    Exceptional 10.0
    We were staying 4 nights in part of a guest house approximately 3 miles from the main house in the family room. We loved everything about it. We were in the middle of nature with miles wide views all around. Shetland ponies grazing around. Fresh towels and beds made every day. Beds were so comfy we would have loved to take them home with us! Selfoss is an about 16 minutes drive with dining options, gas stations and Supermarkets. The breakfast in the main house had plenty of variety. All kinds of hot drinks and juices. Huge variety of spreads, sausage and cheese. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Selfoss is a great starting point for sightseeing on the South Coast of Iceland. We drove all the way to Glacier cove. Great hikes close by. 35 minutes to Reykjadalur Hot Spring Thermal River parking lot (45 min hike one way) Do it! It is so worth it! 35 minutes to Bruarfoss Waterfall hike. One hour one way. Most beautiful hike we did. Small path next to the river. Sometimes hard to figure out where the path goes. Just ask returning hikers. Vatnsholt guesthouse was a great choice and completed our Iceland Vacation!

    Unexpected surprise. Good size room even for two. Friendly staff. Excellent breakfast. We also dined in the restaurant and the meals were great. Considering the place is a bit out of the nearest town it was great to have the option of dining in house.

    Peaceful, family friendly base for touring
    Stayed at Vatnsholt for 1 week. We chose it for its convenient location for touring around Southern Iceland. It was wonderfully peaceful, with great views overlooking the lake and the distant mountains. It was very child friendly and we spent many hours in the games room, the playground and with the various animals. The breakfast was also amazing. The only downside for us (budget conscious family with young children) was that there were no facilities for preparing our own food. We knew this when we booked but if I could change 1 thing it would be that. Otherwise - we loved it. Definitely recommended.

    Sister trip- great guest house
    My sister & I stayed here after finishing the Golden Circle & loved it. Very friendly & big rec room to hang out. We had a delicious dinner in the restaurant & they include a hearty & tasty breakfast in the am before you head out into the wilderness to explore. The turtle aquarium & aftcan partot made the experience fun. Our room was small, but perfect. A great place to try & see the Northern Lights!
