Excellent location & basic farm stay accomodation

The farm stay is in a terrific location for the glacier lagoon, ski-doo trips on the glacier and other sights. It is pretty basic, but clean and has friendly enough staff. Meals on site are at the basic end of the spectrum.

Excellent accomodation, great location, and very friendly and helpful staff

My wife and I enjoyed our two night stay at the Guesthouse Skalafell. Our large family cottage was spacious and appropriately appointed. Very clean, warm, and peaceful. The soaring cliffs, waterfall, river, ocean views, sunrises, and sheep wandering the property all contribute to a perfect...More

The summer house

If available, book the summer house which belongs to the owners. It is isolated, far from main guesthouse, very comfy and cozy. Fully equipped. Sleeps 6 easy. Besides for the ok sheets, very nice. Kids will have fun here. Dinner at the guesthouse is ok....More

We had a full house just for us

We were lucky enough to have our family accommodated in the “summer house”, which was across the road from the main property (2 minutes drive). What a nice place to be ! The owners are very caring and friendly.
