    Location pretty close into town a very nice home with a beautiful view out the back of the house. Our hosts were wonderful and the overall accommodations were the best we had on our travel on the Ring Road. The hosts were also very informative...

    Beautiful location and excellent facilities! Lots of space and solitude. The shared kitchen was squeaky clean and had everything we needed to prepare our dinner. The room was also clean and extremely comfortable. Hosts were welcoming and friendly...
