Cosy historic house

A warm, cosy house decorated in older style as left by previous owners. Good access to Reykyavik and golden circle.

Spacious, warm and comfortable!

The house is in a fabulous location for visiting the 'must see' features of Iceland. Communication with the owner was perfect - all details of directions, accessing the key, wifi etc were given in plenty of time. I would be more than happy to recommend this accommodation.

Warm and comfortable

No problems in finding the house despite arriving in the dark. The house is very warm with lots of space in several rooms. We didn't use upstairs - there were only two of us, but the stairs were a bit steep so we chose the downstairs bedroom which was very comfortable. Very helpful host who responded quickly to all our questions, including sorting out the wifi which wasn't working when we arrived. One small downside is that the house is opposite a small filling station. It wasn't busy but the lights were on all night. Didn't spoil our stay though. Would recommend.

Amazing stay

What an amazing stay in Iceland! The house was perfect - great location to all the sights, warm, great shower, quiet and very close to the sea. There’s a perfect dark spot about 1 minute drive down the road and we were really lucky to see some really amazing Northern Lights two nights in a row. Grocery stores are about a 10 minute drive in to the next town - we would recommend ‘bonus’ for the best prices! If we were to come back to Iceland we would most definitely stay here again. Thank you :)
