This charming guest house, once a school, provides a welcoming base for families and couples exploring the Selfoss region. The rooms are designed for comfort, featuring private bathrooms and views of the surrounding garden.

Guests have access to a shared kitchen, making it easy to prepare meals, and the lounge offers a relaxed space to socialize. The mountain views from the garden add to the tranquil atmosphere, creating a peaceful retreat.

Our take

The Old School House is a strong pick for families, couples and pet owners who want a hot tub, an outdoor fireplace and a garden near Selfoss. Family rooms with private bathrooms and garden views, a shared kitchen and barbecue facilities make it easy to relax, and free parking suits road-trippers. A 9.5 from almost 150 reviews is excellent. The kitchen is shared, so those wanting a private kitchen or hotel-style services should look elsewhere.

  • ✓Make use of the shared kitchen to prepare your own meals and save on dining out.
  • ✓Spend an evening relaxing in the hot tub under the Icelandic sky, it's a real highlight.
  • ✓If you're travelling with a pet, this is a great choice, but confirm details directly with the property.
