    Comfortable large room. Large dining kitchen with sea views if weather the were better. Comfortable lounge too. Much better than the place that I stayed in opposite Hvitserkur last year.

Company information

My name is Olga Lind and I am the host at Tjörn 1. I want my guests to feel comfortable at Tjörn and therefore try to have everything as clean and comfortable as possible. My husband and I are sheep farmers and I love the wool from our Icelandic sheep, I send the wool to a small spinning factory in the south (Upspuni) and then knit from this high quality yarn and I often have this yarn for sale in the small sales cabinet in the guest house and sometimes also knitted products. I am usually there to welcome guests, show them the place and answer questions. If you want to know more about the guesthouse or my wool then you can send me a message on Instagram under the name Lopalind.

Property information

Tjörn 1 is located on the west side of Vatnnes, where the sunset is exceptionally beautiful in the summer. The guest house is homely and beautiful with a well-equipped kitchen with everything you need to cook a good meal, and in the dining room it's nice to sit by the window and enjoy the food and the view. There is a shared lounge with a TV, family games and puzzles. The bathroom is shared with a large shower, towels and basic toiletries. There is also another bathroom without a shower. There are only 4 rooms in the guest house, so most of the time it's quiet and a good time in the Icelandic countryside.

Neighbourhood information

The guest house is in Vatnsnes, which is beautiful and nice to see at all times of the year. The main places are Hvammstangi, a small village with all the basic necessities, a supermarket, a swimming pool, a gas station and a good restaurant called Sjávarborg, which is by the sea. Ánastaðarstapi is a beautiful cliff by the sea, Hamarsrett is a special place that is nice to see, where the farmers gather the sheep when they herd them from the mountain in autumn. Illugastaðir is a good place for seal watching and is also a historical place for those who are interested in history, it is interesting to learn about the history of Illugastaðir Tjörn 1 is a church site and many people come there to visit the graves of Agnes and Friðrik Hvítserkur is a famous rock that everyone who drives Vatnsnes must see. Borgarvirki is a volcanic plug and there is a speculationa as whether is was, in ancient times, a district fortress and even, perhaps, a battleground, but for sure an interesting place that is worth walking to.
