We stayed at Brunnholl Country Guesthouse during our trip to Iceland and were absolutely charmed by this original place! Tucked away in the middle of nowhere along the Ring Road, it’s the perfect spot to unwind, with a cozy and authentic atmosphere. The food was a delightful surprise—delicious, hearty, and made with care, making us feel right at home. The rooms are comfortable, and the glacier views are simply breathtaking. If we could have, we’d have stayed a few more days to soak in more of this hidden gem. Highly recommended!

The glaciers were amazing!!!! We even saw seals. The sand on the black beach... Pay for parking or you'll get a fine in the mail, which the rental company will then charge to your card along with their handling fees. Download the PARKA.IS app

The only downside is that there's no restaurant open at night, and the nearest one is 40 km away, which is difficult to navigate on these roads at night. However, the hostess helped us with some snacks and fruit and resolved this issue. So, excellent service.

A really lovely guesthouse, great for an overnight stay. The place was very clean and new. The employee who was taking care of the place was really nice, showed us around and we chatted a bit about where he is from and what he is doing in Iceland. The bathrooms were large and clean, with spacious showers where you comfortably wash and toilet in the same room.

We love the place. It is in the middle of no where. This farm stay is surrounded by nature. There is a track that we can walk up the hill and along the creek. There is one hotel staff (a lovely dog) always wanting to walk with us. Breakfast is superb.

As described a good old fashion hotel with great rooms and staff. Bar was open along with the restaurant in the late afternoon for a drink prior to a lovely dinner made using local ingredients where possible.

Great place, ideally located near the glacier lake. Rooms are simple but with a lot of space and well maintained. A good stop for campers looking for a rest night in a cozy hotel. Restaurant was great!

No luxury, but the purpose of the accommodation was fulfilled. Breakfast was Icelandic standard. Easy parking with plenty of space. A little overpriced like everything in Iceland.
