A friend and I planned to visit Iceland for a week, focusing on the southern part of the country. We decided to stay in one spot and do day trips, and we settled on this cottage. We wanted a place in the country away from city or town lights, but still not too far from civilization. The cottage was perfect! It is small but comfortable and well stocked with everything we needed to prepare breakfast and a packed lunch. The beds are comfortable and we slept soundly, even on very windy nights. (It can get quite windy in Iceland but the cottage was free of drafts or cold spots.) Renate, our host, was very responsive to my questions, and provided helpful information. The view from the cottage is beautiful and we enjoyed watching the sheep! We were able to easily visit Reykjavik, sights on the Golden Circle, waterfalls on the way to Vik, and Vestmannaeyjabær (the Westman Islands). Selfoss is just about 30 minutes away, so handy for groceries and restaurants. To sum up, the location is great and the cottage is comfortable and clean with an excellent host! I highly recommend it.
