Charming escape in the countryside

Our little hut felt private and cozy, perfect for enjoying the tranquil surroundings. The staff’s warmth and hearty breakfast made every morning delightful.

The bathroom was small, and we had some trouble with hot water running out during our morning rituals. A more modern setup would enhance the experience.

children's playground

cozy cottage

small room

The surroundings are great for our large dog, allowing for ample space to roam. We especially enjoyed the children's playground that kept the kids entertained. The cozy cottage was a perfect home base for relaxing after our outings, and I appreciated the coffee available all day.

My wife says that the rooms could be bigger for families.

complimentary hot drinks

unfinished game area

no darts available

We stayed in a three-bedroom apartment for 3 nights, and it was super spacious. The vibe of the guesthouse was charming, especially with the Icelandic horses outside. Loved the little game area, although the darts weren’t available yet. The staff was really quick to help us with any requests, which was awesome. Plus, the complimentary hot drinks were a nice touch!

It was a commendable fit for a brief weekend stay with great value-to-price ratio. We got a smooth check-in even arriving late, which was a relief after our long travel day. Make sure to enjoy the complimentary breakfast. it was plentiful and a nice way to start the day.
