The house was so cosy and warm which was especially appreciated after sightseeing. The house is perfectly located to see many of the sights of the Golden Circle as well as access to amenities such as supermarkets. When not sightseeing, we thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in the 39 degrees hot tub outside or in the clean, well equipped kitchen/house/porch or the children playing in the garden or with the many board games….. absolutely super.Communication prior to our stay was excellent and provided all the information we needed.
The house is nice, clean and spacious. (easily enough space for 4 adults)Location is both remote to be very quiet and peaceful, but also not far from attractions (national park, waterfalls, great geysir etc. are around the corner. The hosts are super friendly and very responsive, the always have some good advise about attractions etc. for you, too. Only minor downside was that the hot tube could have been a bit warmer, was a bit too cold (winter time) to stay in it longer and to watch the stars and aurora. We'd consider the cottage again if we want to stay in the South! :)
