Holt Inn

Holt Inn

10/10 Excellent
"We had such an amazing stay at Holt Inn! Cindy was the sweetest host and really made our stay special. She was super friendly, gave us great recommendations, and made us feel so welcome. We were the only guests there during the winter season, but she still made us a whole breakfast buffet with warm pastries in the morning and really good coffee. 🥐☕️ She also let us borrow bikes to ride down to the beach, which had incredible views. The whole area was unreal - surrounded by fjords and ocean, with sheep on the farms, seals, and tons of birds. The inn itself was super cute, cozy, and warm. It was such a unique experience and definitely one of the most memorable parts of our Iceland trip. We’re so glad we stayed here!"
