Nice accommodation

The accommodation was nice and warm. The selection of beverages in the dinning room was great and handy that you could go anytime to get one. Lots of animals around the place as well.

Wir hatten eine kleine Kabine mit eigenen Bad (was in Island nicht selbstverständlich ist) auf dem Gelände. Sehr eng, aber sie erfüllte ihren Zweck und war bezahlbar. Service ist sehr zuvorkommend und übernachten bei der Ruhe ein Traum. Sehr gern mal wieder.
