Hvammstangi Cottages
About this stay
Arriving at Hvammstangi Cottages means settling into a private wooden cabin just a short drive from the Ring Road. Each cottage is designed for self-sufficiency, featuring a well-equipped kitchenette for preparing meals, a flat-screen TV for quiet evenings, and reliable WiFi. The real draw here is the view, with Midjördur Fjord and Húnaflói Bay stretching out before you. Evenings can be spent cooking in your cottage or using the shared BBQ hut at the nearby campsite. Families appreciate the on-site playground, while everyone benefits from being within a 10-minute walk of Hvammstangi's public swimming pool, supermarket, and restaurant.

- Pet-friendly
Our take
These cottages suit travellers who value independence and a peaceful setting, especially families and couples with pets. The kitchenettes and shared BBQ make self-catering easy, and the playground is a bonus for children. Those looking for a full-service hotel experience with a restaurant on-site might find it too self-contained, but for a comfortable base near the Ring Road with fjord views, it’s a solid choice.
Why we love it
- Private wooden cottages with kitchenettes

- On-site children's playground
Why guests love itHvammstangi lies 7 km off Route 1 in Northwest Iceland, at the gateway to the Vatnsnes peninsula and its seal colonies, and these wooden cottages look out over Miðfjörður and Húnaflói Bay. Each has a kitchenette, and dogs are welcome. Our editorial advice for families: let the children use the playground, grill in the shared BBQ hut, and drive the gravel loop around Vatnsnes next day to see the seals and Hvítserkur rock.
