Our take

Guesthouse Bitra is my pick for a warm, family-run stop on the Ring Road near Selfoss: it sits 400 metres off Route 1, about 15 km from town, with views of Mount Hekla or open countryside and homemade breakfast items in the morning. The rural setting gives a real chance of Northern Lights on clear winter nights. Rooms are simple, but 1,072 reviews averaging 9.4 show how much guests like it.

  • ✓Consider booking a room with a private bathroom for added convenience during your stay.
  • ✓Make sure to try the homemade bread and pastries at breakfast, they are a highlight.
  • ✓Keep an eye on the sky during winter evenings for a chance to see the Northern Lights.
