Our stay here was great, we loved the views of the horses so near, the privacy of having our own cabin, and we got a surprise visit from a very cute and friendly cat. The host was reachable via phone when we had a question, the self check in was convenient and the kitchenette was useful. Plenty to see in the vicinity - ferry about 20mins away to visit Vestmannaeyjar island.

We really liked our accommodation that was exactly like on pictures. There was a hay stack in front of our cottage so we had a great view on the horses from our bed. Kitchen came with a dishwasher and Nespresso. Bathroom was well supplied. The whole cottage felt luxurious and sophisticated in the country side. There were some Icelandic cloaks for us to use. We wish we could have stayed longer…

OMG!!! Highly highly recommend this experience. We went and feed horses. They do not come up to your personal cabin, but you can go and pet/feed them snacks inside of fence, we brought apples, cut them in pieces and horses seem to enjoy it. And toiletries in shower, omg!! That was some luxury experience.

Arrived after two flights and a two hour drive from Reykjavik to be told they did not have a reservation for us and no availability despite having booked and prepaid six months in advance and having a confirmation from Expedia. Total disaster.

This was the best stay in our entire trip of Iceland! Alina was an amazing host, very attentive and welcomed us in. She made sure we had all necessities taken care of. They had the option to have a true Viking experience with tasting and option to view all the horses on property. The horses did come right to the edge of the cabins and were able to wake up to them. Very very clean, warm cabin with amenities included. Will 100% be back!

We saw some pretty incredible sites on our trip to Iceland, but this was easily the highlight of our stay. There was a day during our trip where we were going to take a ferry to the Westman Islands. But my kids begged us to just stay on property and hang with the horses. It was such a special experience. The horses are the most docile horses I’ve ever been around. They’re curious, friendly, playful. They walk right up to you! The cabin was clean and very comfortable. Saying goodbye to the horses actually triggered tears from my two kids. We may just have to come back to Iceland and stay here the whole time.
