Excellent Getaway
We stayed at Vatnsholt for three days and it was a perfect escape from the busyness of Reykjavik. It served as our base to explore the peninsula.
The kitchen was well appointed, the beds were very comfortable and the scenery topped it all off. The skies were dark and that allowed us to see the norther lights. Fantastic place to stay, highly recommended.
