picturesque cottage

I stayed here with my mother and brother on our way from Hvolsvöllur to the Westfjords and this quiet little cabin was an excellent place to stay along the way. The cabin is easily accessible from the parking but stands a little away from the main building and has pretty views of the river. We had a very comfortable stay with all the amenities we needed to make ourselves breakfast, although there is also one available for purchase in the restaurant.
