1A Guesthouse is situated in Vatnsholt. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is set 38 km from Ljosifoss.

The guest house is fitted with a satellite flat-screen TV. The guest house offers bed linen, towels and housekeeping service.

Arriving around 23.00 was not a problem at all. Warm, clean, cosy, beautifully-designed room with a fridge and a kettle + some tea/coffee/chocolate bar. Everything beautiful, breathtaking views, close to the main road. Peace and quiet as there are only two rooms for guests in the house. The hostess brought us plates, knives and forks, she's a lovely person. In the morning our car battery was dead and the host gave us all kind of help, support and advice we needed so that we could continue the trip. One of the best stays in Iceland.

    The guesthouse is really nice, we have enjoyed the common area with a pool table. Moreover, the breakfast is affordable and you have a good selection of toast, marmelade, cereals, waffles as well as juices. Also great location, surrounded by horses.
