A wonderful horse farm on a beautiful country road. Cute private cottages with a porch and adequate kitchen. We were there in the winter and lucky enough to see the northern lights from the porch. Easy to drive to nearby towns for sightseeing or groceries. Best breakfast buffet of the three places we stayed in Iceland.

This was our favorite stay on our entire journey of 8 nights and 6 different hotels. The food was amazing! When I got home I cooked lamb goulash and scalloped potatoes. It wasn't as good as yours, but reminded me of our wonderful stay. Thanks.

We stayed in the single cabin room/suite (of which there are 8 on the hillside). You take a nice paved road in from highway 1 until you reach the guesthouse area. Everyone is super friendly and the rooms are comfortable and quaint. We purchased the breakfast add-on and that was delicious. It was a great experience as part of our travels.

Great guest houses. Main office has a dining room that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Must reserve before the meal so they know how many to cook for. It’s a horse ranch and you can watch the horses or book a horseback trail ride. Hosts are very hospitable and units are clean and convenient for a family or a couple.

Beautiful location and very convenient if traveling between south coast and golden circle. Adorable cottage perfect for a family and super clean. Only thing to beware of is decision about dinner. They offer a set menu which comes out to $60 usd per person (even children). After reading other reviews, we decided to try it expecting something really amazing and Icelandic. While the food we received tasted good and there was nothing inherently wrong with it, we were absolutely shocked at the price point for what we received... chicken curry with rice (like we make in slow cooker at home) along with some basic mushroom soup and average salad. While Iceland is known to be expensive, when we spent this amount of money at restaurants all over, it was for wow-factor food and alcohol included. This was by far the most underwhelming meal of our trip and one of the most expensive. I'm sure some of their meals are sure to be worth it and taste excellent, but if you are going to commit to that amount of money on a meal (the price per plate of expensive fine dining), then it would probably be best to know what it is ahead of time. I know we would have never chosen that meal and price had we been told. Overall, this is a lovely spot and I highly recommend as a place to stay as long as you plan ahead for dinner :)
