About this property

Beautiful home between glacier and sea, Iceland

PERFECT PLACE TO EXPLORE ICELAND. STUNNING VIEW TO THE GLACIER AND SEA
Kjarvalströð is a new luxury 'old style' privately owned cottage located in the spectacular and unique surroundings of Snaefellsnes on the west coast of Iceland. To Hellnar, it takes approx. 2.5 hours to drive from Reykjavik. The National Park is only 5 min away. Enjoy the magnificent views of the glacier Snaefellsjökull, the surrounding mountains and over the bay Faxaflói. The cottage is one of a few cottages designed as Icelandic houses from the 1920s. There are plenty of things to do and see in the area such as: beautiful hiking, whale watching, sailing around the many islands, historical places, bird watching, horse riding, skiing and sightseeing on the glacier.

If you are looking for a quiet area to relax or want to explore the unspoiled nature and many wonderful activities in the area, the cottage is the perfect place!

My thoughts
It was nice and spacious. A lovely location. Issues - Firstly, we arrived to find dirty dishes, garbage still in the bathroom and overall not cleaned properly. This isn't an issue with the owner as they were responsive when we brought it up but still we had to clean. The dirty linens were left in the washer, which we understood would happen. We were expected to clean them, thats ok as we were leaving ours in the washer also. Our issue was we had no laundry detergent, on emailing the owners we were told to check the shed. There was none, the owner did not reply to that? Not sure what they expected us to do? We ultimately purchased detergent at our expense and washed the linens. This was not acceptable to us. We then determined the sink in the bathroom wasn't draining properly so again emailed the owners and asked them to have it fixed. Their response was "we can't come from Rekjavik on such short notice and there is drain cleaner in the shed pour some down the drain". The unit is less than 2hrs from Rekjavik and we were staying 4 nights? Not acceptable to us. Lastly the add stated that internet was included. Our booking was at the end of a month from the 25th to 29th. We had reasonable internet the first night then nothing. Turns out they had limits on the data and once they were reached you couldn't even send an email. The owners response was "if you need internet go to the hotel nearby or purchase a card for internet. Not acceptable to us. Thank you

Everything nice and fine but just a little but
The house has everything and makes one feel like home from the get go. The location was perfect for us with hiking opportunities at the doorstep. The little but is just, that we got a list of things to clean and how to clean and so on. That's basically fine, if one knows in advance. We checked our booking and could not find these instructions. We complied, because we wanted to feel someone else as home as we felt. Our suggestion: Just inform in advance and one can choose knowing. Despite that little inconvenience, we highly recommend a stay.

Sehr schönes Haus in einer tollen Umgebung
Das Haus liegt in einem landschaftlich sehr schönen Gebiet und ist für 4 Personen sehr großzügig und sehr komfortabel ausgestattet. Toller Blick auf den Gletscher und das Meer. Schön ruhig und erholsam. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und wären gerne länger geblieben. WLAN ist sehr schwach und nahezu nicht nutzbar. Das Warten auf den Abschluss von Waschmaschine, Wäschetrockner und Geschirrspüler muss man vor Abreise einkalkulieren (dauert Stunden). Wir würden jederzeit wieder dort Urlaub machen. LIEBEN DANK :-)

Sehr gemütliches Ferienhaus
Wir waren für 5 Nächte dort, haben und von Anfang an sehr wohl gefühlt. Super gemütlich eingerichtetes Haus. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Die Lage ist natürlich auch ein absoluter Traum. So idyllisch.
