One of the most unique and memorable hotel stays we’ve ever had. Watching cows and calves through viewing windows while dining was such a special experience, and the on-site ice cream bar was a fun bonus. Check-in required a quick workaround since no one was initially at the front desk, but the restaurant staff kindly helped us connect with them—problem solved easily. The room was gorgeous—a dream space that honestly inspired future home renovation ideas. Heated bathroom floors, a powerful rain shower with handheld option, and a heated towel rack made it feel luxurious and cozy. The mountain views from the large windows were breathtaking. The glass house seating area for Northern Lights viewing was such a thoughtful touch. The farm-to-table restaurant was outstanding—everything cooked to perfection. Breakfast was also very good overall, though the pancakes had a slightly tangy flavor. Location-wise, it’s perfect—close to stunning spots like Brúarfoss and within easy reach of Secret Lagoon. An unforgettable stay—highly recommend!

What an amazing place to stay. Perfect location, friendly staff, amazing food and comfortable beds. We also went on a horseback ride to a nearby waterfall that was AMAZING. I can't say enough good things about this place. We would return in a heart beat. Oh and they have an amazing trampoline for kids to bounce on.

The cows eating outside the window of the restaurant really gave meaning to the phrase “farm to table”! Staff pleasant but a few lessons on enhancing the guest experience would improve most ratings. Would stay here again.
