    The room was great, good lighting and places to put your stuff! Very warm atmosphere, staff was great. Food was excellent, the best of the trip as far as choices and quality. Nice seating areas in reception. The cows were a bonus!

    While the hotel is a little older, the rooms were much larger with more space than any of the other 4 we stayed in. Breakfast and dinner were some of the best on the 13 day trip. The bathroom was nice, not large but accommodating. The staff was...

    I loved the room, the well cared-for cows, the restaurant, the authentic gift shop and the kind and helpful staff (particularly in reception)

    We especially appreciated the architecturally appealing reception and restaurant area, which is attached to a former cowshed—now a demonstration farm—that gives the place real character. The guest rooms are located a few hundred meters away, in...

Company info

I love to travel and see new things. I enjoy good, fresh food and that is the reason for why we focus on fresh, healthy and local food. As I am a farmer I love my animals.

Property info

Our property is originally a dairy farm, owned by the same family for more than 100 years. Some years ago we decided to open the farm for guests. They can experience the real farm life by watching our cows through a glass window from the restaurant and even try warm and fresh milk during milking time. We specialize in homemade and healthy products in our restaurant - from farm to table. In 2004 we decided to build a guesthouse and now we have 26 rooms, all with private bathrooms and most with floor heating system. Traditional Icelandic breakfast is served in our Vogafjós restaurant, 3 minutes walk from the guesthouse. The rooms are classical and well furnished and designed to let our guests feel good and relax in a unique natural environment. There is free wifi in all rooms and public areas. We are open all year round.

Neighborhood info

Our neighbourhood has a lot to offer. Unique nature, tranquility, rich birdlife, geothermal areas, volcanoes and much, much more. In our area you can always find some activities that suit you. Super-Jeep tours, dogsledding, bike tours, snow-shoeing, cross-country skiing and hiking are only examples of what you can do in the lake Mývatn area. It is also amazing to travel to the highlands during the summertime and the lake Mývatn area is an ideal place to depart from.
