“What stands out is the dedication to service; it's clearly a family-run place, with a genuine warmth that makes a difference, and the location serves as a nice base to explore the attractions of the North. I particularly appreciate the effort to provide a varied homemade breakfast, even catering to specific dietary needs; plus, the option of relaxing in a hot tub after a day of exploring seals the deal. For a tranquil and hospitable base from which to see the best of Northern Iceland, this is certainly one to consider.”
