“In Lysudalur, this guesthouse strikes me as a particularly good base for exploring the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, especially for families wanting space and a taste of rural Iceland. I appreciate the unpretentious comfort and the surprisingly good food, plus its proximity to both the national park and local activities. A solid, unflashy choice, in my view.”
