Set in Seyðisfjörður, 3.7 km from Gufufoss, Dúlluhús - Apartments by Aldan has ski-to-door access, private parking and rooms with free WiFi access. The property has mountain and lake views. The apartment features parking on-site, a fitness room and a housekeeping service. I loved everything about this cottage style house. Our apartment was on the ground floor. The living room, kitchen and 2 bedrooms were reasonably spacious, nicely decorated, very clean and very cozy. Our friends stayed upstairs in another lovely apartment. Seyðisfjörður, is a lovely small town, in a valley, surrounded by beautiful mountains. The locals are all very friendly and we enjoyed lovely food in the nearby Aldan bar/restaurant. We stayed for the Sluice 2025 art event, but it would also make a great base for driving around and seeing all the other sights. If I am ever travelling in this region again, I would hope to stay in this cottage.
