This is a beautiful, private cottage in a lovely setting. The sea is on one side and glaciers on another. It is just outside a small town with multiple restaurants and very near the national park.

Our family loves the quiet surroundings of our cottage and we try to spend as much time their ourselves as possible. But we also feel that we have to give visitors to Iceland the great possibility to experience our cottage.
