Dalakot Búdardal

About this stay

Dalakot Búdardal sits in the village of Búðardalur on Route 60, fifteen kilometres from Eiríksstaðir, the reconstructed farm tied to Erik the Red. It is a family-run bed and breakfast rather than a hotel, with wooden floors, free WiFi in the restaurant and bar, and mostly shared bathroom facilities across its simple, modern rooms. Mornings start with a breakfast buffet before the day's driving or a hike, and staff arrange horse riding trips into the hills around the village, ground tied to the family of Erik the Red according to the history behind the nearby historical site. Guests travelling without a car can rely on a Reykjavík-bound bus that stops five hundred metres from the property, a rare convenience this far into Dalir district. Fishing in the surrounding lakes and rivers is a common pastime for those staying more than a single night.
