Clean, modern accommodation with rustic vibes. Well equipped kitchen. The highlight is the hot pool, such a lovely treat at the end of a long day driving and sightseeing! We'll situated as a base for touring the Snaefellsnes Peninsula.

Home away from home plus more.

Perfect for a family with a toddler. It was a large house that we stayed at and had so many activities. The setting was perfect, the furnished kitchen offered much needed items and allowed for cooking heated meals and just to relax and enjoy. We plan on returning to this location on our return trip. Highly recommend.

It was so clean, well organized, and comfortable. I loved soaking in the hot bathwater after a stormy day. It is very conveniently located to tour Snaefellesness.
Loved having a bathtub!

What an incredible property! We stayed in the triple room which was spacious, clean and organized. The shared bathrooms and kitchen were immaculate. The restaurant was delicious and accommodating (especially breakfast). The hot springs were glorious and while I didn’t cold plunge in the pond, others did and it was scenic and wonderful.

The property had a nice layout and a beautiful view as well. The cabins are very nice and had good kitchens. Was able to see the Northern Lights, which were fantastic. Only issue - if you could even call it that - was that checkout was at 10 and no one was at reception (building locked) so we had to just leave the key in the cabin.

We rented the bigger house for our family of 6. While the house was great and very clean and comfortable, the hot tub did not work, which was disappointing. The shared hot tub was in a very beautiful spot, but a little unkept with lots of algae floating in the water. The location was beautiful and viewers were stunning.

This property was easily my favorite out of the 5 places we stayed. The property itself was fantastic, they had everything you needed there. The restaurant was wonderful, we got the fish of the day and the parmesan soup, it was great. Then the room was exactly what we needed, the shared kitchen was amazing with the designated drawers for each rooms food and the cleanliness. We also used the laundry room while we were there which was very convenient. Then there was the thermal bath and saina area. We did not use the sauna, but the thermal bath and cold plunge area was extremely nice, along with the changing area, very clean and they also had hot water out there to shower in before and after the thermal bath. Overall I would highly recommend the facility.

The place is a gem! Exquisite, well taken care of property with many conveniences. To start, the cabins are all new and extremely clean. We loved that there was a bed for each of our 5 family members, and very cool that they can accommodate larger groups in larger cabins. The views were magnificent, and we loved that there were sheep on the property. The sauna was beautiful and the surrounding stream was very peaceful. The food at the restaurant was A , but pricey. I guess this is to be expected in Iceland. The restaurant itself had a lot of personality! We would definitely come here again and highly recommend.

Loved our 2br appt with laundry attached. We checked in at the restaurant after hours at 9:40pm, smooth and kind. We were only there for under 12hrs as check out is at 10am. We were bummed when we saved showers for our stop in the hot spring only to be told that the hot spring was an additional fee for each of us. We skipped it. I think you should include the fee in the stay, even if you increase the overnight price.
