clean and surprisingly quiet. I loved the location, being able to look outside and see grazing sheep and beautiful landscape. I wish we had time to hike the trail behind the property. Highly recommend staying here!
