Tiny Church in Stöðvarfjörður
About this stay
Tiny Church in Stöðvarfjörður sits directly on Route 1, about 74 kilometres by road from Egilsstaðir Airport and roughly midway on the run down to Iceland's south coast. Family rooms face the fjord, each with a private balcony, a kitchenette and its own bathroom, which matters in a village where the food options run to a single coffee house down the street. Evenings tend to move outside to the sun terrace or garden once the wind off the fjord settles, and a picnic area gives another spot to eat when the kitchenette does the cooking instead of a restaurant. The quiet residential street keeps the property away from Route 1's own traffic overnight, and pets are welcome on request, a detail that sets it apart from the guesthouse further down Fjarðarbraut.
- Sea-facing family rooms
- Private kitchenette and bathroom
- Garden, sun terrace and picnic area
- Free on-site parking
Our take
This suits families and pet owners more than solo Ring Road drivers passing through for one night: the kitchenette and garden earn their keep on a longer stop, less so on a quick overnight. Couples wanting a sea-facing balcony over the fjord will get the most from the family rooms here. Travellers looking for restaurant options or evening activity within the village should adjust expectations, since Stöðvarfjörður's own offerings amount to one coffee house down the street.
Why we love it
- Private balconies facing the fjord in every family room
- A kitchenette in each room, useful this far from restaurants
- Sun terrace, garden and picnic area for evenings outside
- Pets welcome on request, unlike the village's other option
Why guests love itFamilies settling in here find the kitchenette does more work than expected, since Stöðvarfjörður's own dinner options run to a single coffee house down the street. The sea-facing balcony turns into the evening spot once the day's driving is done, with the fjord and the mountains across it filling the view rather than a car park. The garden and picnic area give children somewhere to run before dinner, and the quiet residential street keeps the property clear of Route 1's own traffic once evening settles in.
