Áskot Cottages

A lovely cabin in a great location for exploring southeastern Iceland. The cabin is well appointed, and Greta was an excellent host. Highly recommended!

Peace & Harmony Stayed 3 nights at this fantastic place, which is perfectly located for day-trips around the southern part of the island. Cosy cottages in as-new condition, fully furbished kitchenette was perfect for cooking meals, slept like babies in a large double-bed and twin sofa (very easy to unfold/fold). Very friendly couple running the cottages and the horse farm next to the cottages. Upon arrival we were invited to see the horses next morning, and we had a closeup experience with the horses, in and around the stable/paddocks, and watched them from our cottage. The owners shared ideas for trips (we went to the tomato farm - excellent) and were very hospitable. Our family could not be happier with our first 3 nights in Iceland, stunning place and hosts, if we ever get back to Iceland again we will come back to Askot, Greta, Steinar and the beautiful horses ❤️

Wonderful stay + free EV charging! This is a special place. The cottages are very comfortable and have a beautiful view of Eyjafyallajökull and the Westman Islands in the distance. If you email or call they will give you a tour of their stables where they train horses and help injured horses regain their strength (including exercise in a swimming pool!). We met and chatted briefly with one of the owners, who was lovely. As a bonus, each cottage is equipped with a free EV charging station—the only place we stayed on our entire trip that offered this amenity. This is a vacation rental, not a full service hotel. There is no front desk or restaurant/bar, so I would come with supplies. (The town of Selfoss is about 30 minutes away, and there is a little hamlet nearby with some limited dining options, including a good food truck that serves fish and chips).

Wonderful Stay in Hella We had an amazing stay at the cottage. It was cozy and had all the amenities needed to feel right at home. The design and little touches were so thoughtful and lovely. Really made for a special stay in Hella. The hosts were wonderful at communicating and really created a special little place here on their farm. We would absolutely stay here again on our next trip to Iceland!

Peaceful location. Nice view across fields, and mountain ridges in the distance. We also appreciated the comfort and cozyness. Well done, hosts!

I absolutely loved my stay here. I stayed two separate nights during my travels and these cottages are so well equipped for a home away from home. Everything you could want is provided, they really have thought of everything. The cottages were beautiful, clean, comfortable and the views were stunning! They have plugs for EV cars at each cottage too which is a bonus for people driving e cars. I got to meet one of the owners, she was lovely. I can’t recommend this place enough, it’s a must stay while travelling Iceland.
