The room was large, comfortable, and a clothes washer was available in the room! The key was in the room door lock when we arrived, but we didn't know that, so we waited until the property owner showed up on schedule!

My stay at the guesthouse was a bit of a mixed bag.
My stay at the guesthouse was a bit of a mixed bag. On the positive side, the self-check-in process was a breeze, and I was pleasantly surprised by the level of cleanliness and the spaciousness of my room. The facilities, including the WiFi and kitchen, were top-notch, and I had no complaints on that front.
However, there were a few quirks that left me feeling a bit unsure. The surrounding farm was somewhat peculiar, but I must admit that I'm not exactly an expert on farming, and I didn't book this place for its agricultural charm.
The absence of any human interaction with the host was a tad disconcerting. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, and a friendly welcome or some local insights would have been appreciated.
One noteworthy detail was the water quality, which had a distinct sulfur smell. While this might be normal for the area, it would have been helpful if the host had mentioned it beforehand.
In summary, the guesthouse had fantastic facilities, but the lack of host interaction and the peculiar farm surroundings left me with mixed feelings. Plus, a heads-up about the unique water scent would have been a considerate touch.
However, all in all, good to very good value for the money.

This small town is a good base for exploring the area, including horse riding at Icelandic Horse Tours in Helluland and a trip to Drangey Island with Drangey Tours. There is a nice exhibit on the Icelandic Civil War (ca 1230) and Iceland's oldest bakery. A short walk up to the cemetery provides a nice view.

Wonderful museum in town ( fun for kids - has virtual reality experience) More museoms in surrounding area. Many more areas to explore and activities to partake in. Excellent tourist information staff in Varmahid.
The whole place was really nice! They've just finished refurbishing the common area and it looks like some 5 star hotels! The entrance was not entirely finished, but they were putting a lot of work and effort into it.
We were the only guests the night we stayed, and it was great!
We were allowed to use the hot tub too, which is outside, and provides an overview of the amazing valley the guesthouse is in.
It is a farm too, and you can see horses and some other animals!
Upon check-in, we were offered the opportunity to upgrade to a room at the Tindastool Hotel & we took it. The keystone in the fireplace downstairs in the dining area says it was built in 1820 & the owners have exerted a huge effort to provide modern comfort (plumbing, electricity, wifi) and safety (sprinklers, smoke detectors). Our room was clean, cozy & comfy, the beds & comforters were excellent. We had no complaints with our stay!
Love the classical European style of the hotel. The decorations make it really vibey. The wifi is strong, and the room offers the most comprehensive package we've seen in all Iceland hotels we've seen. There's body lotion, tea bags, tissue paper, a big trashcan, a big table (though broken), and a big TV. The reception and the dining area are very cozy, and there's also a hot bath outside.
We arrived in the evening after a long drive so were delighted that we could make use of the hot tub outside, it was so warm and relaxing! The hotel itself was really charming with an antiquey feel to it. We were given a huge room which was very quaint. It was very clean and comfortable and we loved the history of the place. The staff were lovely and helpful too.
It was so nice to have some extra space to spread out after several nights in tiny places. The location was perfect as we made our way around the ring road. The view was spectacular and the host was very nice! I also think it was the best shower we had in our 10 day trip. Huge bathroom and shower which is hard to find in Iceland!
We felt very welcome and enjoyed our stay. The house has a fantastic view - especially the sunsets over the mountains and the sea were breathtaking - and is not too far from Sauðárkrókur where you can have good food or take the bus. The rooms, bathroom and kitchen were all nice and clean! We‘ll definitely be coming back!!
Beautiful setting in the village of Holar, Iceland. So much historical significance here - too much to mention here - look it up on Google. Comfortable room, very clean, ease of checking in, good breakfast, individual router in the room so excellent wifi connection, great shower.
Beautiful view of the mountains It's located on a farm and fun to watch the horses, dogs and other animals up l
ise. There was a beautiful kitchen for guests to use. The typical Iceland breakfast was offered in the morning. Located very close to a farm museum which was excellent.
I really liked the hot pot. But also the very friendly staff as well as our enterprising Breakfast Room in the basement.
I forgot somethin in the hotel and they got in touch with me. Two days later I got it back. I am very grateful how helpful they were. Thank you so much!
I would recommend this place to anyone thinking about staying in Sauðárkrókur. Perfect if you're traveling alone and probably for a couple aswell. It was really cozy and clean, definitelly worth the price, wish I could stay longer.
Watched a round-up of 80 Icelandic Ponies every evening that were lead past our lodging, then saw them be brought back every morning. Spectacular! Kitchen terrific, staff very helpful in helping plan side trips.
Great hotel, clean warm rooms, friendly and helpful staff and lovely breakfast. Quirky old hotel in a lovely location. Highly recommend staying here, particularly during the winter. 👍👍👍
Very good garage apartment, good value for money. Seems pretty recently made up and had all the essentials. Good location within walking distance from everything @Sauðárkrókur.
Such a charming hotel, oldest hotel in iceland! Lots of nice touches in the room we haven't seen anywhere else on our trip. Loved the hot tub and the friendly cat!
