We had booked Stóra Sandfell Rooms and Cottages for two nights but ended up staying only one. The setting is very peaceful and quiet, surrounded by woods, and it was different from the other places we stayed along the Ring Road. The kitchen was nice to have, and I can see how the patio and grill would be lovely in better weather, though the rain kept us from really enjoying those.

The cabin has a rustic cottage feel, which some travelers may really enjoy. My daughter had been excited to sleep in the loft, but she found several spiders and decided to sleep on the hard couch instead. The bedroom was extremely tiny, to the point that the door could not fully open, and the bed was probably the most uncomfortable one we slept in during our trip. We did not use the shower because we went to Vök Baths nearby.

The location felt a little far out of town for what we needed, so we decided to skip our second night and move on to a different area. Overall, this could be a good stay for someone looking for a quiet, rustic cottage experience in a wooded setting, but the sleeping situation was not quite comfortable enough for us.

Great spot to look for the northern lights

These little cabins are on beautiful property and the view has so far been unmatched on our trip! Everything you need is provided for a comfortable stay. We were even able to see northern lights one night of our stay (and probability was only a 3 out of 9!!)

Very well equipped and comfortable cottage for our 2 day stay. It was very peaceful and relaxing. The location is not very convenient for any activities, at least any that we knew of. The city of Egilstaddir is about a 20 minute drive. We really enjoyed our stay here!

Super cute cedar cabins. Well laid out with little kitchenette. The bathroom is nice as well. Love how the house was integrated into the surrounds of the trees and the farmland around the area with a little stream in back of the cabin. The supermarket is about 20 minute drive back into town and nice areas to explore too

Loved every moment and would recommend others to come and experience e the friendly hospitality of the host and the horses 🐎 👍

We loved our little cabin at Stora Sandfell! The cabins are nextled amongst fir trees, so felt very private. The kitchenette had everything we needed. The bathroom was larger than expected. This was an excellent location for us as it was located within a 2 hour radius of several sites we wanted to see. The cabin even had a little porch. We very much enjoyed our stay here.

Great stay

The cottages were great. Very quiet as your in your own little space. Stayed in six different places in Iceland and it was definitely the most peaceful. Only stayed one night, wish we had stayed another. Cute front porch to relax on. Shower reminded me of a cruise ship, tight but did the job. A couple bugs and spiders but kinda expected out in country, not scary or dangerous, little bitty guys. Dining table inside made for good luggage rack. The host was super sweet, friendly woman. Highly recommend staying here, we enjoyed our short visit.

It’s a lovely wood chalet house in the nature. Sleeping in the farm, river is flowing next to you and seeing the waterfalls and beautiful horses. Chalet has a decently equipped kitchen for daily needs. Owner and team are very friendly and helpful. Strongly recommended to stay.

Very nice newer cabin in fairly remote location

We stayed in cottage 5. It’s newer and very nice with a nice bathroom. It has a loft, bedroom, and studio living room with kitchenette. The beds were comfortable. The place was super clean. It’s a nice little camping type cabin with surprisingly updated modern kitchen and bath. I’d stay again. Be sure to ask for cabin 5 or one with a bathroom. Some cabins are older and share a public bathroom.

This was a really nice, quaint cabin just outside of the city. The staff was very friendly and accesible but mostly you are going to get a very quiet, private feel with your cabin which we loved. The place comes stocked with basically everything you need including a BBQ which no other place had that we stayed in. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Die kleinen Cottages sind größer als gedacht. Sie liegen oberhalb der Straße, sehr ruhig. Parkplatz direkt vorm Haus. Es ist alles da, was man braucht. Der Empfang war nett, jedoch war das auch schon alles. Uns wurde an der Haustür von der Besitzerin die Funktion der Tür fürs Häuschen erklärt und gesagt: wenn ihr geht, lasst den Schlüssel einfach drin hängen. Im Cottage an der Spüle hängt ein Schild, dass jeder Benutzer sein Geschirr waschen soll. Man ist also auf die Sauberkeit des vorherigen Mieters angewiesen. Hat bei uns nicht funktioniert, wird wohl auch nicht kontrolliert. Wir waren 2 Nächte dort, fanden es war ok.

Joli chalet à la campagne

Nous avons passé 2 nuits au chalet. Trois adultes. Facile à trouver et nous avons ete reçus aimablement par la propriétaire. Chalet propre, confortable et disposant de tout le necessaire. Un peu juste pour 3 personnes adultes mais ça n'enlève rien à la qualité du sejour. Le cadre est magnifique. Egilsdatir est à moins de 15 minutes en voiture (supermarché, station service...). On a pu visiter pas mal de choses autour.
