Hofsstadir - Country Hotel

Our room was of average size offering views of the ongoing countryside and occasional eyeshots of lovely horses passing by. However, the floor was very noisy to walk on and closing the door was even noisier! There’s no shelter from rooms to restaurant/reception so you’ll most probably need an umbrella or raincoat to get there. For dinner I had quite a nice potato barley cake, but didn’t even like to think about the horse steak which was also available. Breakfast was disappointing: a lot of homemade stuff but few simple essentials like tomato ketchup! There was some quite nice bread but only one popup toaster, cold hard boiled eggs, and cold cuts including horse meat!!! I don’t know who the man at the breakfast reception was, but he was very unprofessional. I politely asked if it was possible to sit at a table for two, but was rudely told that I had to sit with the group. I later simply asked for some tomato ketchup and was again treated like a naughty child. Does a humble hotel, in the middle of nowhere, anywhere else in the world, cost so much?

This multi generational family run farmhouse with multiple cottages for guests is set in a wide open peaceful environment overlooking snow capped mountains & the Artic Ocean in the distance. The mom greeted us at the door, dad was the chef & their daughter was our waitress. Both the dinner & breakfast were amazing! While enjoying the views from our private outdoor patio, we had a herd of Icelandic horses come greet us. Highly recommend this place

My son and I traveld through the region and stayed at the Hoffsstadir Country Hotel. It seems that it would be a better hotel for a couple getway. We did not try dinner in the hotel but had breakfast which is included. It was fund to see the horses run by the room day and night.

Amazing location - 15 minute drive from Skagafjordur, yet in a remote location with no light pollution. The owners are super nice We were fortunate to have 3 nights of northern lights spectacle facing the frozen river banks and the snow crested mountains. Unbelievable.

Windy location but nicely warm room with stunning view on the superb nature around. Unfortunately the restaurant is closed on Sunday so we had our cozy private diner with local food in the room. We could enjoy beautiful scenery from the terrace. The room was very clean and well-equipped. Make sure the shower store goes up to the floor as otherwise all the bathroom will be under water 😉. The owner lady is extremely friendly and it is a great pleasure to listen to her explanations about the beautiful nature around. The breakfast was more than excellent and we enjoyed a large choice of typical local, even homemade food. A discovery trip compared to the classical continental breakfast served in so many other accommodations. We really recommend this place and just regret we missed the dinner !
