Avoid if you have food allergies / Kids
This hotel is not very inclusive of people with food allergies or suitable for children. We stayed at the hotel in June 2024 during a severe weather warning when we were restricted / couldn’t travel anywhere. Our 7 year old daughter has a dairy and egg allergy. There was no dairy free milk or dairy free butter at breakfast which significantly limited our daughter’s breakfast options. In addition to this there was no sausage or bacon. It was all cheese, yoghurt, cold meats, cereal, none of which a child would eat / could eat. I mentioned this to the staff and all they could suggest was she eat fruit. There was no offer to try and accommodate her allergies. This was very stressful given the fact we were stranded at this hotel (roads closed due to snow). They didn’t even have a kids menu for lunch/evening. I think this hotel is more geared to couples, not families and certainly not people who have allergies. As a result every night, we risked driving 4 minutes up the road in bad weather so my daughter could eat at the restaurant next to another hotel. In summary I would also advise not staying in Lake Myvatn, but in Akuyeri. Lake Myvatn is in the middle of nowhere and if you get snow (in June!!!) you will be stranded. Nobody clears the road between Akureyi and Lake Myvatn.

This property is a treat as they have a farm, restaurant and the inn. We enjoyed everything except the wind and rain - lol! The owner/manager was super helpful with Road.IS as a big storm was on our heels and many roads were closed. I would highly recommend this property!

The room is quiet and a bit far from the restaurant, but the food was delicious and you could even see the cows being milked on site.

This guesthouse is in prime location but is extremely expensive for the quality. It is maybe 2 star accomodation. A clean room with a comfortable bed- zero amenities in the room, more like a cabin with running water but the cost of a 4 star hotel elsewhere. The restaurant and service were good but I would rather pay slightly more for something nicer. So far my least favorite spot of 6 nights of our trip.
