Cute, simple.
Stayed in one of the little cabins. It worked great for us. Out in the country, very relaxing. Free coffee in the mornings. We weren't big fans of what we ate in the restaurant. I'd recommend eating in town.

A good honest farmhouse in the fields (15min drive from Selfoss) with a nice restaurant on the premises. The rooms are a bit small and the pictures are well manicured.

Very convenient for a quick stop for a day! Room was a little small for our family of 5 but we managed since it was only a day. Food was wonderful and they even did our laundry for us!

Cute little stay!
The Vatnsholt guest house was perfect! It was such a great place to stay after doing the golden circle and wanting to head out to Vik the next day to explore and see the waterfalls. Yes, it is true, it is small, but I don't think you need much else. Its the cutest little thing with a beautiful view. Comfy and cozy bed, clean bathroom, slippers, towels, and linens provided. I recommend this to anyone / 2 people looking for a place to stay the night. We skipped the breakfast but I'm sure its good! the staff was also very nice. :)

The reception staff moved me to another smaller room without any clear reason, even though they have sent me the room # and key box code of the first room to my email. Hope they can improve their service in the future.
