    The 6km gravel road leading up to the property. (But I understand why many less used roads in Iceland are gravel. )

    We enjoyed this lovely oasis of seaside serenity. The birds the water and the gentle lapping of the ocean just lulls you to sleep. Could not ask for a better place to enjoy all the secrets of nature at your fingertips. Our host was amazing and very attentive, communication was great and we enjoyed a lovely breakfast before resuming our travels. Thank you so much for the opportunity to enjoy your wonderful home.

    Location was amazing. Unfortunately our weather was awful, so we didn't explore the property fully but it looked extraordinary through the windows, right on the coast - wished we could have explored low tide there. The host was awesome - he navigated us through the bad weather driving conditions and make a great breakfast. The facility is really nice with room upstairs and a large sitting/dining area downstairs. Overall a great place.

    Located in one of the amazing places near the beach. A cozy room with nice hospitality from the owner. We were the first Sri Lankans and probably the first visitors from South Asia to visit this place. Current owner has done some super transformation to the old house which was built over a century ago.

    Incredibly located guesthouse in a very calm bay right at the beach. Amazing host, great breakfast and beautifully renovated house. Since the place is rather remote, we would recommend to ask the host for suggestions regarding hikes, museums, activities. He nows the area incredibly well and recommend just the right activities! The guesthouse is the perfect place to experience wildlife, especially coastal birds.

    A bit windy, but that was true for much of Iceland.

    Incredible location-we had the place to ourselves and felt like the only people for miles of the coast. About 15 minutes to nearest town (Hofsos) with one of the best restaurants we visited in iceland (Retro Mathus).

    The long gravel accessroad is ok in general and poses no danger or challenge at any moment but is at one or two spots a bit rough for a toyota yaris.

    Magical location when the sky is blue, surrounded by nature, is everything that you came to Iceland for, amazingly friendly host.

    Nothing everything was fine

    Very unique location right at the beach, which produces the most spectacular sunsets. Takes a bit of a drive and is therefore a little secluded but very well worth it. Amenities all very clean and kitchen well equipped. Breakfast was heavenly especially the homemade pancakes. Staff was also very friendly and helpful

    For those looking for something in a city, this isn't it. For those looking for natural beauty, quiet and peacefull surroundings, this is your place. Very glad we happened on this by chance.

    Beautiful location on a beach in the country side. The rooms were modern and very comfortable. We used the kitchen to make our own dinner. This place is a perfect refuge. The host prepared breakfast and we enjoyed his company. Should have stayed longer.

    Nothing really.

    A beautiful guest house in a beautiful location with an amiable and attentive host! What a great find! Unfortunately we could only stay 1 night on our tour around Iceland, but it was enough to appreciate how special this place is! And we saw the aurora borealis for the first time there! Be prepared for a 6km drive along a rough track and a little peaceful isolation from the rest of the world......a great plus point for us. Very useful to be able to use the kitchen to prepare a meal. Thank you Valgeir for creating this place, for the nice breakfast and for the stimulating conversation!

    Stay here for an unforgettable experience

    The room we booked had wheelchair access which meant there was no door between the room and the bathroom ie no privacy. I wasn't aware of that beforehand so was in for a bit of a surprise when I walked in. If I knew about this it would probably stop me from booking the place but I'm so glad I didn't because I would miss the chance to stay at this magical place. I understand the owner is planning to install the door very soon so, this won't be an issue anymore in the future plus there is an additional toilet on the ground floor that can be used should you wish to do so. Please note there is no TV or wifi at this property (my mobile network was working fine) but that just means you get to enjoy the surroundings without any modern day distractions. There are books and a piano in the lounge.

    The location is simply stunning. If you like beautiful scenery away from everything, this is the place to stay. The house itself is amazing and the rooms are lovely and spacious. We were lucky as the night was clear when we stayed there and we had the opportunity to see the northern lights which added to what was already a very special experience. I visited Iceland three times and stayed in various places and this was hands down my favourite.
