This was our favorite stay on our entire journey of 8 nights and 6 different hotels. The food was amazing! When I got home I cooked lamb goulash and scalloped potatoes. It wasn't as good as yours, but reminded me of our wonderful stay. Thanks.

We stayed in the single cabin room/suite (of which there are 8 on the hillside). You take a nice paved road in from highway 1 until you reach the guesthouse area. Everyone is super friendly and the rooms are comfortable and quaint. We purchased the breakfast add-on and that was delicious. It was a great experience as part of our travels.

One of our favorite stays in Iceland! The main house has great dining options (dinner and breakfast) as well as a very friendly and accommodating staff. Walking around the property and petting some of the horses completed the experience. The guest houses were beautiful, clean, and secluded from the daily hustle. Highly recommended lodging in Iceland.

Cabin 3 needs to have the lock replaced since the strong winds have damaged it. Otherwise, very tranquil and idyllic lands. Curious horses, cats, and farm animals will beg for food by approaching you.

We got a 2brm unit. I was really nice and staff were great. Being honest our son showered for 10mins a then the next person got a minute and it was arctic water. The three of us left had to boil pots of water and bathe. It was an experience. You need to book ahead if you want dinner on site at 7pm as there is nothing else in the area to eat or shop before you arrive and there is a little kitchen with everything you need to prepare a meal. The breakast/dinner which you have to drive too is beautiful, cosy hall and the breakfast food was great. Overall a really nice experience.

Great guest houses. Main office has a dining room that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Must reserve before the meal so they know how many to cook for. Itā€™s a horse ranch and you can watch the horses or book a horseback trail ride. Hosts are very hospitable and units are clean and convenient for a family or a couple.

Nice place, particularly the common area which is very nice with a nice view. Very helpful and friendly staff. The rooms are simple, two single beds so not very comfortable for couples. Also the food is very overpriced dinner is 8K which is too much for what is very simple food, breakfast is 4K and is not included.

Beautiful property and great cabin! We will stay here on future trips for sure! Loved the view and all the horses. Cabin had little kitchenette, but they also offered an breakfast option at the main building. Staff was very friendly. I do wish the hot tub was located closer to the cabins as it was too cold to shower, head to the main building, get in the hot tub, then head back to the cabin while in wet swimming suits.
