Lovely Bed and Breakfast

We enjoyed our stay at The Herring House. Helga & Dagur were fantastic hosts. Breakfast was great: yogurt, breads, homemade jam, meat, fruit, juice. They kindly provided gluten free bread on request. The need was comfy. The room was dark and very quiet. We had a cabin with its own bathroom. Just be aware that the shower is outdoors and shared.

This is the best stay we had in Iceland during a 12-day trip: every thoughtful detail was considered in the private cabin we stayed in and the hosts were welcoming and wonderful. We never wanted to leave this retreat. The hot tub was filled just for us and the host brought us warm cheese and bread in the morning. Incredible view of the fjord, excellent local knowledge and tips provided (in a detailed notebook), would absolutely stay again in the cozy cabin retreat! Loved this place, highly recommend.

Their private cottage is our favorite stay on our road trip across Iceland, even compared with the other four-star hotels we stayed at. In the summer, greens and a breathtaking view of the snow mountains surround the cottage. The room is clean, cozy, and thoughtfully designed. The hosts are very welcoming, too. The only pity is that we could not use the outdoor shower facility, as we happened to catch a cold on our trip. Still, we wish we had stayed at this place a bit longer!

Made us feel like Íslandsvinir!!

Of the 4 places we stayed when we took our 11 day trip around the country, this was our favourite. The little cabin with the outdoor shower and hot tub was perfect. The owners - Helga and Dagur were perfect. The town was perfect. The epic beautiful falls on the edge of town were perfect. The hiking trails going up the mountain were perfect. The cute fat kitty we met when we were walking around the town was perfect. When we packed up to leave from the Herring House, my wife and I said to each other that we'd be back. Can't wait to spend more time in this beautiful town!
