The view is stunning. The bungalow is cozy and comfortable. I had a wonderful stay

Loved the peaceful location, incredible views, had the whole place to ourselves, amazing chefs kitchen with all the amenities and free to use, breakfast was plentiful, rooms were very warm with underfloor heating, lovely on the feet but almost too warm at night.

Even though it was snowing, I drove with summer tires and got stuck, but the owner and staff helped me and I was able to continue my trip. I'll never forget how nice they were to us. Takk fyrir!!!

I travel a lot in Iceland for my work, and Þorbrandsstaðir is one of the most pleasant surprises of 30 years of traveling. For those who like nature and wilderness, the location is superb. This is not a place for those who need the constant buzz of city life day and night, or a café and a supermarket around the corner. The place feels far away from everywhere even though it is only a short drive from Vopnafjörður town. The old winding gravel road leading to the farm reminds me of Iceland half a century ago, with random sheep in the field, the odd telephone pole slanting a bit, a couple of plovers chirping away on a grassy sod, and the jolly babble from a river nearby. The house is from 1950's and looks from the outside like an abandoned farm, but it is thoroughly renovated inside and with taste, and a lot more comfortable than farms of that period used to be. All the usual stuff, clean and comfy beds, more kitchen utensils than you could possibly eat, polite and friendly hosts, parking just outside, and the house is spacious, warm and bright. In short, ideal for family and/or nature lovers.
