    The house is B E A U T I F U L!!! Right in the heart of Siglufjördur quite close to an amazing bakery. Helga is so caring and kind, we wish we would’ve spent more time at her home and with her, she has amazing tips and suggestions for your trip and loves to share her knowledge 😍 The room was beyond perfect, comfortable and warm beds with an amazing view… we even saw northern lights from the comfort of our room! We are definitely coming back ✨

    We loved our stay at Herring House! The rooms are clean and very comfortable and it is in great location in town. Our favorite part of the stay was having breakfast with fellow guests in our host's gorgeous home with a beautiful view of the town and fjord.

    Nothing

    The bed was one of the most comfortable of our week. The cabin is cute and very well presented and we enjoyed the outside shower, especially as there was a room with towels and heating and a guitar if you fancy having a strum whilst lounging in your undies. Highly recommend the Herring Museum, it was fabulous and great value for money And the bakery for brekkie

    The hosts were very accommodating and gave my son his own room even though we only booked a triple. The breakfast spread was amazing with homemade breads, fruit, cheeses, meats, yogurt, etc. and they told us all about the area, Icelandic culture and life that I felt like I was visiting with family(we chatted for an hour and half). So warm and helpful telling us about the local sites and hiking trails. Hands down the most beautiful town in Iceland on the Ring Road and best experience since I got to really experience Iceland and the warmth of Icelanders. Highly recommend!

    Super clean, with big bathroom. Nice owner. Great location. Note: that there are somewhat steep stairs to get into the building. There are four bedrooms with a well-stocked but small kitchen. There is a small counter to sit around while eating. I was there with a friend, we each had our own room and there were no guests in the other two rooms. It was perfect for our needs.

    We arrived at an exceptionally poor weather (snow storm in June!) knowing that we may freeze in the cabin, the owner had kindly offered to let us stay in the apartment instead. (A free upgrade!) it was genuinely a great surprise and a lovely highlight amidst the bad weather

    Shower is out doors, which can be a cool experience but also uncomfortable when you are comming from a Long car ride.

    My favourite stay of our roadtrip. The garden and cottage style decoration of the cabin is just magical! We arrived late and got right into the hottub, outdoors and with great view of the garden. The cabin is a very small space but used wisely, did not feel cramed at any time and it even has all the essentials to cook a quick meal. Highly recommend it for a short stay and for couples. Helen is a lovely host, very charismatic and caring.

    We had to eat breakfast in our room as there is no space in the kitchen area.

    Our room overlooked the town and mountains which is very pleasant. We made our own breakfast at the property which worked out okay. There is a coffee machine and toaster available. The bathroom is very spacious. The entire property is well cared for and decorated nicely. The host gave us recommendations on where to eat in town,

    AMAZING location that offered privacy but was only a few minutes walk from downtown and the coast. Our host was very welcoming and provided some excellent recommendations for dinner and breakfast. The room was the perfect size for us and the bed very comfortable. The shared bathroom was very clean and well maintained with all residents respecting the privacy of one another.

    The Herring House was amazing! The rooms and house are very lovely and modern. We were fortunate to have the whole ground floor (and the bathroom) to ourselves, as only the cabins were booked up. It could be a bit tricky to manage the bathroom when all four rooms are booked. Helga was a wonderful host. The place was absolutely spotless and restful. We enjoyed the troll in the garden and exploring the gorgeous cemetery next to the house. This was one of our favorite stays in Iceland!!

    Some wifi issues and couldn't get Netlfix to work but overall great stay.

    We stayed in the 2 bedroom apt at the Herring House. Helga was lovely, met us on arrival, and was available by text entire stay. The apt is beautiful, with everything you need for a relaxing stay. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped (except would have liked drip coffee maker vs. nespresso). Very modern, clean, and quiet. Washer and dryer is a plus. Scenic seaside town was perfect backdrop to this stay.
