Awesome Property
Pros:

This was a very pretty property with a cool view of the lake. We were able to see tons of nesting birds and hear them chirp. The little cabins were very spacious. In floor heating was really nice too

Cons:

Only thing is we couldn’t figure out how to work the thermostat so it was toasty in there. I’d recommend getting someone to set it how to like or show you how to do work it.

Pros:

Erstklassige Cottages, eingebettet in die Natur. Sehr ruhig, lädt absolut zum Wohlfühlen und Verbleiben ein - wir wären gerne länger geblieben! Auch das Restaurant sehr zu empfehlen - insbesondere das exzellente Frühstücksbuffet - sehr geeignet auch für Veganer und Gesundheitsbewusste. Gab z.B. Ingwershot, Chia-Pudding und Lysi Cod Liver Oil. Zudem sehr freundliches Personal - Alles absolut perfekt!

Pros:

A wonderfully calm and comfortable hotel. Each room is a well-designed, spacious cabin with a patio facing a lake or another landscape feature. The staff is kind and caring. The breakfast buffet includes some extras, like various cheeses and ginger shots.

Cons:

At dinner, I had a cocktail that wasn't great, but that's about the only shortcoming I can think of.

Pros:

Las carreteras estaban cortadas y hacía muy mal tiempo y nos dejaron cancelar la reserva ese mismo día devolviéndonos el importe. Sin duda si vuelvo a Islandia mi elección sería Magma.
