The breakfast was very good with lots of options and extra toppings for cereal; bread, etc. the staff and especially the husband and wife owners are very nice, helpful, and friendly.
Everything. The hosts were helpful, kind and clear with instructions. The place is absolutely gorgeous. The cabin has everything you need - the hot tub is just a plus to all of the positives. Peace and quiet, clean, perfect place to grill a steak with a view. There was nespresso machine with a lot of capsules even tho we brought our own. The design is beautiful. I have no negatives. Thank you for your service!
Property was on a small farm with horses and chickens. We stayed in the little cottage on the river. Super cute and peaceful location. Cottage was small but served the purpose. Host was very sweet.
The guesthouse was very spacious, especially for our party of four, and having a washer and dryer was extremely convenient. The house was well furnished and comfortable. We appreciated the basket of snacks, although we didn’t use most of them. It was fun seeing the cows and sheep and birds in the field all around us. It was a great place to watch sunsets too :) Overall, this was a great home base for Húsavík and Mývatn.
We stayed at this guesthouse the first time in 2016. Since then, the property has expanded quite a bit, with a few more houses built further down the hillside. This time, we stayed here as a group of 7 people and were handed a full house all to ourselves.
The facilities and service were outstanding. The staff bent over backwards for all our quirks, including our 10-year old picky eater and an unusual request for a breakfast birthday "cake" for one in our party.
This is a great place, great value not far from highlights like Lake Myvatn and the nearby fishing / whale-watching town of Husavik.
We will definitely be staying here next time we visit Northern Iceland.
Ari and Freydis were so warm and welcoming and easy to get in touch with. We arrived in the middle of a snow storm and they had plowed everything for us. The dogs are amazing and friendly (but they will keep them inside if you don’t like or want to be around dogs). The cabin was cute and homey and was everything we had wanted in farm stay cabin guesthouse. We saw the northern lights here and could see them from inside the cabin.
We stayed here in middle of April(still freezing cold and snowy). It was still low season, so we were only one group stayed this place. Very quiet, and they have huge professional kitchen!! Nice and warm and they have little outside bath tab. Everything amazing!! If you are looking for quiet and peaceful place, I totally recommend it.

We were let down by Viator who cancelled a whale watching reservation we had made without what we regarded as a satisfactory explanation. However we were able to reserve at a slightly different time by going direct to the company in Husavik. The tour, on a RIB, was expensive but superb and ultimately worth the money. If we were going again we would happily spend more time in the region because it is a good base for coastal, mountain and volcanic side trips, and it would be easy to fill four or five days instead of the two we gave ourselves.
