Foal season typically runs from May through September when we welcome additional foals into the Sodulsholt family. June features our sleppitur event when the horses are let out for the summer.

Experienced horsemen could reserve a horse for riding around the area including to the nearby beaches (extra fee). Our property also includes a river where you can test your skills at catching fresh Icelandic salmon (extra fee, summer only, bring your own sanitized gear).

Delightful Stay at our "Horse Home"

Our stay at Sodulsholt was amazing! Northern lights and horses out front the first night and morning, ease in seeing the peninsula full day, and outings to the Golden Circle and then retiring off of the beaten path. Beautiful views and all we needed for comfort. We can't wait to return and cannot recommend to others more!

Perfect cottage

The cottage was perfect for us. It is in the great location for exploring the Snaefellsnes. Good restaurant nearby and a comfortable place to come home to after a long day of hiking and sightseeing. I appreciated the laundry facilities.

Tolles Haus, ideal für Ausritte

Wir haben 3 entspannte Tage mit der Familie dort verbracht. Sehr nette Gastgeberin und kompetente Begleitung beim Ausritt. Ausritt ist an Wochentagen buchbar. Haben uns auch eine Angelkarte für den kleinen Fluss auf dem hofierenden Gelände gekauft. 6 (allerdings eher kleine) Bachforellen mit 2*2 Stunden Zeiteinsatz. Tipp: Probiert es unter der Brücke und beim Damm (auf der anderen Straßenseite). Auf der Halbinsel gibt viele interessante Ausflugsziele. Fazit: Volle 5*

Wonderful cottage fully equipped, great location

Wonderful cottage, clean, comfortable beds, equipped with anything you might need. Warm and wind proof. Beautiful property and felt secluded without being far off roads. Great location for exploring Snaefelles peninsula easily in 1-2 days. Some great, small restaurants nearby as well! Appreciated all the communication and suggestions for shopping before arrival. Great place, would love to stay again in summer.

Why they chose this property

This large property (over 1300 hectares or 3,200 acres) has it all! The view of the mountains, ocean, and free grazing horses are spectacular. We are conveniently located with easy access to the many sights that Snaefellsnes peninsula has to offer and more. The cottages were built in September 2015. I invite you to come for a visit and to take in the beauty of the area.

The property includes a private river where guests may fish for salmon (extra fee).
