Our take

Families driving the Ring Road who want space for children to burn off energy will like Hunavellir: a playground, an indoor sports arena and, in summer, an outdoor pool. Rooms face the mountains, some with Lake Svínavatn below. It sits 6 km off Route 1, so allow for the detour. I would pick it for a summer family night with horse riding or fishing arranged.

  • ✓Take advantage of the summer outdoor swimming pool for a refreshing dip after a day of driving.
  • ✓Ask the staff about arranging horseback riding or fishing trips to explore the local area.
  • ✓Consider a room with a view of Lake Svínavatn for an even more scenic stay.

Why we love it

Why guests love it

Hunavellir lies 6 km off the Ring Road, with rooms that face the mountains and some that overlook Lake Svínavatn. The extras suit families: a summer outdoor swimming pool, a playground and an indoor sports arena. Horseback riding, hiking and fishing can be arranged. The pool is a summer feature, so check the season before counting on it. A sensible rural stop for families on a budget.
