    cozy museum experience
    delicious lamb stew
    northern lights views
    cramped rooms

    Nestled beside the breathtaking Lagarfljót lake, the accommodation experience is like sleeping in a cozy museum, with antique furniture and plenty of character. The home-cooked meals, especially the lamb stew, were delights that truly captured the essence of traditional Icelandic cuisine. The hot tub also provided a spectacular setting to view the Northern Lights.

    Rooms felt cramped.

    Cozy farmhouse experience with a home-cooked meal that truly captured the essence of Icelandic cuisine. I particularly enjoyed the smoked lamb dinner, which was probably the best meal of our trip. The hot tub offered a magical opportunity to watch the northern lights while relaxing, making it an unforgettable experience. It was a great place to slow down and unwind during our one-night stay.

    narrow stairs

    cozy farmhouse experience, unique museum displays, relaxing hot tub

    Rooms felt cramped and lacked kitchen facilities!!! The narrow stairs were a struggle with heavy luggage!!! More thorough directions to local attractions would enhance the experience!!!

    stunning location
    shared bathroom

    The location is stunning, being set in the

    heart of Iceland’s untouched nature. The renovated farmhouse offers fascinating decor and a cozy atmosphere. While the shared bathroom setup may be inconvenient for some, the charm and authenticity of the accommodations made my stay truly special.

    delicious breakfast
    stunning valley
    small rooms

    the sauna was amazing, and the surrounding valley was stunning. breakfast featured a buffet with local flavors, which made for a fun start of the day. sheep roaming around just added to the charm!

    rooms could be roomier.

    immersive experience
    home-cooked meals
    shared bathroom
    inconvenient directions
    limited amenities

    The experience felt deeply immersive, akin to sleeping in a living museum with its unique decor and antique touches. Breathtaking views surrounded the property, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere. The highlight was the home-cooked meals made with local ingredients, especially the mouthwatering tropical fruits that added a refreshing twist to breakfast. However, the shared bathroom setup posed some inconvenience, and clearer directions to local attractions would have improved the experience. Despite these issues, the warmth of the family-run establishment shone through.

    rustic charm

    Recommend it for adventurous travelers

    This place is really fun to stay at and the drive to the location is stunning. I loved sleeping in the shared space that felt like a Viking longhouse, it was clean and decorated like a museum. Plus, I rode horses the next morning. I can still feel the wind in my face from that ride.

    It wasn’t inexpensive but still acceptable.
