We stayed four nights at this well-appointed home, and were sorry to leave. The cottage is spacious, warm, and well-equipped. The location seems really remote, but we were surprised at all the interesting things to see in the area. There is a beautiful cove a ten-minute walk away, a great space to lose yourself watching the waves crash on the rocks. The walk from there to Arnarstapi is lovely, the climb up the Bjarnarfoss waterfall was difficult but well worth the effort, and the drive to other picturesque towns was very manageable. Unfortunately, the weather kept us from seeing or visiting the main feature of the area, the Snaefellsjokull glacier just outside the window, but weather is a gamble anywhere in Iceland.
The owner of the cottage was prompt in responding to our messages. The cottage had plenty of towels and blankets, a nice shower, washer and dryer, and a good kitchen. The only potential issue with the cottage is the steep set of stairs to the bedrooms - they are not suitable for people with mobility or balance issues, and we found it too difficult to carry our large bags up to the bedroom. So we left them downstairs and had a wonderful stay. We wouldn't hesitate to return or recommend this cottage to our friends.
