    This is a well equipped and relatively spacious cottage. The facilities are good and it's very clean. It's also very secluded, which also means a better chance of seeing the northern lights (we didn't, they're were clouds)

    The cabin is really clean, comfortable and charming. It has amazing views and is quiet. The owner is available if there is anything you need. I would stay here again and again. Sleeps 4.

    Very comfortable, clean, and large cottage for our family of four. The perfect place to stay on our way to see the puffins at Borgarfjörður Eystri. We arrived at the farm house rather late but our host was understanding and very kind.
