We can see that there is now a new glass restaurant which should have good views towards the far lake. Not yet open when we stayed. The food in the current restaurant was excellent, inspiring menu, could have more choices but talented chef is preparing the food.

The location was beautiful and it was a more authentic Icelandic experience. The food was homemade

Very nice cottage

Liked the idea of staying in the dome and the lake view was the icing on the cake. The decor in the domes is very stylish, underfloor heating was a nice touch, as well as the complementary wine. Sofa area was large enough to fit all of us comfortably, and a great place to relax

Location with very nice view on the lake

Lovely location, stunning views all around. Nice breakfast selection and coffee

Very good location to explore the south west of Iceland. Very good restaurant.

The property is about 15-20 minutes north of Selfoss where you can get most things you would need for a self catering holiday. The location also means that most of the Golden Circle spots are not far away and we even drove down to Diamond Beach and back in a day, which was a journey never to be forgotten for its superb scenery and iceberg boat trip. The house is easy to find even if down a track off the main road (Google maps will take to the the track that is now blocked, so you need the other one about 30m further north). There is ample parking for up to 3 cars. When we went into the house it looked far better than the photos, especially the deck out over the river which was superb (on a nice day!). The views from the kitchen window and the lounge were also wonderful. One reason I chose this house is that it seemed to be far more nicely furnished than many others I had looked at in the area and we were not let down by the reality. Even though the description said 5 bathrooms, there were only in fact 2 shower rooms (one en suite and the other a family bathroom - the other 3 were hand basins off each twin room), however this was never a problem and there were 6 adults in our family. The kitchen is well equipped and the huge lounge is great for relaxing after a long day's hiking, horse riding or whatever. The TV had Netflix. There are blinds on each window that are effective (you need them if it never gets dark). The sauna was a hit as was the hot tub outside, again with superb views. Communication from the owners (Vala) was quick and she was always very helpful. Our children (very fussy and frank in their views) thought this was the best place we have stayed in so far, which is saying something as I always try and find nice houses wherever we go as a family. Overall I would recommend this property highly to families coming to sample the true wonders of Iceland's scenery - the house is spacious and very cosy on colder days.

Great location near the national park. House is still a bit basic but really has everything you could possibly need. It was great to have two bathrooms because we were travelling in a group. Super clean. Jacuzzi was lovely! Jacek was so kind and really communicative.

Close to attractions, roomy for a group of people, great amenities.
