Quaint and comfortable cottages set in the breathtaking scenery - at the foot of a mountain with views of the sea. Great dining choices, the Snojfell restaurant was fantastic. Would definitely stay again!

Very beautiful little cottages in the middle of an amazing spot in Iceland, lots of great spots for pictures and exploring! The room was very clean and had everything that we needed for our stay!

I highly reccomend it. It was nice to have privacy and the cottage very beautiful inside and out. We were able to see the northern lights at night.

The surrounding area is beautiful and the cottage was cozy. Staff was also very friendly. My only complaint is that we didn’t find out until entering our unit and seeing a sign on the bathroom that they don’t get much hot water. The sign says to use hot water sparingly. I made sure to get all the way in the shower before turning the water on given the warning. The warm water didn’t even last 2minutes before turning ice cold. Overall we enjoyed our stay, but given the winter conditions we would have loved a hot shower.

Nice and clean cottages. It was raining heavily so a paved path to the cottages would have been helpful avoiding pooling water. No TV, so a quiet night is a given.

We loved our cottage! It was so comfortable and clean and had just the amenities we needed, black out drapes, a nice shower, hot pot and refrigerator. Coffee and tea too! We walked a few feet over to the pizza restaurant which was fantastic and had pizza and some fish and chips( delicious) almond with a cold Icelandic beer. The arctic turns were nesting and quite aggressively defending there territory which made it charming. Wear a hat and wave your arms to ward them off if you come this time of year. They were harmless and it was fun to see.

Check in procedures were confusing, amenities were lacking in cottages, and it was impossible to get assistance locating an item that was left behind.

Leuke cottage.
Prima bed en fijne badkamer met douche.
Keukenvoorzieningen zijn beperkt. Er is een kleine microgolfoven, maar jammer dat er niets van borden of bestek is. De prijs ligt voor IJslandse normen redelijk hoog, dus war borden of bestek moet toch kunnen.
