The Nest
Adalbraut 16, 675 Raufarhöfn, Iceland – Great location - show map
The Nest is a quiet guesthouse in an Icelandic Arctic Village called Raufarhöfn. People should first understand this means the village is remote and in a pristine location. My room was equipped with a full-size kitchen, a shower, and two beds. It was perfect for me but is also great for families. The village itself is wonderful, boasting very beautiful landscapes. I teavelled here to visit the Arctic Henge, see the seals, and take photos.
