Húsey Hostel & Horsefarm

Le décor, montagnes et animaux

Loin de Egilsstadir (45-50 minutes)

Tutto quanto, immersione totale nella vita islandese. Posto super accogliente e provvisto di tutto. Esterno meraviglioso, si possono fare delle bellissime passeggiate fino a raggiungere una baia con delle foche, se si ha la fortuna di beccarle. Fattoria super caratteristica anche negli interni. Proprietaria carinissima e disponibile. Pulizia ottima. La struttura è in mezzo al niente (e questo la rende magica), quindi è necessario portarsi del cibo da cucinare o mangiare prima

This place is fantastic. It offers a quintessential Icelandic experience: it's an old farm that's been adapted to accommodate guests, simultaneously retaining nearly a hundred years of history. The surroundings are surreal, with fog or mist, birds screeching and circling around, horses and sheep roaming about and finally - absolute silence. It's so remote and yet close to the ocean, to the glacial rivers, to the mountains. You can watch seals nearby. I can imagine spending more time here in the future; it's a dreamy experience that nearly becomes a time travel. I cannot overstate how magical this place felt. Recommended for all people seeking an authentic experience.

The farm is located in the most beautiful scenery and although one could say it's a bit isolated the location is just perfect for the purpose. The place is charming and genuine with tons of character and atmosphere. The best part however is definately the staff. The ladies of the house were extremely welcoming and lovely. We enjoyed our stay to the full and were so happy to have the chance for a ride with the amazing horses. Loved every bit of it.

Just an extraordinary experience - beautiful house to stay in and full of charm. Being on the farm was blissful with all the animals and so many birds. The setting on the estuary is magical. The horses were calm and unflappable, and the instruction was absolutely great. My son had his first riding experience here and it was the highlight of his holiday. We only stayed for one night but wished it could have been longer

Everyone was really nice. Loved the countryside! My daughter loved the dog, Aska. Really good to put our stuff in the fridge. It was lovely and cosy. Thank you.

Great place to spend one our two nights

We loved the sunroom, friendly staff and great atmosphere.

The property was in a very remote location. There was no wifi where we were staying just at the reception.

Nice house with a touch of the past at remote location, perfect for people enjoying tranquility. Great vibe and it was nice meeting other guests in the kitchen area. Very clean until some of the guests got dirt on their shoes so bear in mind that the accommodation functions as a hostel and some things depend of other guests too. Driving the pebble road towards the house you can see lots of birds, sheep and finally horses, but the best is that you can see the seals, too!
