Casa retirada para disfrutar la naturaleza

Es una casa de campo aislada con mucha paz pero bastante retirada El detalle de la leche fresca muy bien recibido Por su ubicación retirado de luces pudimos ver la aurora boreal y disfrutarla

Es una casa antigua La cocina y sus instalaciones son antiguas

A lovely secluded cottage with great history and kind hosts.

Beautiful space to walk around. Host generously allowed use of an outdoor hotpot near their home. Saw the northern lights! A cozy house, made even cozier by the fact that we cooked our own dinner there.

Some appliances are a little old, but everything was functional except the coffeemaker. The hosts said they will look into it. If you plan to cook, consider bringing your own oil and salt/pepper/spices.

Very good

Quiet place by the sea. Perfect to see Northern Lights. In addition fresh milk from the farm was in the fridge upon arrival. Easy to go to the sea with observation of the seals.

Great stay in 1900's farmhouse

Of the 4 places we stayed in Iceland, This was the best one. It is a great old farmhouse with tons of charm. History of the house was available to read as well. The view is amazing, on a cliff looking over the water. The downstairs was comfortable for hanging out. Kitchen well stocked and the bed was was very comfortable. I can't say enough. If you are travelling the Ring Road stay here.

Back in time - a real Icelandic feeling

This lovely house near the water is everything you need for a peaceful stay. Everything and more was available. We could choose in which room to sleep, because there was enough place. We had a real Icelandic feeling in the house.

Recommend this place as a quiet retreat.

Very scenic location, could have spent a few more nights there! Fresh milk from their farm, upon arrival, and plenty of games and toys for the kids, a bonus!

The steps down to the bedrooms and living area are very slippery. Two of us fell (and we hadn't been drinking)! Also, be prepared with food if arriving after 5 pm on a weekend; we drove back into Hvammstangi to get food but nothing was open.

Excellent!

We enjoyed the quietness of the area, and the view. The accommodation is large enough for a family and it was well equipped. I can recommend this accommodation to everybody.

One of the Best Stays in Iceland!

This was one of my favorite stays in all of Iceland! Guðný was an excellent host that gave us detailed instructions for everything about the home. It is very eccentric with so much history! I would highly recommend reading the guestbook and seeing how the home came to be! You are also in the middle of nowhere along the water! The kitchen is extremely well-stocked and has everything you need to whip up a fantastic meal. The dining room is wonderful to share a meal with family or friends. The whole home has wonderful heating to keep everyone nice and toasty. There is a lot of hiking to do in the area (should you choose to do so). Do not miss out. I loved this place!!

Cozy guesthouse far off the beaten path

House itself and all its perks were perfect, super cozy atmosphere. Location of the guesthouse is incredible. Close to the sea and when northern lights are on, you will be in the best spot to see them. Overall definitely recommended (and thanks for the bottle of milk, that was highly appreciated!)

Good

The location was good - we woke up to a sunny day and the view from the house was amazing.

The place needs more cleaning: the bathroom smelled bad and the carpet at the bottom floor was stained pretty badly. There were dead bugs laying around, and the kitchen appliances weren't too clean. The location is awesome with good weather, but it gets pretty bad when it's raining and dark.

Home… on the water, in Iceland!!

Amazing views! Family farm! Lots of good history. Fresh milk upon arrival. As soon as we stepped through the door it felt like home immediately. Cozy, clean, comfortable, warm, well done with charm and grace. Wonderful kitchen and bathroom. Real yard. Great experience all around. Great wifi. Plenty of space and comfortable beds. What more could you want? We hope to return in a winter in the near future. Truly perfect for traveling family. Private and refreshing. Great way to experience real Iceland!

Nothing stands out as needing improvement.

Welcome to home

I C E L A N D . The best memories as years ago. Great owners and real atmosphere. Only best opinions (from my whole family /40-75'/) about comfort, place, all fantastic details. Authentic. It is not a hotel or "space for rent" - you are in real icelandic home, just your brother or friend left 5 min. ago. Welcome to home. TAKK!

Extremely nice and cozy house.

Extremely nice and cozy house. The bottle of fresh milk was an amazing touch, as it was absolutely delicious! No problems with a late check-in or early check-out, the hosts were very responsive before our arrival in settling all details. The house's surrounding is truly breathtaking as well! We would have liked to stay there even longer.

Beautiful views, comfortable house and plenty of space.

The cottage is part of a farm overlooking Hrútafjörður with fantastic views over the farm and the water. It is historic, homely and comfortable cottage with plenty of space outside for a barbecue or for kids to play. There are horses and cows in the paddocks around. The lounge is super comfortable with access to TV channels and some dvds to watch. The wifi was pretty good. This would be a great place for a family or group of friends to stay. And the fresh milk was awesome!

The hot water smelled a bit of sulfur. There are stairs to the bedrooms - about 5 to the upstairs one and 8 to the downstairs ones.
