Quiet, peaceful area, cozy cabin / cottage

My wife Sheri and I, traveled on vacation together in Sept. from Miami, FL. to Iceland to take a break away from the heat and humidity in Miami to explore Iceland country during Autumn/Winter season. We enjoyed our short stay at the Hellisholar Cottages. My wife really enjoyed the cold weather. We got Free parking included in our stay, Free wifi, hot and cold water, clean room, in a very quiet and peaceful area too.

The cottages are a little on the run down side for the price of one night. Camping feel which is alright. The size is great for a family with two kids (or even more).

This was a great overnight stop for us! The cabins were very cute and cozy! We got two of them so that the kids could have their own space - it worked out great! Located in a gorgeous area. Everything was very clean and comfortable! We had a great night sleep here! Breakfast was also very good!

Rental car a must to be able to access and visit the surrounding areas. The Italian waitress was very friendly in providing information about the surrounding areas. Accommodation was fine for the time that we spent there. Did not access the golf that was on site but did do some amazing day trips from the cottage

Pros - small cottage for 4 people - comfortable beds - kitchen utensils (plates, cups, forks, spoons) - small fridge - small porch outside - sheep come to visit us - beautiful view Cons - tiny kitchen - double check-in but host fixed it quickly - no space for luggage

Did not enjoy it here. Traveled with family of five with young children and cottages have no tvs. Made it very challenging after a hectic travel day. The kitchen amenities is very sparse compared to most cottages we stayed in. It is close to shopping and fuel and hwy 1.

The cottage we had was dated on the inside and gorgeous on the outside. But at the same time had everything we needed so we can still recommend this location. The shower is nice and warm and a lot of windows can open to easily air out the cottage. There is a water cooker, cooking stove, fridge, anything you may need to comfortably spend the night. The location is stunning as the view is amazing and you're in a field where we saw a group of sheep gently walking around. Parking is not a problem for cottages as they each have their own driveway. The communication regarding the self check-in was done very well so we had no problems getting into the cottage after a long day. We had to knock off a star due to the dated interior, our cottage door did not have blinds on the window and several windows were missing a block at the end of the rail when you only want to partially open a window. Please don't let any of this discourage you as you're still in a beautiful place in Iceland and the location is amazing

Lovely cottage in a rural area, sheep in front of house. Kitchen is exaggerated, two hot plates with a pot and pan. Utensils very old, a microwave would help. Plates, glasses and cups are fine, so you have to work around when you really want to cook. There is no amenities, no coffee, tea or shower gel in the cottage. Fridge is very old, freezer door broken. The water heater lights up the room at night, had to pull the plug. Otherwise comfy bed, it was ok. We enjoyed ourselves nevertheless.

Stayed here a few years ago and loved it. This time there we were placed in a cottage on the end no views surrounded by trees, there were multiple teenagers staying on site who were loud playing music and consrantly knocking on others doors. Room was old and dated, shower ran out of water very quickly so you then had to wait an hour for it to fill up, they provided coffee cups but no spoons or anything to use. Very very basic cottage wouldnt stay again you can get much more for your money staying elsewhere

Great place for our first night in Iceland!

This was our first night in Iceland. We checked in late, however the front desk lady was super friendly and accommodating. We drove up to our cabin and it was a perfect start to our trip. Very rustic and quant. The three of us comfortably slept in a bed each. Would recommend!
