No AC. Shower did not have shower lip to contain water. Water went all over bathroom while showering due to slow drain. Was unable to squeegee bathroom completely, even with multiple tries. Sulfer smell throughout room due to water not draining in bathroom.
Was unable to use hot tub due to it not being warm.
Decent breakfast - good yogurt bar.
No shoes in hotel.

A wonderful horse farm on a beautiful country road. Cute private cottages with a porch and adequate kitchen. We were there in the winter and lucky enough to see the northern lights from the porch. Easy to drive to nearby towns for sightseeing or groceries. Best breakfast buffet of the three places we stayed in Iceland.

This was our favorite stay on our entire journey of 8 nights and 6 different hotels. The food was amazing! When I got home I cooked lamb goulash and scalloped potatoes. It wasn't as good as yours, but reminded me of our wonderful stay. Thanks.
