    We so appreciated the free upgrade and the tea and breakfast! It was such a thoughtful touch. It was definitely our favorite stay so far in Iceland and a bucket list experience for us (:

    No shower on the grounds. We had gone to the swimming facility that they offer for a hot shower but apparently the hours had changed and we were unable to shower.

    Such a unique experience! It was warm with the fire going and the decor is super cute. They had a nice breakfast packed in a cooler for us. We had a couch, a small bed and a king size bed. We had a kettle and a few dishes as well to use. They had a first aid kit, a fire extinguisher and a fire blanket in each yurt. The small touches didn’t go unnoticed. It is a a haul up from the car so just take up what you need to the night/morning.

    Toilet was outdoors, but we knew this before we booked the yurt. It was cold going to toilet at night.

    Excellent location & views. Yurt was very comfortable with nice touches.

    The way to the toilet was a little steep and long, but we knew it's separate from the Yurt. Just come prepared with good shoes.

    Comfy beds, warm bedsheets, fireplace, all equipment in the Yurt, atmosphere and wonderful view! Breakfast. Everything was very clean.

    There was no warm water when we went so it was a bit back to basics. Still loved it though.

    Cosy and warm with excellent views and comfy beds. We loved our stay here so extended it for a day. Definitely a highlight of the holiday.

    Perhaps I didn't read the property description clearly, but we didn't understand in advance that we would be sharing a bathroom facility with the other three yurts. So, we juggled a total of like 10 or so people entering and exiting. Wasnt too bad but perhaps I glossed over that detail. The only other note I would share is that we needed more firewood. We ran out and had to scavenge for firewood under the bathroom facilities. Would be great to have access to more.

    The yurt was a great experience. The owners communicated clearly about everything and the yurt was so cozy. We appreciated the nice touch of breakfast. Didnt get to make it to the pool but good to know we had that as an option, especially since there are no on site shower facilities.

    Possibly the steps up to the toilet utility hut could be better. A shower on site also would be good if staying longer than one night. Other than that don't change it. Superb place.

    We loved the setting, views and furnishings in our Yurt nos.1. The decorations for my daughter's birthday were a nice touch. Lighting the log burner was fun and my daughter enjoyed relaxing reading on her birthday. Great breakfast too The entry to the swimming pool was also a great bonus also.

    A wood burn stove, a huge cozy bed, a kettle full of tea, an incense burner full of nag champa, and wet weather outside. Life doesn't get much better!
