We enjoyed our stay here. Although it was nothing fancy, it was clean and had everything you needed. The staff was extremely friendly. The best part was the horses and foals right outside your doorstep.

One night stay

Our one night stay in Vantsholt was very nice and calm. Staff was very friendly. Common room was great for just sit, relax and enjoy coffee or tea which were free. Rooms were clean with very nice view to the nature.

This property was not our favorite. The room was tiny for our family of 4 - we almost couldnā€™t fit our luggage in the room and walk to and from the bathroom. It was also in a basement and full of flies. Every time other guests opened or closed a door our door rattled loudly waking us up. The pictures from the other rooms in this property look very nice- I am wondering if we just got a dud. Maybe just avoid the quadruple room with a private bath. Otherwise, the property was nice. Our kids enjoyed the park and the breakfast buffet was ok. We were glad we only had one night to spend here.

We stayed at Hotel Vatnsholt for one night and had a really pleasant experience. The staff were very welcoming and helpful ā€“ we arrived late in the evening, and they took time to explain everything clearly: the common areas (with games available until 11 pm), the breakfast setup, and then directed us to our room. A really nice touch was the free hot chocolate and coffee machine in the common area, available from 7 am to 11 pm. The staff even helped us heat up our own food and kindly provided cutlery from the restaurant so we could eat in the common area. Breakfast the next morning (15 EUR per person) was excellent with a wide variety ā€“ cereals, nuts, seeds, spreads, fresh bread, cheese, waffles, jams, and also meat options. Definitely worth it. Our room was comfortable, with shared bathrooms (shared between 2ā€“3 rooms at most), and the location in the converted barn was unique and charming. Unfortunately, we didnā€™t get time to meet their horses, but thatā€™s a great reason to return. Overall, a very friendly place with great facilities and a homely atmosphere. Highly recommend for a comfortable countryside stay.

We stayed for two nights and had a truly enjoyable experience. The location is perfect for exploring both the Golden Circle and the southern coastā€”making it an ideal base for day trips. The peaceful surroundings, complete with open fields and horses grazing nearby, added a special charm to our stay. The hotel itself is very quiet, which made for restful nights in the incredibly comfortable beds. One of the highlights was the warm and welcoming staff. Even though we arrived lateā€”after the restaurant had already closedā€”they still prepared food for us, which we really appreciated. The only minor downside was the size of the bathroomā€”it was quite small. However, this didnā€™t detract much from the overall experience. Highly recommended for those seeking a calm and cozy place in a stunning location!
