picturesque cottage
I stayed here with my mother and brother on our way from Hvolsvöllur to the Westfjords and this quiet little cabin was an excellent place to stay along the way. The cabin is easily accessible from the parking but stands a little away from the main building and has pretty views of the river. We had a very comfortable stay with all the amenities we needed to make ourselves breakfast, although there is also one available for purchase in the restaurant.

Convenient to Glymur and picturesque location
Property is adjacent to a river with beautiful scenery. The staff is very friendly. The hot tub is shared (not part of the cottage). Easy access to Glymur. Cottage was clean and spacious.
