We absolutely loved our stay here, it was real Icelandic countryside and the hosts were just so lovely.. we even got invited to the farm to see the animals! It was the best nights sleep on our whole Iceland trip, the kids slept until 10 am for the first time ever in their life! Such comfy beds and nice cottage. Really recommend this place for everyone and for families with younger kids it is awesome! Would love to come back one day!

Location, quiet place, great staff, great breakfast, wonderful restaurant, possibility to wash and dry clothes.

I travel a lot in Iceland for my work, and Þorbrandsstaðir is one of the most pleasant surprises of 30 years of traveling. For those who like nature and wilderness, the location is superb. This is not a place for those who need the constant buzz of city life day and night, or a café and a supermarket around the corner. The place feels far away from everywhere even though it is only a short drive from Vopnafjörður town. The old winding gravel road leading to the farm reminds me of Iceland half a century ago, with random sheep in the field, the odd telephone pole slanting a bit, a couple of plovers chirping away on a grassy sod, and the jolly babble from a river nearby. The house is from 1950's and looks from the outside like an abandoned farm, but it is thoroughly renovated inside and with taste, and a lot more comfortable than farms of that period used to be. All the usual stuff, clean and comfy beds, more kitchen utensils than you could possibly eat, polite and friendly hosts, parking just outside, and the house is spacious, warm and bright. In short, ideal for family and/or nature lovers.

Loved the peaceful location, incredible views, had the whole place to ourselves, amazing chefs kitchen with all the amenities and free to use, breakfast was plentiful, rooms were very warm with underfloor heating, lovely on the feet but almost too warm at night.
