    Lovely. Helpful staff, very clean. Cozy but enough room. We even did our laundry in the cabin. Close to the Viking replica home.

    just don't listen to the host when they advice you to visit the nearby Eiriksstadir Viking Longhouse. Its absolutely not worth the money. Very disappointing experience.

    Wonderful spacious property. comfy beds, kitchen well equipped. Shower and toilet inside. Clean rooms. Looking out the window you can watch the sheep, good wifi. everything we needed for one night stay. Quiet location.

    Quite secluded with nice views over the pasture and mountains. You need to go thru a few km of dirt road but they were well maintained and we had no problem with 2 wheel drive car.

    Serene! Clean cabin with all amenities, with mountain behind and cute lambs nesting outside our window. It was refreshing being on a little farm. The cabin was very clean and tidy. It was a perfect overnight stay for our adventures and the owner and staff were extremely helpful. Very well organized equipped cabin. Very thoughtful owner.

    The cabin was nice and clean and the kitchen was well equipped. It is near a small waterfall with view over the near mountains. We had a beautiful experience: the owner showed me the sheep and lambs and told me about them.

    The division between the bathroom and the bathroom. The wall doesn't go all the way to the top ...we can hear everything, losing a bit of privacy.

    It's a cute little place. They are very cordial and nice. There's enough stuff at the house to make it very comfortable. There's a washing machine for your clothes as well.

    Bedroom is very small (basically fits the bed with a meter at the end), but quite comfy.

    Nice little cabin with a small verandah overlooking a valley, and with it's own little waterfall a couple of meters away. Easy parking within a few meters, and everything in the cabin worked nicely.

    Romantic stay on a secluded location

    Maybe the approach to the cottages, since it's a bit further up from the main road and reachable via gravel road... however that secluded spot gives a special feeling. Especially worth it if you're staying few nights.

    We only stayed one night, but we loved it. Although it's a small cottage, there is a spacious living room for dining and relaxing which is perfect for luggage. The kitchen offered everything we needed to fix our meals. The bathroom super clean with extra towels and hair dryer. The location is very quiet and peaceful, with so much greens and huge grass fields with sheep. I highly recommend for couples.

    Our best accomodation in Iceland! Full kitchen, calmness around, in the middle of the nature, BBQ on the property, parking in front of the house. The road is a bit bumpy for 7 km, nothing serious even a normal car can do it.

    One of the best houses we stayed in Iceland during our road trip on September 2023. Very clean, fully equipped kitchen and bathroom with washing machine. Spacious with comfortable bed. Lastly, it is located in a very quiet location in the nature. One of the best picks in Iceland!
