Borgarnes cottage.

Lovely cottage with great views. Very warm and cosy. Good facilities to self cater. Loved Borgarnes with all the facilities you could need. Found the whole area stunning at this time of year with so many beautiful places to visit.

Excellent Property

Very high standard, magnificent views, great location for visiting places. The property is very well heated - important when you visit out of the summer season! Great decked area, where you can sit, in the sun, looking out over the snow-capped mountains (did that even when air temperature was below freezing). Shops in Borgarnes only about 5 minutes drive down main road. Good location to travel out from around West Iceland, e.g. around the Snaefells Peninsula. Access to property via a short gravel roadway, from main route north ( highway 1) from Borgarnes, so access good even with a lot of snow about. Layout of property very good, spacious and light, with large windows for views. Upstairs bedroom accessed by steep, but safe stairway, and although large in floor area, limited headroom, but not really a problem as a bedroom and again great views.

Northern Lights from here are great! Floor hadn't been swept.

We had a great stay even though the floor hadn't been swept at all. I found a broom and swept it. When getting ready to leave (after two nights) looked under the bed and hadn't been swept there either. But, on the positive side - nice place to stay - the Northern Lights were great, amenities (fridge, washer and dryer and location) were great. The beds in Iceland aren't the normal US twin, a little skinnier, but we got used to that. Know that they in Iceland they just give you a duvet, no top sheet. Not a big deal (we brought one), but weird. Shower worked great (mat would have been nice) and again the location and northern lights were fabulous.
