Company information

Me and my husband are the owners of this guesthouse. For years we were farmers with cows and sheep but now the next generation has taken over the farm, while we focus on welcoming tourists. We love to live in rural areas, and find it best to have our family, children and grandchildren nearby. We try to travel in our beautiful country and our immediate surroundings but also to other countries, all over the world. We believe that if we know how it is to be a tourist, it makes us better hosts.

Property information

The guesthouse has been run for 30 years and focuses on receiving families and individuals. We started small, but with the growing demand we have increased the number of rooms. Good choice for families and nature lovers.

Neighbourhood information

Brunnhóll is in beautiful surroundings with views to the glaciers. A wide range of leisure activities and hiking trails to the mountains and the sea. Vatnajökull National Park is nearby. Brunnhóll on the farm.
