The property was very quiet, peaceful and relaxing. It is in a beautiful rural setting. There are several areas around the property that invite guests to sit down and relax. The breakfast was wonderful. There was a variety of options available and all were fresh and delicious.

A wonderful horse farm on a beautiful country road. Cute private cottages with a porch and adequate kitchen. We were there in the winter and lucky enough to see the northern lights from the porch. Easy to drive to nearby towns for sightseeing or groceries. Best breakfast buffet of the three places we stayed in Iceland.

One of our favorite stays in Iceland! The main house has great dining options (dinner and breakfast) as well as a very friendly and accommodating staff. Walking around the property and petting some of the horses completed the experience. The guest houses were beautiful, clean, and secluded from the daily hustle. Highly recommended lodging in Iceland.

This was our favorite stay on our entire journey of 8 nights and 6 different hotels. The food was amazing! When I got home I cooked lamb goulash and scalloped potatoes. It wasn't as good as yours, but reminded me of our wonderful stay. Thanks.

We stayed in the single cabin room/suite (of which there are 8 on the hillside). You take a nice paved road in from highway 1 until you reach the guesthouse area. Everyone is super friendly and the rooms are comfortable and quaint. We purchased the breakfast add-on and that was delicious. It was a great experience as part of our travels.
