Pros:

Delightful from greeting to checkout- great room, nice lobby/sitting/gathering area, very good breakfast, kind staff and beautiful setting. We didn’t try the hot tubs but soaking in the rain seemed to make many peoplehappy.

Lovely place. We were doing a road trip through Iceland and this was by far our favourite hotel that we stayed in. Beautiful room with huge amount of space. Great facilities and friendly staff. Excellent selection at the breakfast buffet.

Pros:

All the rooms are on the ground level, which makes it easy to come and go. Wonderful breakfast with many options, even dried fruit. We enjoyed seeing the horses. Downside is the halls are tile, which was extremely noisy for rolled suitcases. Even with earplugs, I did not sleep well. Hot tub was not open during convenient hours.
