Best of the best

This was the perfect stop on the ring road. We were 2 minutes from the forrest lagoon, and 5 minutes from the center of Akureyri. The home was well equipped with the BEST shower of our stay. The sky was very dark and great for star/aurora watching. We were thoroughly inpressed with the luxury of the space. Owners were very gracious and went above and beyond for our stay. This place was charming, comfortable, and convenient.

My wife and I stayed here for four nights and thoroughly enjoyed the place, the view of the mountains and the fjord/town of Akureyri, and the spectacular show that we got from the northern lights on one of our nights there. We saw the lights on two of the four nights, and of course, there's never a guarantee. But on the night that we had a mostly clear sky, the show was spectacular. If you visit in the winter and get lucky, it's a beautiful spot to see the lights overheard from outside both the back and front of the place. Benedikt was good when it came to answering questions by email, and we chose not to rent a car and use the local taxi company to get to and from town. That added a little expense to the stay, but it was well worth it for us. Some guests in the other units did what we did. Some rented cars. It worked very nicely either way. We strongly recommend staying here and hope you get lucky with the lights like we did.

Amazing Hideaway

We loved staying in our Viking Cottage. It was so nice to have a spacious place with a personal hot tub all to ourselves! The heated floors were amazing, and the bed in the loft was very comfortable. The location is just a few minutes drive from the Forest Lagoon and downtown Akureyri and about a half hour from Goðafoss waterfall. It is beautiful to look across the fjord and see the town and the mountains from the cottage. A perfect vacation getaway spot! It was our favorite place we stayed in Iceland and wished we'd stayed for more than two nights.

Great views from a cool cottage

Great location in a very cool, stylishly designed cottage. Nice touch with use of the hot tub plus an orange press with fresh oranges available to be used. Only a couple of downsides, being the fridge never got cold (not ideal for self catering) and the stove top espresso machine must have previously been burnt as no matter how much we cleaned it, it always created burnt coffee, so could do with being replaced. Would be happy to stay there again though.

A rare find and highly recommended

The Viking Cottages were a rare (last minute) find on our whimsical drive around the coast of Iceland and are truly fantastic. Finished to a very high standard, extremely comfortable beds, clean, tidy, great amenities including hot tub and even extra touches above what we expected (fresh oranges and orange press for juice). The only comment I would have for anyone considering staying in winter would be that a 4 wheel drive is probably needed if you’re planning to go out in the days. We left our car at the top of the hill (in the car park) on the second day as was much easier to get out from there.
