Everything was super new, it seems that this place has just started operating very recently. All the furniture including the kitchen tools are very new which is a plus. The view from the big window of the glacier was also one of the highlights. I would rate this place as one of the best accommodations we've booked on our ring road trip.

Liked everything, the building is beautiful, the view is amazing, the room is spacious, the breakfast is really good and various, the place even has amazon prime and netflix which is a big plus when the weather is not compliant (happens more than we would like), had to go through the worst storm to get to this place, but happy we did so.

We stayed at Brunnholl Country Guesthouse during our trip to Iceland and were absolutely charmed by this original place! Tucked away in the middle of nowhere along the Ring Road, it’s the perfect spot to unwind, with a cozy and authentic atmosphere. The food was a delightful surprise—delicious, hearty, and made with care, making us feel right at home. The rooms are comfortable, and the glacier views are simply breathtaking. If we could have, we’d have stayed a few more days to soak in more of this hidden gem. Highly recommended!
