Charming rural hotel with character
Welcome to a hotel in the country with charm and character.

The hotel is situated on the beautiful Snæfellsnes Peninsula in the western Icelandic town of Hellnar. It is close to the ocean, and to the distinctively pointed Mount Kirkjufell, and to the magnificent Snæfellsjökull – a 700,000 year-old glacier-capped volcano. This peninsula is often called an Iceland in miniature, with the many different types of typical Icelandic attractions you can find here. The area also has many walking and cycle trails in the vicinity, as well as the opportunity to go out kayaking.
