Grothermal hot tub all to our very new fresh and clean cabin. Great place to stay in Iceland. The onsite restaurant had happy hour and amazing food!
The best place we've stayed in Iceland so far! The cottage was clean, charming, and well-serviced. And the onsite restaurant was great, too!

The Girl that checked us in, served the food and checked us out the next day was great. I feel like she’s the only person that works there lol.
It was great to have a private hot tub. Only complaint was the kitchen area in the cabin smelt like seafood but at least the sleeping areas did not.
