    All was exeptional.

    The house was absolitely perfect. Spacious, comfy, with all utilities and equipment u might think of, it was built with precision and care. We lived the old-fashioned built-in furniture and the huge windows with perfect view. The location was also great, close to the town but in the middle of nowhere.

    It was the last place for me and my family before leaving Iceland and we are really happy we chose it. The views are amazing, house was comfortable, it was a really warm welcome from host. Also you have chance to meet the horses. Also location is great if you want to visit west part of Iceland

    Super clean, spacious, and comfortable, perfect for a big group or family! Best booking decision of my whole Iceland trip! You can tell the host really put in a lot of heart into making sure her guests feel welcome and comfortable. It was super interesting to learn about the history of this place and the host even gave us a little tour of her farm as we were leaving to see the newborn lamb. It really gave perspective into seeing what life is like in Iceland instead of just being a traveller passing by. Thank you so much, this stay was one of the highlights of our trip!!

    This was the perfect place to punctuate our trip midway! there’s virtually zero light-pollution at night and the area and church are steeped in history, even back to settlement. Svanhildur is welcomed us with familiar warmth and gave us a house tour to help us get oriented. The house is brimming with nostalgic details and woven together by the genuine warmth of home!

    Great experience from start to finish. Isolated quiet farm house, yet close enough to the road and a great starting point to golden circle and Sneafellsens. The house is very clean and well kept, kitchen is equipped with everything you need and more. Beds and bedding comfortable and owner is very attentive and friendly. Highly recommend!

    That we hadn’t booked a longer stay!

    Everything. This place is so beautiful and peaceful. It’s really special and we feel so lucky to have found it. In addition to spacious, comfortable living space, the views and property are extraordinary. The house is set back 1.7 miles from the road. My son went running one morning and encountered a small herd of horses. You can see views of the glacier. Sunrise and sunset are magnificent. The owner was lovely and responsive to questions. Kitchen was well equipped and we recommend stopping off in Borgarnes to get groceries—it’s about a 20 minute drive.

    We loved the farm guesthouse. It is on a lovely farm property and we enjoyed watching the sheep on the property while we ate our meals and talked about our adventures. The hosts were absolutely lovely and showed us around the farm and shared some of the history of the area. The location was perfect to stay before and after exploring the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. Would definitely recommend!

    - the kitchen feels dated - the living room with the TV is more like a hallway, we didn't spend any time there

    This was the last accomodation during our trip through Iceland, we spent three nights here and it was perfect to calm down and relax after an exhausting journey. We were two couples and the house was easily big enough for us, it is well suited for way bigger groups. There are two very new and stylish bathrooms and the bedrooms feel new as well. Everything felt super clean and the huge kitchen was well equipped. The location is great to explore the Snæfellsnes peninsula in a day trip or visit the Bifröst area and much more. Our host was very friendly and helpful and provided us with lots of information on what to do in the area and even invited us to visit them when they were gathering the sheep. A very special treat for me was that I was able to see the northern lights easily from just behind the house. Of course you still need luck with the weather but the farm is in a very dark environment with only very little light pollution, so you can easily spot the northern lights if they occur(For the stargazing enthusiasts: this is a Bortle 3 or maybe even Bortle 2 class area!). You even get the best angle from the kitchen so you don't have to spend the entire night outside freezing and waiting for them, just wait inside until it's worth going outside. I took some amazing pictures here, just behind the house without much effort. I am very happy with this accomodation as the finale of our trip!

    No clothes dryer.

    Airy, comfortable, quiet home with amazing, seemingly magical vibe. The family lore runs deep here and I appreciated knowing the history of the house and the property. Pastoral view with sheep keeping us company for some of the day. Well appointed kitchen and clothes washer was much appreciated after many dusty days of travel. Owners were gracious hosts and very keen to ensure we enjoyed our stay. Easy access to bojarnes and a great place to use as base camp for exploring the snaefulnes peninsula or just doing a creative retreat.

    Seriously no complaints, couldn't have been better!

    Great location for day tripping the Snaefellsnes peninsula while only being 15 minutes off the ring road. The house is completely remodeled on the inside but they kept the unique features of this farmhouse, especially the vintage features in the kitchen. We had a group of 7, so the 2 bathrooms and 5 bedrooms were great for us. So much room to lounge and take in the mountains and sheep while drinking coffee in the morning. This is a newer listing so take advantage of the availability before everyone finds this gem. Will stay again if we find ourselves in that part of the world!
