    We loved our cottage! It was rustic but modern and clean. The cooking facilities and equipment were great for self catering as there isn't really much around if you want to eat out. The location is beautiful and it includes a lovely hot pool with...

With magnificent views overlooking the vast plains and distant mountains of the Skagafjörður valley, our seven charming timber cottages are the ideal place to spend your days off all year round. From the hot tub at the centre of the well-maintained cottage site, you can enjoy the golden light of the midnight sun or watch the northern lights.
I enjoy going for long rides through our beautiful valley or up to the mountains to gather the sheep in fall. I grew up in this area and would love to give you some inside information about the nicest spots around here.
Skagafjörður offer different activities, either for outdoor persons who wants to experience the famous "tölt" of the Icelandic horses and go rafting on glacial rivers, or for people who prefers to lay in some wild hot-springs for hours. Our cottages are nestled together up on the hill only a short walking distance from the centre of Varmahlíð. In town, you will find all the services you need: tourist information, grocery shop, restaurant, petrol station, bank, hotel, swimming pool, and more.
