missingWrote a review on Nov 22homemade pieswell-equipped kitchennewly renovated bathroomssound isolationlimited window opening
The homemade pies and jams were stellar—totally a must-try. The kitchen was well-equipped and the patio was a perfect spot for chilling after a day of exploring. The newly renovated bathrooms were a game-changer for shared living.
Rooms aren't the best at sound isolation—expect a bit of door slamming until the night settles. Plus, windows only crack open a smidge.

i almost would have given a good review, but a noisy corridor and minimal soundproofing ruined the experience. i also would’ve expected complimentary snacks considering the distance to markets! it felt more like summer camp than a guesthouse, and don’t get me started on those tiny windows—absoluteley ridiculous for a place like this. disappointed, really.

The homemade pies and jams were stellar—totally a must-try.
Unfortunately, my experience was marred by noise issues. The lack of soundproofing meant that every noise from the common areas echoed into my room, making it hard to relax. Additionally, the Wi-Fi connectivity was unreliable, which added to my frustrations during the stay.

Can't recommend highly enough for a momentary pause
Warm room, spacious kitchen, that allowed me to enjoy a very accommodating atmosphere with free Wi-Fi for staying connected during my stay, and the off-site car park made it incredibly convenient to explore the surrounding areas.
Couldn’t find a single fault without adding further information.

The kitchen was exceptionally well-equipped, making meal preparation both easy and enjoyable during our stay.
The noise from the shared hallways was quite disruptive, particularly with doors slamming late at night.

It was just a good pick for a weekend break in Skinnastadur with great value for the money. The kitchen had a lot of essentials, making it easy to prepare meals during the stay. Bring some earplugs if you're sensitive to noise at night.

Perfect spot in the wilderness!
We totally loved our stay! The beds were super comfy and the rooms were spacious. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. We found snacks nearby at the gas station! One thing tho, sound carried a lot, so be ready for some noise at night, but honestly, it was an awesome experience overall.
