The staff is amazing
The reception was extremely warm and I felt very welcome. I was impressed with the kindness of the staff. In the evening I was also offered dinner, where I was able to interact with other travelers. And the food was great. The facilities are very good too, and the hot pool was invigorating!

Great people, beautiful setting, fascinating museum. Go!
The setting, the museum on site, the people who work there, meeting the other travelers, the family-style dinners where we got to talk to others, the idea of the sauna and hot tub, the concept.
The bathroom door in the old house was a problem. One bathroom, eight people. The door was loud. The lock didn’t work well. Every time someone went into the bathroom, the door was LOUD then the lock was LOUD. It was difficult to sleep if anyone else was using the bathroom. There’s also the issue that different nationalities of people have different bathroom conventions - for example, Germans leave the door closed when the bathroom is empty. USA people leave it open. That led to not knowing if the room was in use or not. I mentioned it to the manager and I trust she’ll do something about it!Also, sadly, the plumbing in the hot tub/sauna was out of whack and the hot tub was not warm enough so it was less than ideal. I’ve said so much negative but really I had a wonderful time. It was a beautiful place with beautiful people and I would go there again. The museum was excellent and interesting and so well done. The staff were so kind and friendly. It was a terrific experience.

The property was cute. Etti, probably spelling that wrong I am sorry, was so friendly and helpful and it was such a pleasure getting to talk with him. The food was amazing as well for dinner.
It was hard to get it to pull up on GPS for directions. Use Waze instead of google.

Superb
Great staff who were very accommodating, super comfy beds, clean, great food!! Farm dogs were lovely. Very quirky and unique! Outdoor pools were fantastic. Real character, made me feel like I was in a slice of 50s Iceland. Icelandic Lamb Dinner! 🤤🤤
Main house was creaky, could hear people moving about. One toilet for four rooms. All things considered, I would stay again!,

Don't tell others so I wont get ruined, oops I think I just did.
Rural beauty, serene and off the beaten path. Like going under the rope at a museum and sleeping in the bed. Something spiritual about the place just made you want to slow down and be for awhile. Family dinners were a pleasant change to the hotel fare. Well worth the jog off the beaten path!
When I had to leave.
