It is a cozy beautiful stay. The best part of the stay is very helpful host. Some might find the place a bit small but the facility is very new.

We got the spectacular mountain view room so we could clearly see the glacier outlets. Great location for chasing the northern lights because the surroundings are farms with not much light. The food is nice. We had the signature local langoustine soup and vanilla ice cream for dinner and they were splendid. Rankes among my most favourite dishes in Iceland so far. The room is well equipped and comfortable. Good selection for breakfast.

We had a wonderful stay in these lovely rooms! The location was perfect—not only for exploring but also it was the ideal spot to watch the Northern Lights, and we were lucky enough to see them right from our windows. The rooms were warm, cozy, and beautifully set up—just what you need for a comfortable stop while doing the Ring Road. Our host was very thoughtful and made sure everything was perfect for us. A special mention to the sweet lady at breakfast—she was so kind and took great care of us! We highly recommend this place and would love to stay here again! 😊✨🏡

    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!

    Everything about this guesthouse is great! The owner was icelandic and very friendly. She even let our friend to use the showers for free and sleep in her camper van on the property! The guesthouse is well equipped (2 shared bathrooms/restrooms!) and the breakfast was yummy, with homemade products. The bedroom was roomy, with comfy beds. Everything was clean and functionnal. The location is pretty quiet and the view is nice over the fields. You can see the ocean in the distance.
