We loved the view from our little cottage! The cottage itself was clean, very well decorated and equiped with all the amenities we needed. A few steps from the small but charming village also. We also enjoyed the outdoor whirlpool ! The owners were very welcoming and quick to help us with our inquiries. I would definitely recommend !

The cabin was extremely comfortable and warm. The location was perfect for the town and the view of the church and mountains across the fjord was spectacular. We were warmly welcomed and felt nothing was too much trouble. Thoroughly recommended.

Herring House is a great place to stay--I enjoyed it immensely. I booked one of the cabins which included access to an outdoor shower. Although somewhat skeptical, the proprietor, Helga, convinced me to give it a try. Glad I did--truly an amazing experience even though the temperature was a little above freezing. The accommodation was extremely clean and ideally situated with restaurants within easy walking distance. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Siglufjörður.
