“This guesthouse places you within walking distance of both Kvernufoss and Skogafoss waterfalls, and the staff earns high marks for friendliness. I note that breakfast is included, a worthwhile perk given the rural setting. While the building shows its age, the location and communal vibe are definite assets for active travelers.”
