    The host was super nice, accommodating our need for an earlier breakfast than the usual starting hours. Bathrooms were big and modern (we were on the lower floor so no problem with stairs). Even though our room was in the spot with most movement,...

    The guesthouse was absolutely spotless, and felt like a warm clean haven after a rainy day on the ring road. The breakfast was lovely, with homemade baked goods, homemade smoked salmon and fresh waffles. The host couldn’t have been more welcoming!
