"Icelandic hospitality in a beautiful setting."

Wonderful, accommodations. Windows on all sides of the lounge area allowed for a clear view of the surrounding countryside. Nothing fancy, but very clean, and cozy. The breakfast was delicious with a good variety of food and there is a well stocked bar. We were here on a G adventures tour and enjoyed 2 evenings getting know each other after busy daytime tours. Bara's quiet hospitality, while allowing us to see her horses through her eyes, was a delight.
