What an amazing place to stay. Perfect location, friendly staff, amazing food and comfortable beds. We also went on a horseback ride to a nearby waterfall that was AMAZING. I can't say enough good things about this place. We would return in a heart beat. Oh and they have an amazing trampoline for kids to bounce on.

Staff is lovely. Very picturesque setting. Ice cream was delicious especially the licorice flavor. Neighbors were noisy but once they finally settled in after midnight we had a good sleep. Cute farm dog. Chubby lab will take your food if you leave it outside by the door to keep cool. 😉

The cows eating outside the window of the restaurant really gave meaning to the phrase “farm to table”! Staff pleasant but a few lessons on enhancing the guest experience would improve most ratings. Would stay here again.

We stayed one night and were very happy with the accomodations. The front desk stayed 15 mins late to check us in and the view in the morning was gorgeous. It was muddy while we were there and so had to drag suitcases along wooden raised planks but it wasnt a big deal. Room was cozy & cute but very warm. We ended up opening windows to make it a good temperature for sleeping but it was no big deal. Fun to look in the barns in the morning and see the cows!

The Efstidalur Farmhouse was a lovely stay. It is charming, the staff is nice and helpful, and there is a restaurant onsite for breakfast and dinner (u sure about lunch as we weren’t there at that time). The rooms are cozy, shower is small, but that’s pretty standard for Europe. One caution- be careful where you step- as a working farm, there are animals around and they leave poop…don’t step in it!

This was a unique experience and we loved viewing the cows while dining! The rooms are very rustic and in need of updating. Very dim lighting and bath was small and old. It was overpriced for the value. The staff very super friendly. The kids loved the trampoline snd play area.
