We loved this sweet house. We could easily walk to the beach and cliffs trail and the cafe. It had a great layout of living space to accommodate our family of 4, with 2 large teenagers. It was a beautiful location to explore the peninsula. Would love to come back again.

We loved this little house. Such an incredible location, with gorgeous mountain views as well as glimpses of the sea. We were a family of five, Mum and Dad plus 3 large teenage/adult children, and there was plenty of room for us all. The wifi, dishwasher, television, washing machine, cooker etc all worked fine. The shower was a bit weak but ok.The house was very clean, the sofa and chairs were comfortable and the beds, duvets and linens were lovely. Communication with the host was great.The access to the upper floor is by a staircase ladder, which might be tricky for someone with mobility issues. As stated, you need to clean the house and wash all the bed linen and towels before you leave - which will take a couple of hours - make sure you have enought time to do that. Hellnar is a cluster of houses and buildings near to the shore - there's a nice cafe for breakfast or lunch. Not much else nearby so stock up on food to bring with you.The Snaefellsnes peninsula has so much to offer - enjoy!

Hellnar Cottage

The cottage was perfect for our stay in Snaefellnes Pennisula. The cottage was spacious, clean, and contained everything we needed. The host was very responsive, helpful, and accommodating. The location was beautiful and within an hour’s drive of everything we wanted to see and do (many were within 30 minutes). We would definitely stay here again if given the chance!

From the moment we arrived, we felt at home. It was comfortable and peaceful. We had everything we needed and it was a calming and comfortable base to explore this beautiful & awe-inspiring area of Iceland. It was also the perfect home in which to sit with a coffee, listen to music, put together a puzzle, and spend time relaxing with my family. I recommend it highly!

Peaceful retreat

Loved my time at this beautiful cottage. So well appointed and every detail thought of. Was looking for a getaway with some solitude and this was the perfect place. Took walks in the area and stopped in the small cafe for a cappuccino one morning and a glass of wine the next afternoon. Had a wonderful meal at the hotel in Budir near the Black Church. Just a great place to stay when exploring the Western Peninsula. Would definitely return!

A Comfortable Home Base to Explore the Snaefellsbaer Peninsula

My wife and I spent four nights in this duplex cottage in the town of Hellnar on the Snaefellsbaer Peninsula. We were greeted by an amazing display of the Northern Lights on our first night. The place was comfortable and quiet and had all the amenities needed to feel like home for a few days. The views are stunning--the sea in one direction and mountains and the volcano that dominates the west end of the peninsula in the other. There are several little places to eat within a 5-10 minutes drive and even more if you're willing to drive 30-45 minutes. Two things to note. First, all the bedrooms are upstairs and the staircase (really more like a ladder) is very steep--going up isn't too bad, but coming down can be a little scary. Second, the bathroom is tight. We adapted and it was fine. Overall, the home was a great place to explore the Snaefellsbaer Peninsula.

The location is amazing and the rental itself had no issues. My bigger issues is that it is “self clean,” which I normally have no problem with; I love leaving rentals as clean as possible anyways. However, this rental obscenely asks that you wash and dry ALL linens and towels before leaving (true, the last load can be left in the dryer). After using four of the five beds and cleaning in the morning, we were left with a mountain of linens and towels to wash in a single morning. It was an impossible, stressful task that took hours and required us to call the manager to work out some sort of arrangement. I wouldn’t stay here unless you want to waste 5 hours on the day of your departure on washing. Additionally, there are multiple signs in the rental with the check out rules and instructions, but they were markedly different, leaving us very confused by what was expected of us. The owner was kind and understanding. This self cleaning task just felt impossible.

A wonderful experience

My wife and I have just returned from an 8 day stay in this delightful property. The cottage itself is spotless and well appointed; the furniture in the sitting area is very comfortable, as is the dining area; the kitchen is well equipped, with a very good selection of dishes, glassware, pots and pans etc. All appliances ( range, oven, dishwasher, washer, dryer, microwave) are modern and in good order. Some rather steep stairs lead to three bedrooms and a cosy sitting area upstairs. The beds and bedding are high quality and extremely comfortable. As this trip was my fifth to Iceland, we felt no need to be on the move and change locations. It was a real treat to spend the entire trip exploring the Snaefellsness Peninsula in depth. We were out and active each day, and agreed that the coastal hikes were ( for us) best enjoyed in inclement weather….it seemed to suit the drama of the landscape. This is simply a wonderful region. Communication with the host was clear and efficient, the check in and out procedures were well explained, and we both agreed that this was one of our favourite trips. Highly recommended !

Quiet and Comfortable in a Beautiful Corner of Iceland

We stayed four nights at this well-appointed home, and were sorry to leave. The cottage is spacious, warm, and well-equipped. The location seems really remote, but we were surprised at all the interesting things to see in the area. There is a beautiful cove a ten-minute walk away, a great space to lose yourself watching the waves crash on the rocks. The walk from there to Arnarstapi is lovely, the climb up the Bjarnarfoss waterfall was difficult but well worth the effort, and the drive to other picturesque towns was very manageable. Unfortunately, the weather kept us from seeing or visiting the main feature of the area, the Snaefellsjokull glacier just outside the window, but weather is a gamble anywhere in Iceland. The owner of the cottage was prompt in responding to our messages. The cottage had plenty of towels and blankets, a nice shower, washer and dryer, and a good kitchen. The only potential issue with the cottage is the steep set of stairs to the bedrooms - they are not suitable for people with mobility or balance issues, and we found it too difficult to carry our large bags up to the bedroom. So we left them downstairs and had a wonderful stay. We wouldn't hesitate to return or recommend this cottage to our friends.
