    This cottage is in a great location and has a fantastic view. The sitting and dining area faces to the view so you get to make the most of it. The cottage is a little apart from the other accommodation so giving more privacy. There is a nice...

    A localização é fantástica. No meio da natureza, mas com bons acessos. Boa oferta de jacuzzi, com total liberdade e as melhores condições para observar as auroras boreais.

The Guesthouse is located close to Blundsvatn-Lake about 250 meters from the Fossatún restaurant/reception. It is a spacious house, with 4 rooms. The view at the sunset is great in the summer and northern lights like dancing above it in the winter.
Me and my wife are the heart and soul of our operation, we have designed our concept of Rock ´n´ Troll and the menu and are the cooks. Music is important and our record collection in the dining area is our witness. Ours staff is aware of our aims.
