We stayed in one of the cabins and there was plenty of room for the 3 of us. Comfortable accommodations. The area is beautiful and quiet. Staff were helpful and breakfast was great. We only stayed 1 night on our trip around the ring road but we would have been comfortable staying here much longer.

Great stay

Stayed here for two nights in August and had a great time. We didn’t do the breakfast but we did dinner one night and it was great (I had the vegetable soup, highly recommend!). Only con was the radiator seemed to be on and it wasn’t hot enough for that
