Hrimland Cottages

The location is amazing! The cottages are serene and tastefully decorated. They are about 10 min drive away from the downtown. The views are excellent. This might change with new construction around the area. They have blackout shades and curtains for summer. The check in wasn’t a smooth process. I didn’t receive any email with check in details. For international travelers, either have international enabled on your phones or some set up where you will need to receive the cottage number, key etc. we booked the property through United airlines. The cottages have all the necessities except for the kitchen basics. The kitchens have dishes to cook but no towels are provided to clean while the house rules mention about cleaning the place after use. The dishes need to be done and out away which is kinda weird. Turning on the dishwasher is the norm but waiting to put everything back means that the kitchen should not be used atleast 2-3 hrs before checking out. Overall, I would rent it again but would get some paper towels or kitchen towels.

These Cottages felt brand new and were contemporary and sleek with an incredible view. Ours slept 8 people so it felt luxurious with just 4. While expensive it felt worth it and was a good base for activities around Akureryi such as Mývatn, Hverir, and Húsavík. Only minor negative is that it’s on the outskirts of town but it only takes 7 minutes to be in the center. Check out the Akureryi Sundlaig it’s great for kids as well as adults if you like warm pools and hot pots.
