    We didn’t know they had breakfast! We read in a tour book they don’t offer it and they did but we had made other arrangements. Sad to miss! The shower situation was a bit tough with a curtain and the quiet hours were great except some kids were running around scream-playing after hours (not a big deal but we were personally told to be quiet after 10pm and the kids were running around at 11pm).

    Such a beautiful little cozy room! The hospitality is superb.

    Now that there are mosquitoes in the area, window screens would be a good addition (did warn us and provided bug repellent)

    Warm welcome from the host. Check in instructions were clear and accurate. Room and common areas were very clean. Loved the horses as an added bonus.

    Old key in the bedroom doors were a bit noisy as we all tried to figure out how they worked so an early riser might wake you up as they left their room.

    Self check in process very easy. Everything was clean and comfortable. Briefly met the owner in the morning when we left. She was very friendly.

    Stairs to upstairs were short and steep. But part of original house structure so travelers just need to know.

    This guesthouse is located on a hill with a great view over the bay and river bed area. Chance of stunning sunsets when the weather allows it! Very comfy rooms with character and cosy kitchen and common spaces. The staff and owner are very friendly and helpful - happy to assist with anything. You can also book riding tours with their super cuddly Icelandic horses, which are located right next to the house. Also adding up to the already stunning view ;) Arriving late was no issue and the self check-in was uncomplicated :) I’d come again any time!

    This is a wonderful guest house with amazing views. Positives- Super clean with average sized rooms. Quiet with great blackout curtains, kitchen, dinning area and sitting room were well equipped, clean and open to everyone for use. Elise was absolutely fantastic….such a kind and helpful person! Not negatives but just a couple not optimal things- The staircase upstairs is a tad narrow and steep, the bathrooms are a bit tight and the dirt and bumpy road leading to the guesthouse was longer than we hoped…….but alas….. they work great with what they have…….we would def come back!
