Skalakot Manor was a gem surrounded by stunning scenery, and the most beautiful Icelandic horses You really feel like you’re staying in someone’s home as a very special guest. The bedding was top-notch and the dining room food was fantastic. It is pricey, but very worth it. And the staff is helpful, warm and welcoming. We can’t wait to stay there next time.

Lovely guesthouse off of the Ring Road in a quiet location, with a sauna. Great staff, very welcoming and so helpful - even though there isn't an elevator, they took our big suitcases up and down to the 2nd floor in the service elevator for us, and, let us start breakfast earlier when we needed to get an early start. We didn't use the sauna but it looked great! The bathroom was fairly small. The bed was comfortable and the breakfast was rather extensive and tasty.

Beautiful, charming hotel. Loved our room overlooking the horses and the sunset. The staff (Victoria and crew, including the friendly chef), were wonderful. Don’t miss the spa, it’s included and was perfect after all day driving the Golden Circle.

This property was a beautiful working horse ranch/farm. The staff was 5 star! Costas & Ms Alex took care of check in, front desk, waiters at dinner, bartenders who made delicious cocktails. They went out of their way to make my stay incredible. Ms Editaw in the morning was super pleasant with breakfast, good info about the area and property. I met her husband who is one of the fine chefs. They are putting out a quality menu at night and an excellent breakfast in the morning. The property is beautiful as were the rooms. Indoor Sauna & Hot Tub made for a great way the end each day. I would absolutely stay here again! Thanks for a great stay! ROD
