The property was strategically located, making it easy to travel and visit the South coast of Iceland. It was also a little away from the city lights, allowing us to catch the Northern Lights twice during our stay. The staff was so helpful and gave us a lot of good suggestions on where to travel and eat. We had initially booked a small room with two bunk beds and a double bed. However, upon arrival, we saw another room option more suited for our duration of stay (8 days). The management and staff were kind enough to upgrade us and provided us with the best comfort and stay. We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely recommend them to our friends and family.
We loved everything about the property especially their coffee and juice station.

It was warm and cosy and the staff were lovely. No frills but has everything you need. We travelled in winter and there was more than adequate heating and doonas etc. the central main house area is great. Has a restaurant a bar and a games area for pool etc or if you want to read. We came late but the chef made some delicious mushroom soup just for us for dinner. We really enjoyed our stay
We stayed in the single cottages and the rooms were on the smaller side so if you have a lot of luggage etc it can get a bit pokey if you were staying there long term. The front entrance of the cottages does get a bit icey and slippery in winter so be careful with stepping out

this guesthouse has a good value and location for who drives at iceland. People are friendly and help us warm the meal. They have a large public living room for entertainments. The bed room is good but not large. The shower water is warm in the cold October. The room is also warm for sleeping. I would recommend this guesthouse for tourists.

Friendly and helpful staff. Comfy rooms. Nice facility with activities and a restaurant. It's a little out on its own, so bring food with you or plan to eat there. It's a great spot to see the Northern lights; you just need to wait out the motion lights.
It's not so bad; it's just something to be aware of. When it is cold, the building with the rooms is not connected to the main building with the dining hall.

The cottage was new, clean and quite well equipped (including roller shutters that allowed to have a dark environment even in Iceland!). Very nice view from the room. The staff was very kind and helpful. The structure provides also a restaurant and a shared rest area equipped with board games and darts, usable for free. Complimentary coffee and hot beverages for the guests that stay in the cottages. Kettles available on request, free of charge.
The cottages are very small (both the bedroom and the bathroom). We had to leave part of our luggage in the car due to the lack of available space.

The staff were super friendly and very helpful. We arrived late and they were very accommodating. The place was very clean. The common place is nice to hang out.
Out cottage was very small. The bathroom was also very small. Much smaller than we had anticipated. If we had know, we may have opted to stay in the main guesthouse. However, if you want privacy and don't mind the smallness then the cottages might be for you.

It was a great stay in the middle of nowhere! Situated within a vast property surrounded by green pastures and horses, it was beautiful inside and out! Rooms were small but cosy and beautifully decorated (very unexpectedly modern considering the location). There were even earplugs, eye shades and hotel slippers offered!! The room had a gorgeous view of the property with vast greenness all around. The price of the room was very reasonable at 150 eur compared to other accommodations in the region. Great value for money, highly recommended!!!
Breakfast was a bit limited for 16 eur but then again everything is expensive in Iceland! The quality of the spread was very good though.

It's an old farm, the guestrooms are located in a separate new building. Rooms are ensuite which is not that common in Iceland in this price range. They have provided eyeshades and ear plugs which is a nice gesture (altough I did not need to use them). Reception / breakfast is is a separate building, the breakfast was well worth the additional 2.000 ISK. There are tea and some other drinks also that are available free of charge throughout the day. The mostly Polish staff was nice and attentative. There is nothing in the immediate vincinity of the farm, but you can reach all major sights in the golden circle area by car easily. The guesthouse is also a good base to explore the area with Skogafoss and Seljalandsfoss waterfalls and all the sights up until Vik. The closest town is Selfoss, there you'll find petrol stations, cheap shopping options (Bonus) and also the local public bath is worth a visit (or even two). Urriðafoss is a hidden gem, a nice waterfall, you can reach it from the guesthouse on a gravel road, you should not miss that (also reachable directly from road 1 if you or your car would not prefer gravel roads that much).

The continental breakfast was excellent and there was a lot of choice (including some local fish specialities). We really appreciated the outstanding kindness and professionality of the girl working at the reception and at the restaurant. We could get any kind of hot drinks (large choice) for free until 11 p.m.. The location is really superb, in the middle of green fields with horses, by a beautiful lake. Very close to many important attractions and to Selfoss.
The quality of the dinner. Quite expansive and not really at the height of our expectations.

Clean, well-appointed rooms, very comfortable beds. Wonderfully friendly and helpful staff. One evening, they alerted all of us who were in the common area that the Northern lights were visible, which was magical to see. Wide range of breakfast options. We ate at their restaurant one night, their daily fish special was very good. The pizza was very good as well.
