“This property strikes me as a rustic option best suited for flexible travellers. Its location provides immersion in the Icelandic landscape, but be prepared for unpaved access roads. While some may find the amenities basic, the guesthouse kitchen offers a social space, although potential noise and odours should be considered.”
