We booked this place so that we would be close to the puffin colony. We were lucky to get a newer cabin and it was quite nice. Much more spacious than the hotels we had been staying in. We got carry out from the Salt restaurant and enjoyed our meal at the cabin. Nice and quiet place with a view.

It is a quaint little cabin very quiet with beautiful scenery around. The highlight was we saw northern lights right in front of the cottage midnight to 2 am

Having an outdoor grill was fantastic. Could not figure out how to use the cook top. The hardness of the bed made sleeping difficult. The cottage was spacious. Took a pleasant walk from the cabin towards the hills.

10/10 Cozy, comfortable cabin surrounded by Nature
This adorable little cabin was perfect for our stay traveling around the Ring Road! My grandmother and I LOVED this cozy place. It was nice to have a cabin all to ourselves and our own beds that were very comfortable! The TV and wifi worked wonderfully (it has been one of the only places with a TV on our stay so far) so we enjoyed a nice movie and coziness on the comfortable couch while it rained at night. The views are incredible & it is Fall time so the leaves are orange and yellow and beautiful against the mountains! The shower was hot & the appliances all worked well for cooking our own meals. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone traveling in the area! Thanks for a great stay!

Hi, the location was on point. It was a cozy little house.
We did not have a very good experience with the owners. We were running behind schedule by 30 mins during checkout. Wanting to finish breakfast we requested if we could stay 15 mins more but were asked to leave as it was past 11:00. Not very pleasant. Overall loved the location.

Ásgeirsstaðir Cottages is a quaint getaway to enjoy nature and relax. Our neighbors, 3 local sheep were friendly as well;). Staying at Ásgeirsstaðir Cottages is a unique experience for a big city couple like us. Quite, alone, cozy.
Our cottage had a full bedroom, pullout couch and full kitchen. The town is about a 15 min drive where you can pick up groceries at the grocery store, Bonus, and eat at the local bar/grill, Salt. The main house even had an EV charger! Everything in our room worked great and we had no issues. Wonderful stay!
Room is spacious. Location is quite fast from town. Bathroom is clean. Having 2 separate bedrooms is excellent for families. The lights were bright , the kitchen equipments are clean and comprehensive.

This cottage was the perfect place to stop and recharge during our ring road trip! Tucked away and well-kept with all of the necessary amenities. The place provided peaceful privacy, despite being just a 10 min drive from Egilsstadir. Clear communication from the owners as well, with the cottage being ready for us at just the right time.

Cabin needs a really good dusting.
Couch and side chairs were uncomfortable for a late family movie night
We absolutely loved our stay here and wished we had booked a second night. The location was perfect. Only 12kms from Eglisstadir, so not too far off the main roads. It was quiet and peaceful with beautiful views all around. Sitting out on our patio that evening, the only sound we could hear was the little waterfall adjacent to the property. We got up early and hiked up into the hills before we left. The cottage was cozy and just the right size for our family of 4. The bed was comfortable and I had my best night's sleep of the holiday here. It wasn't fancy accommodation, but it was perfect for our family with 2 young children. We would love to go back and be able to enjoy it for longer!

C'est un bel petit endroit. On doit faire 2 km sur un chemin de terre pour s'y rendre. Le réseau n'entre pas super bien. J'ai bien aimé.
Very quiet, clean, cozy cottage in the country a few miles north of Egilsstadir. It was great to take a short walk up to a small waterfall. We loved it and would go back again.
Perdus au milieu de la nature, vous serez très bien accueillis par la maîtresse de maison. Le cottage est comme neuf, très bien aménagé, équipé et décoré. Le cadre très beau. A recommander
The cabin was clean and pretty. We arrived quite late in the night and the owner was around to check us in.
We did not get a chance to enjoy the hiking trail but the horses in the field were lovely and we got a chance to pet them!
The cabin was a bit small for 4 people but we were only there for 1 night.
