This hotel is set on a farm within the Golden Circle Region, 15 minutes’ drive from Gulfoss Waterfall and Geysir hot water springs. It offers horse riding during the summer season, traditional cooking and a geothermal outdoor hot tub. We had a truly wonderful stay at this farm hotel in November. The peaceful, quiet location was exactly what we needed after a long day of driving. The room was spacious and we were particularly impressed by the interior design of the bathroom. Also I can recommend the dinner, the meat was delicious and the dining area was very cozy.

All units come with a terrace with mountain views, a fully equipped kitchenette with a microwave and a toaster, and a private bathroom with walk-in shower. A fridge, a stovetop and kitchenware are also provided, as well as a kettle. At the country house, every unit includes bed linen and towels. The room is located next to a small lake, making it really quiet and cozy. The layout was great — warm and homey — though you do need to be mindful about conserving hot water when showering. At night, it sounded like there were little animals scratching around the house, which actually added a nice touch of being close to nature.

This hotel thinks of everything — from the beautiful design to the thoughtful amenities. We saw breathtaking Northern Lights, but what truly made our stay special were the owners. They kindly let us visit the stables and shared their world with us. I’d come back again and again — I could easily stay for months!
