We have great reviews!

Very welcoming

Friendly and welcoming owners. Very helpful with local knowledge and close by eating places. Very good rooms with plenty of space plus areas to sit in the building. Off the maon road so no traffic noise.Great breakfast. Recommended 100%

Beautiful site

Very comfortable room, nice common area upstairs, very clean bathrooms and a delicious breakfast. The owner came to tell us about the northern lights sightings that evening after we went to bed. Of course, we got up and went outside! We were so close to the Icelandic horses which was awesome.

Welcoming and friendly

We were waiting to be picked up by a tour group and decided to go in, they opened their doors to us and gave us coffee while we waited. Beautiful interior and beautiful views, quiet and close to main roads!

So nice!

It was really good to stay there. The breakfast is top with handmade jam, lots of different teas, bread, jams, etc. The views are amazing and it is really clean! I would definitely come back but for a couple of days. The people there are also very kind and help you with your trip.
