This family-run guesthouse is set on a working farm, 30 km from Höfn in south-eastern Iceland. It offers a common room with free WiFi, along homemade ice cream from their dairy farm.

Views of the surrounding mountains and glaciers, as well as a TV and hairdryer can be enjoyed in all Brunnholl Country Guesthouse rooms. All rooms have a private bathroom. This was by far the best accommodations we have had thus far in Iceland. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the entire guesthouse felt very homey and comfortable. Enjoyed the family touches, and learning about how the guesthouse came to be as with their expansions over the years you can tell how much care and thought has gone into building the guesthouse. Staff was helpful and friendly. The breakfast was great and affordable, which lead us to trying the dinner which was exceptional. Highly recommended.

Boasting panoramic views towards the famous Vatnajökull glacier and the surrounding mountains, Árnanes Country Hotel offers free Wi-Fi. The harbour town of Höfn is only 6 km away.

Each room at Árnanes comes with a terrace and blackout curtains for bright summer evenings. Some rooms have private entrance or a balcony. Located near to the city of Hofn. Arnanes really is one of the highlight our of trip as we spend a good times here during our stay. The staff at the restaurant is very polite as well and the unit is like a small terrace house made up mainly by timber. A short drive will get you to Hofn where you can spend a good dinner there and drove back to the hotel for a good rest. Recommended to those who visiting Hofn, Arnanes would be a good choice to spend your night here :)

Situated next to Iceland’s Ring Road, this family-run farm hotel offers brightly decorated rooms with a TV and a private bathroom. The Hoffell Hot Springs are 25 km away.

All rooms at Hotel Smyrlabjörg feature country house-style décor. Some rooms have views of the Atlantic Ocean, while others overlook the mountains. The room was spacious, and I liked the decorations. The breakfast also had a bit more variety compared to other guesthouses in Iceland
