The property was clean and maintained. The kitchen had most items needed for cooking, although a microwave would have been a good addition. The sauna was great, but the hot tub wasn't filled when we arrived and never was usable for the evening. Staff were very helpful and friendly.
The place was relly nice! We got a clear view of the northern lights overhead which was amazing! The view of the horizon was slightly obstructed. But It was definitely secluded and out of the way. Only 4 stars because the highway lights shined almost directly into our window. The cottage was very hot. (Underfloor heating) with no way to turn off. And water had sulfur smell from the source (no fault of theirs), but it was off putting.

Favorite stay in all of Iceland! A great jumping off point for exploring the nearby natural beauty. The cabin was cozy and comfortable.
We had a great stay here on our tour to Snaefellsnes peninsula. The cottage is in a peaceful, rural location. We were very well looked after, and well rested for the next stage of the tour. We loved the chance to chill out… and relax in the hot tub!
It was a great place to stay. We had an amazing time. We arrived and had dinner in the restaurant and it was the best dinner we had in Iceland. We will stay again!!
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.
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.
