    The farm was great! We had been driving the golden circle and it was really nice to be able to pull off and have a nice place to stay. The room was great and the staff were super friendly and willing to chat and tell us more about the farm. Dinner and breakfast were great and their ice cream was delicious. We were so happy with our stay!

    We were there in the shoulder season and there was still some construction going on. It was a bit muddy, walking from our room to the restaraunt. However, it was understandable since there was some construction going on and it was spring

    the room was quiet and comfortable. We had dinner and breakfast at the restaurant and found both to be extremely good. Lots of healthy choices. The ice cream shop afterwards was a nice bonus and having dinner overlooking the cows was lovely!

    Our room had a rustic charm, but needed more lighting. The room is heated through the floor and gets quite hot, even though I turned it off it retained all the heat and was too hot to sleep, it was at 25.5 Celsius in the room. The window only opens a little and didn't really help to cool it down.

    Delicious meal in the restaurant. Very friendly staff and owners.

    Very nice farm hotel. Had a small cabin with a very nice view. Heated floor kept us warm. The restaurant had good food and home made ice-cream (yummy!). While eating you are able to look into the barn and watch the farm's cows.

    The whole atmosphere of the farm experience was so lovely. We stayed in a cabin with a private bathroom/shower. The room was warm and cozy, the beds were comfortable. The farm has a cafe with ice cream and a restaurant where you can watch the cows eat. Breakfast was a simple continental breakfast. Pancakes were especially yummy.

    Fantastic location inside the Golden Circle, with lots of amenities on-site including a restaurant, an ice cream bar, and barns with adorable farm animals. The room was spacious, well equipped and very comfortable for a group of friends traveling together.

    Fantastic location to see the national park, geysers and waterfall. The view from the room was incredible. The restaurant had some really good food and ice cream served next to the cows was a very cute experience. The two dogs outside reception were a lovely surprise.
