Despite the name, this is a two-bedroom holiday home on a quiet street in Hvammstangi, not a guesthouse with shared rooms. The fully equipped kitchen, with a dishwasher and microwave, and the dining area let a family cook every meal, and the washing machine helps midway round the Ring Road. My suggestion: use it as a base for the Vatnsnes peninsula, where the Hvítserkur sea stack stands. Sea and mountain views, free parking, 9.0 from 21 reviews.
