Check In direction is straightforward. Staff is very responsive. The cottage has all the essentials, including a kitchenette. This is located about a 10-min drive from the town that has a couple of supermarkets and a few restaurants.

Wonderful cottage located in a beautiful farm property with gorgeous view of the mountain and surroundings. Clean and spacious with all the needed amenities for our 2 nights stay. Very nice hostess and her beautiful Icelandic horses. The stay would have been perfect if the horse riding tour was available during our 2 nights stay. It is 15 minutes to the town center. Should take that into consideration when booking, Knowing all that, we would book the place again.

We loved our cabins (traveling with another couple). The whole set up is attractive and comfortable and we wanted to stay for longer than the two nights we were there. The staff were lovely and helpful.

Great spot to look for the northern lights

These little cabins are on beautiful property and the view has so far been unmatched on our trip! Everything you need is provided for a comfortable stay. We were even able to see northern lights one night of our stay (and probability was only a 3 out of 9!!)

Very well equipped and comfortable cottage for our 2 day stay. It was very peaceful and relaxing. The location is not very convenient for any activities, at least any that we knew of. The city of Egilstaddir is about a 20 minute drive. We really enjoyed our stay here!

This was a true highlight. Not fancy but clean, cozy, and completely everything you need for a quiet night. Read a book on the porch and watched the light change, made a little dinner, had a great sleep, etc. just lovely.

We had booked Stóra Sandfell Rooms and Cottages for two nights but ended up staying only one. The setting is very peaceful and quiet, surrounded by woods, and it was different from the other places we stayed along the Ring Road. The kitchen was nice to have, and I can see how the patio and grill would be lovely in better weather, though the rain kept us from really enjoying those. The cabin has a rustic cottage feel, which some travelers may really enjoy. My daughter had been excited to sleep in the loft, but she found several spiders and decided to sleep on the hard couch instead. The bedroom was extremely tiny, to the point that the door could not fully open, and the bed was probably the most uncomfortable one we slept in during our trip. We did not use the shower because we went to Vök Baths nearby. The location felt a little far out of town for what we needed, so we decided to skip our second night and move on to a different area. Overall, this could be a good stay for someone looking for a quiet, rustic cottage experience in a wooded setting, but the sleeping situation was not quite comfortable enough for us.
