Le Meilleur de notre séjour

Au calme, nous avions loué un cottage. La décoration n y est pas moderne mais on s y sent bien! Accueil chaleureux, le meilleur des petites déjeuners de notre séjour. Et notre hôte nous guide pour repartir suivant l état des routes

Excellent for a guest house

This guesthouse is very good for the area and type of accommodation. Very friendly and quiet. No hassle Or waste of time to check in or out. Dinner was amazing and above average in Iceland (balance quality-price was quite good). Breakfast very good (by far very close or even better that most 4*hotels that I have ever been). Very cozy and warm room in a particular cold area.

Fantastisk oplevelse

Fantastisk sted! Det skal opleves, fantastisk service og rigtig dejlig mad. Hyggelig atmosfære med høns og ænder i haven i dejlig landlig omgivelser. Hyggelig retro indretning. Billigt og du får mega meget for pengene!
