Country Dream Guesthouse

Make sure you drive in from the Selfoss direction! Do not try to get to the property on the first road GPS gives you if you are coming from the west. After about 2 miles of gravel, the grate in the road is impassable in a standard car. The cottages were very nice and clean.

Gorgeous cottage in the country. Easy to find location along the golden circle. Fabulous hosts that gave us great sightseeing guidance. Excellent communication before our arrival and during our stay. Took a little walk down the back gravel road at midnight and saw the most amazing midnight sun with gorgeous views.

The owners are very nice and accommodating. The home is cozy and comfortable. The location is very convenient for the golden circle and the south coast waterfalls. We were able to see the northern lights on 2 of our nights by going to a small pull off on the road where the home is located. I would highly recommend this home.

This property is fabulous and everyone should go! Check in was very quick and Ragnar very friendly and helpful. The accommodation was extremely comfortable and clean. The little kitchenette was extremely useful for making dinner and breakfast. Location in the country is perfect, away from the lights of Selfoss if you are interested in darkness for the aurora, but near enough to be able to use the advantages is the town.

We only stayed in the Country Dream Guesthouse for one night, but it was great! We rented the one bedroom cottage and it kept us warm and dry on an extremely rainy night. The location was a bit difficult to find in the dark and rain, but I imagine it would have been fine if the weather had been better and easy in the daylight. The hosts were unable to greet us due to a family emergency, which was completely understandable, but they made sure that we had everything we needed and that checkin would be seemless in their absense. The cottage was comfortable and very cute, but if you are staying for multiple days and would like to cook, it may be a bit tight as the kitchen area is very small and a bit dated. Linens and towels were provided and the bed was very comfortable. My favorite part of the stay was exploring the area in the morning when we had good weather - the horses down the road greeted us and the dog was very friendly as well! If I am ever back in Iceland, I would stay here again for a longer time and would recommend it to anyone! A tip: please be sure to contact the hosts before you arrive to clarify the check in process as there is no front desk!
