We LOVED this place. The rooms were so comfortable. It felt like the bathroom floor was heated and there was a towel warmer. It was fun watching the cows, and the food was delicious. We saw Northern Lights while we were here too!

We loved the different style of staying on a working farm, but with all the benefits of a modern stylish hotel. The restaurant was casual, but the food was excellent, and the windows into the barn to watch the dairy cattle eating was fun and entertaining. The location was great, as it was close to three great sites: Bruarfoss, Geyser, and Gullfoss, so we missed some of the crowds.

What an amazing place to stay. Perfect location, friendly staff, amazing food and comfortable beds. We also went on a horseback ride to a nearby waterfall that was AMAZING. I can't say enough good things about this place. We would return in a heart beat. Oh and they have an amazing trampoline for kids to bounce on.
