Owners are very friendly and attentive to guests. Great breakfast. Very clean property and spacious rooms. You have to drive to get to the area as it is a little off the hiway, but mostly everyone drives and does an roadtrip anyway in Iceland. Overall Great value for money.

Beautiful property with wonderful hosts. Probably our favourite spot we stayed at during our trip. Rooms were spacious and clean, with bathrooms. The area around the property is also beautiful. The cherry on top was the waffles in the morning! I would go out of my way to stay here again.
