Best of our trip! You recover cows-need I say more! Breakfast and dinner was loaded with tons of options ( vegetarian too)high quality, locally sourced and homemade dishes. We rented a cabin type room. The only down side was that there wasn’t tv. Loved exploring Mývatn nature and going to the baths too. The staff and animals made this place really special

Lovely rooms across from the farm, spacious, cozy and very comfortable. Breakfast was typical European offerings, nothing hot, with windows looking onto the cow milking operation and the farm. We arrived to a very beautiful sunset over Lake Myvatn. The hotel is conveniently located close to the lake, Crater and geothermal area. Dinner was good but expensive like most Iceland restaurants!

Rustic but clean and roomy cabins. Very good food and service in the restaurant and bar, and a bonus of watching them milk their dairy cows.

The rooms were located across the street from the reception and the restaurant. Parking by the rooms was very accessible. The room was very clean and the beds were comfortable. I had not realized that not only do you have rooms on either side of you but also on the back as well. So it was very noisy, but I had a portable sound machine, which was helpful. Also, the rooms were all in a small area so when people were out at night, it was very noisy. I Highly recommend eating at the restaurant. We had the best lamb shank and lamb fillet dinner! The staff was extremely friendly, and the dining area was very cozy and comfortable. Also, the included breakfast was excellent.

This was a working dairy farm. It was very interesting to see the cows being milked or feeding in the pasture. The buffet breakfast was the best we had on our 10-day trip around Iceland. They had very many offerings. Since it was a dairy farm, they had fresh cheeses and yogurt. The lodging was in log cabins. The beds were very comfortable. Each cabin had parking.

A unique and memorable farm stay experience

This is a unique property set on a working farm. One of the highlights was being able to see the cows through the dining room window during breakfast and dinner — and even getting the chance to visit and pet them, which was a real treat. The rooms were cozy and cabin-like, with effective blackout curtains, though it did get quite hot in June without air conditioning. The bathroom was small but the space overall was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed walking around the property and soaking in the peaceful natural surroundings — though do be prepared for mosquitoes and bugs. The food was a standout (but expensive): the vegetarian dinner was delicious, and breakfast featured the most amazing fresh bread.

This is a very unique experience and cool property. The rooms though have no view as they are across the road and are older log cabin style.
