Guesthouse Nypugardar
About this stay
Guesthouse Nypugardar provides a genuine Icelandic farm experience, located just off Route 1 and a short drive from Höfn. The setting on a working sheep farm offers a peaceful retreat with bright rooms looking out to the Hornafjördur Fjord and the majestic Hvannadalshnjúk mountain. Mornings begin with a hearty home-cooked breakfast, and evenings can be spent enjoying a dinner buffet featuring local lamb. The common room is a comfortable spot to relax, and the guesthouse serves as a convenient base for exploring the surrounding natural beauty, including the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon.

Our take
Nypugardar is my kind of Ring Road stop near Höfn: a family-run guesthouse on a working sheep farm, with views over Hornafjörður and towards Hvannadalshnúkur, Iceland's highest peak. Home-cooked breakfast and a dinner buffet mean no evening drive to find food. Bathrooms are shared and WiFi is limited to public areas, but 2,243 reviews averaging 8.8 show how well the formula works for couples and families.
Why we love it
- Authentic farm stay experience
- Views of Hornafjördur Fjord and Hvannadalshnjúk
- Delicious home-cooked breakfast and dinner
- Convenient location off the Ring Road
Why guests love itNýpugarðar is a family-run guesthouse on a working sheep farm near Höfn, just off Route 1, with views over Hornafjörður to Iceland's highest mountain. Rooms are simple with shared bathrooms, and the home-cooked breakfast and dinner buffet solves the evening meal far from town. More than 2,200 guests rate it 8.8. Our editorial view for families: eat the dinner buffet, watch the light on the ice caps, and leave early for Jökulsárlón.
